Some shops with "Andhra Mess" and "Andhra Biryani" are seen in famous areas of IT companies.

The biryani with a slight "salty taste" is too tasty comes with a gravy and a curd bowl. Charged at Rs. 70 - 75, is a full lunch or dinner for single person.

One the other side, at Andhra Mess, the unlimited Veg-thali comes at Rs. 35 - 40 is also a good choice for Veggies. It comes with some 5-6 different vegetables, curd, pappad, chutney and a sweet-dish!

Railway Crossing at Ghorpadi

Daily new scenes can be seen at the Ghorpadi railway crossing! As seen in the photographs, cyclists, pedestrians have no fear.
They cross it like a childs' game...
I remember the scene from movie GHULAM in which Aamir Khan run and win against the running train and thought that how difficult that would be. But seeing these stuntmen daily, I think they are better performers than him.

Ooh yes, I heard that a DESI version of FEAR FACTOR is coming soon!
How about shooting the episodes here in Pune.. I think, they wont get better situations and stunts anywhere!
