plagued by potholes and pigeons.
i grew up here, right until after i turned 18. after being away for five years, so many parts of the city seem strange to me. the short breaks i had here were far to hectic to notice a lot. but being here and truly experiencing it again, i see how much has changed. but much is just as it was; that makes it seem surreal sometimes, seeing bits of a familiar past with an unfamiliar present. and that makes me nostalgic and regressed. random memories i haven't thought about for years spring up and make me feel slightly vacant inside.
but i have spent some of the best years of my life, thus far, in this city. they were glory days, like Bruce Sprinsteen's song. and for the most part of it, i love the smells of this city, and even the noises. being here is like being in a place i had dreamt of.
there is something really pretty about pune. and i know i had seen it before.
