One of the most buzzing and happening place in pune is the ARAI tekdi also known as law college hill, loyola hills, and many other smaller names depending on the access road !this place depicts the true spirit of a true punekar... healthy, wild, spiritual, serene and boisterous.
you have the young people doing their jogs, workouts, the kids and their moms (also some dads) enjoying the manicured wild life ... peacocks, birds, flowers, exotic trees. then you have the real enthusiasts, using this terrain to train before their himalayan jaunt, avid photographers with their deadly SLR Camera n equipment clicking with real precision what to an innocent bystander may look like a random act of amateur indulgence. and ah ! how can i not forget to mention the cute army of dogs... great danes, dobermans, labradors, mixed terriers with their faithful owners, trying to experience the mirage of freedom. truly a magnificent eco-system within another one but this is the one which manages to stay cocooned from the wrath of development, pollution and economic disparity !
