Overall Guide : Pune is urban yet has a beautiful countryside to it. Kondhwa is the place to be. Vimannagar, Kalyani nagar and koregaon are just like Mumbai city but getting very crowded and commercial. There are a lot of IT companies springing... more up in Pune. The weather as compared to Mumbai is far better. There is less polllution and the army cantonments and command areas make it a very safe and liveable place because of which the crime rate is also very low. Many mubaikars are migrating to Pune to find some calm and solace. In a few years from now Pune is going to be the "next big thing" ... cheers
