Let us hope that MNS activists that tried to molest and kill the Registrar at MIT get punished to the fullest extent possible. Every engineering college in Maharashtra follow the same laws; the other colleges in Maharashtra are substandard and never get filled up with all of the management quota seats.
Pune and Mumbai seats are always at a premium because they are good places to learn and grow. The MNS activities are now reaching ridiculous and fascist levels and it is time they are bought back to law and order.

70% son of soil reservation in University of Pune..
University of Pune is going to implement 70% quota for postgraduate admissions for sons and daughters of the soil that have also completed Bachelor admission there. So if you are planning to do post graduate education later, you might want to make a decision accordingly based on your state of domicile. Ofcourse, this applies only to University of Pune and not to all colleges operating under the affiliation of Pune University.
A son or daugther of soil is defined as one who has a Maharashtra Domicile Certificate. So make sure you confirm the presence or absence of that certificate before making an admission decision. You can expect "English talking" in University of Pune to reduce in the long run, as the majority imposes its will. Nothing wrong with that. As the Maharashtra government has pointed out, such discrimination is happening all over the country and Pune University is just joining the party. No, it has nothing to do with Raj Thackeray. I wonder why the university officials are running around in Dubai recruiting students. They better be going to Dehu and Dahanu instead.
A university thrives in an atmosphere of diversity. We can expect the quality of Pune University to drop in the long run and a reduction in number of those annoying out of state folks.

Of Alumnis and potholes
The Fergusson College website is boring, but the alumni section used to be pretty snappy. Now they have changed the interface and it does not seem to be all that good. And here is a decent set of images related to Pune.
There is an online petition going on to correct Pune roads. I haven't reproduced the link as every Puneri seems to have signed it already. Also saw the following rules related to the potholes. Reproducing it here as the other link have degenerated into personal attacks.
1. Between any two potholes there is always a road.
2. If matters get worse, one pothole is always smaller than the other.
3. Never follow a car when you drive, follow just one tyre of the car.
4. The depth of a pothole is inversely proportional to its visibility.
5. The probability of a passing by lorry splashing mud on you is directly proportional to the importance of the occasion you are dressed up for.
6. No matter what you wear you will get wet.
7. No matter what you do, you cannot avoid a pothole; avoiding one will lead you into another.
Adding some of my own.
8. The distance between two spots is directly proportional to the number of tires on your vehicle.
10. When you get into an accident, always blame the pothole. You are sure to find one underneath.
11. Have you met Mr. Potholkar and Mr. Khadkar? They have built posh bungalows in the free land that was made available, thanks to the potholes.
12. The size of the pothole is directly proportional to the proximity to construction activity.
13. There is construction activity everywhere around Pune.
14. Software engineers do not do good work in Pune as their brains get detached by the time they reach office. City workers do an excellent job.
15. If road are made of stone, the speed of cars on that road correspond to that of a comparable bullock carts from the stone age.

Microsoft is coming to Pune.
Pune get a boost as Microsoft is going to set up shop in Pune. Apparently the Maharashtra government is also interested in boosting Nashik, Aurangabad, Nagpur and Amravati as software destination along with Pune. Pune will get all the big development shops pretty easily. The selling point of Pune is it's people more than it's location. Ofcourse location and easy access to Mumbai always helps. Nagpur does have potential down the line.

Pune blog created...
The cities of Maharashtra typically have a different beat compared to the states. So I have created a separate blog for 4 cities in Maharashtra now.
