    Hi Anaanya And Gayathri,
    I am happy to know that I was of some help to you.After coming to Pune,I did number of short courses like dry flower making,fibre glass murals,chocolate making etc.As compaed to Delhi where I was earlier,Pune is a smaller city and once you are familiar with the place commuting is possible.
    Ladies here are quite enterprising and one can see lot of activities happening.
    In Pune Mirror or Pune times(TOI supplements)also, if you go thru pg 32(daily events)it will help you to know some of the the activities going on.

    Hi Latha, your PM made me take a look at this post.

    Kharadi was earlier an interriors of Pune, intially only residential . But with the increasing number of IT companies - there have been many many IT companies coming up in this area. Also, lots of building are under construction for IT Parks with multiple companies in one campus. It is very far away from the main city - but Kharadi has developed a lot due to IT companies (and with that the Pune airport being located near).

    So do not worry, there are lot of residential places available there. Some of my classmates were located at Kharadi and they found some comfortable places around Reliance mart, Kharadi bypass (you can search the name in google map to see where exactly it is located). I know of a Balaji complex near this Reliance that could be useful for you.

    I believe that there are a lot of places to rent around - because the public here also knows the senario of IT people looking out for rentals.

    Cost of living is high - as any other big cities, but not as much as Mumbai or anything. living here is NOT impossible. The typical rents that you might find for good places are around 8/10K for unfurnished 2BHK flats and kind of 10 - 12 K for furnished 2BHK.

    Now, if at all (and really I dont think this would be the case) you dont get places here, you can look up for places at Vimannagar. Vimannagar is near but at a comfortable distance from Kharadi. Vimannagar is costlier but there are n-times more options here (with the simbi college and other colleges and IT companies around).

    I do not know about any schools there in Karadi. Though a "Zensar High School‎" turned up when I was doing a google search (I have never of this school before though) . There is Bishop's school at Yerawada which is 8-9 kms from Kharadi (you do get frequent transport). Sorry, thats all I know about teh schools here, but I am sure there would be more around the place,

    As I have never been to this place, only heard from my friends I know only this much. But I will try getting some more info and a number of a broker or something to help you out.

    Bye..
    Gayathri

    Dear GAYATHRI and PUNE FRIENDS

    Thank you sooooooooo much for your detailed reply and i want further more details, please dear, try your level best to help me ( let me explain about my position in detail) and please for my sake, ask your friends also .........

    And, my main problem is i have to get GOOD SCHOOL , Since , my son is in 5th std now, ICSE board and the school where he is studying is such a wonderful school and there will be fear free enivornment, teachers will be very very friendly and caring to the students ( students will feel at home in school) and till 5th they wont have exams ( but cycle test will be there) and NO DAILY HOME WORK or WORK PRESSURE for students and very VERY LESS WRITING WORK ........my son is studying in the same school from his KG and he is very attached to the school and the teachers there ( than family members) , reason behind is TEACHERS ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND THEY WILL BE WITH UTMOSTTTTTTT PATIENCE to the kids and they will neverever PUNISH the kids even for big mistakes instead will shower their affection to correc them......SCHOOL MOTTO IS :

    NO REWARD
    NO PUNISHMENT
    NO FEAR
    NO TEARS

    At GOOD EARTH SCHOOL they lay lot of emphasis on excellence and on self learning and there is no place for comparison, ranking or competition

    So i have big fear in changing him suddenly from this type of school and putting him in totally new environment , since i always feel MENTAL ATTACHMENT is always an added advantage to get success in anything , and my son is doing very well in studies, no need of running after him to do his homework or even no need to teach him in the house , but iam scared whether WE WILL GET SAME TYPE OF SCHOOL IN PUNE ALSO or else atleast good school with good standard and quality education

    Friends, even in pune , you might have come across this type of school, if so, please please share with me

    And,normally When will they start admission there, what is the procedures., i heard admissions will be over by Feb, i it true, will they admit now, hope he will be having entrance exam, in that case, what will be the syllabus???.........Frineds, IAM WORRIED, PLS PLEASE HELP ME .......

    Only based on your reviews i can decide, i dont have any close relatives aor friends in pune exccept my IL FRIENDS, hoping you guys will guide me for sure to your level best
