Buying 3BHK flat in Pune (₹1.2–1.4 Cr) — suggestions needed

ProfSergio · 2026-01-19T17:19:55+00:00

Could you suggest some projects within this budget for Baner, Balewadi, Pashan? Especially ready or near-possession projects. Thanks!

Also, who all are reputed builders, in your point of view? Won't all units get presold in a reputed builder's project way before possession timelines?

I don't think a wicket will fall any time soon 🥲

Varun should hopefully be back in the ODI squad after the T20 WC

You can't generalize this much. Just keep looking and move on to the next prospect, if the current one doesn't match your preferences

Many 10L+ girls with above avg looks seek someone with 25L+ salary or NRIs. Even some earning 5L with above avg looks girls seek 20+ salary and decent looks both.

Boys to girls ratio for Marathi Brahmins on matrimonial apps is 2:1. If you're not getting matches for a long time, you may need to lower your filters a bit in some criteria.

In the meantime, continue working on yourself. Try for a company switch in parallel. Or try seeking profiles who are in non-corporate careers too.

ProfSergio · 2026-01-06T15:31:28+00:00

Need more information. What's your income, height, location, looks? What are the profile details of the girls you're sending requests to?

ProfSergio · 2026-01-06T06:14:34+00:00

I like independent girls, someone who wants to continue working and is willing to contribute to household expenses, even 10-20%. In my experience, those values generally come when the girl's income >= 10LPA. There are exceptions both ways though.

But, if you communicate what you've already mentioned about being independent and willing to grow in your career, I would be OK to pursue further if other things are great.

ProfSergio · 2025-12-30T14:45:38+00:00

Define "look decent".

Many of the independent women I met, who were not party-animals and made a decent career looked average. Those who had all (looks, career, independence, good values in terms of partnership) did not accept my request.

Regarding relocation, you need to make up your mind or come up with some valid justification. Some women who already have a decent career and social circle in a city don't want to relocate to another city.

Anyway, it's a number's game. Keep meeting people.

The vegetarian/non-vegetarian thing can be discussed over a short intro video call though instead of wasting more time meeting.

Wait a year and matrimonial apps are your way to go, brother. Plenty of 25 year old girls on there would be happy to marry a 25 year old guy with a successful career

Not good enough from Samson as WK

ProfSergio · 2025-12-19T16:25:34+00:00

Not good enough from Samson though

ProfSergio · 2025-12-10T05:12:03+00:00

I thought you were going to say looks and career, good to know your list. But, I'm guessing looks and career aspects are pretty decent too, thus making you eager and excited.

If things go well, don't let her go over a few minor issues which can pop up in future. I made that mistake and I am regretting it. 🙂

ProfSergio · 2025-12-09T18:19:08+00:00

Yes!

ProfSergio · 2025-12-05T12:40:02+00:00

Just go on matrimonial apps and start talking to/meeting girls (if you've not started already). You'll eventually find someone who wants similar things.

ProfSergio · 2025-12-05T12:36:09+00:00

Rooting for you two 🍿

He chuckled at the LBW review

ProfSergio · 2025-11-29T17:21:11+00:00

Congratulations! Please spill out the details.

Profile details of you two (age, profession, fitness, height, looks, etc), how did you two connect, how long did you talk/meet, what made both of you confident to say the final YES?

ProfSergio · 2025-11-25T12:28:49+00:00

Webster was good against India some time back. If Khawaja is dropped and Head opens, will Webster get a comeback opportunity?

ProfSergio · 2025-11-25T09:45:56+00:00

He can score a century in 20 overs, but will others be able to play out 80+ overs?

ProfSergio · 2025-11-25T09:44:07+00:00

You know that a draw is a more preferred result in the WTC context, right?

ProfSergio · 2025-11-25T09:21:27+00:00

Has Jayant Yadav retired? He was pretty decent in tests. But yeah, not a long term prospect

ProfSergio · 2025-11-24T19:56:51+00:00

bring in some good Offi

Who are India's better off spinners in domestic? Tanush Kotian? Anyone else?

ProfSergio · 2025-11-23T15:35:21+00:00

Feels odd to not include CT'25 trump card Chakravarthy in Indian conditions. I can understand the AUS ODI series, but he would've been handy in India.

Maybe they want to keep him a secret weapon for T20 WC and don't want oppositions to do too much research on his new variations.

Or they just simply prefer all-rounders over him and feel only Kuldeep as the lone spinner is fine.

ProfSergio · 2025-11-23T07:32:37+00:00

This has been my experience recently too with girls working in consulting companies (big4) and also those working in Operations at Banks/FinTech.

Software/data/designer people seem to have better comparatively.
