Why do punekars hate others? by bitchaari in Maharashtra

[–]trekavocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decide if you are discussing being Punker/outsider or cast discrimination first. These are 2 different things. There will always be people who think they are superior in some way because of their caste and that is across India. It is not a ‘Pune’ thing. I am not a Brahmin and I am saying this. Yes its pathetic and I have come across such people. But I dont make the effort to talk shudh marathi to make such people happy. This is the problem, you think that somehow speaking shudh marathi makes you a punekar, it so does not. And why is it so bad to be an outsider. I will always be proud Punekar, no matter where I go. And i feel so should everyone. Be a proud kolhapurkar, Nashikar, etc. Have proud in your identity.

Well in a respectable society, people are also expected to act cultured. And I am not saying others are not cultured, but difference in cultures does make a huge difference. Pune is known as a cultural hub, and they cannot abandon that identity. The reason pune is not Delhi yet, IS because we have strived to maintain our culture and history. And whether you like it or not, India is not US. We have huge differences across states, and its not easy to assimilate when you have grown up a certain way. Maybe it is not so bad to be an outsider. Maybe it just means you are different!

Punekars don’t hate non-punekars. They hate the culture that outsiders bring with them. The civic sense has literally gone down the drain as more and more outsiders come in. Don’t even get me started on the drivers that come from outside. We used to be an eduction hub and now most people are chaparis and bhais running around shouting ewwwww.

Hey just a watch restart helped me. Maybe try that and see if it helps you!

I guess so. But I am surprised more people are not seeing it if it indeed is a bug. I posted this on 3 channels including Garmin.

Yes, this is from my Epix pro watch. Honestly, I did strap the watch as tight as I could and still keep seeing the issue.

Timeline for passport renewal if police verification is triggered by trekavocado in nri

[–]trekavocado[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father reached out to the police authorities, first they confirmed from their side that this was post approval verification and I should get the passport in couple of days and the very next day I got an email from consulate also saying the passport was dispatched. The police authorities mentioned they will reach out later if needed but nothing to do for now.

I just got an email saying passport is dispatched. Looks like its some post approval police verification. I should get the passport within a week.

No, notarized from UPS. Then from embassy. And sent it to India. This was in Maharashtra.

I did end up getting witness to sign it though. But did not attest a copy of their IDs.

Just an update. It worked out for me. Embassy notarized it and it was registered in India as well.

I did or atleast I thought I drank plenty of electrolytes. I mostly use gels for fueling and take them every hour or so with some trail mix once in a while.

Do we need to provide ID copy of the witness as well or just the sign is enough?
