Detailed Description

A strong attachment with the city is one reason that I thought of documenting the stories and events that have transformed the city. It is a common feeling that usually a class of people have for their city they have grown up in. Being a Puneite, I had not known a lot of interesting things about Pune, like how the city got its name. There were similar scenarios around me, due to which I thought of understanding the evolution of the place. The story which I want to tell could be about some simple events, treaties, wars, floods, rivers, mansions, roads, kings, ministers, architecture, etc. My idea was to talk about the unknown facts, myths and stories of the city, but after questioning the idea of unknowingly, one gets an answer that whatever one hears or reads, the next moment it becomes known. So the goal became making a video on relatively unknown facts of Pune.
