I did my undergraduate study in the city of Pune, which was formerly called Poona. Pune is a city in Maharashtra, to the east of Bombay. It is one of the oldest cities in the region, and was the seat of the Marathas, which makes it a very historical place.Every major Indian festival is celebrated in this city. The most ornate are the Ganesh Chaturti in September and Navratri in October.  Nevertheless, Pune, is one of the most 'happening' places to be in, especially if you're still in school - it is more of a college town these days.  

Pune is regarded to be an educational city, of late. There are a number of colleges in this city and a lot of youngsters come from all parts of the country (and from foreign countries as well) to study here.
