Khalid Mohamed: It’s calmer, unpretentious and home of the NFAI

Pune is the closest getaway for me from the madding crowd of Mumbai. It’s calmer, unpretentious and the home of the National Film Archive of India where I saw the classics of world cinema thanks to the kindness of its legendary chief P K Nair who alas is no more. Pune for me is also synonymous with the sponge cake n shrewsbury biscuits of Kayani Bakery. And last but not the least, the city is dotted with excellent eateries serving local cuisine.
