Pune-Kolhapur-Miraj-Sangli-Pune

Had a nice short trip to Kolhapur, Miraj and Sangli over the weekend. Rained a bit, the weather was perfect and the drive a lot of fun!
Miraj was a dusty small town with one meandering central street with some run down motels, a bus stand and the railway terminus, and a maze of narrow, criss crossing streets between old wadas jostling for space with newer constructions. Lots of bikes, rickshaws and cows jostling for space - and yes, not to forget a couple of Audis and Mercs and BMWs bang in the middle of all that chaos. And yes, nice people!

Sangli seemed a larger, more organized town, but we just passed through - would have loved to and should have taken a misal pav break there!

and least important thing though important to think as an indian for every citien over there.. 4 cabinet ministers of maharashtra (top 4 cabinet ministers i am talking abt) belong to sangli- miraj and even then what you described is a real condition in sangli -miraj .. full on corruption...
