Great Eating Experience
The chief "plus point" of Out of the Blue is it's location. Any eating place towards the Western Suburbs of Pune is most welcome. In contrast to the Eastern Part of Pune which has plenty of good Foodie options, there is a paucity of comparable eateries in the Western Parts of Pune. I feel tha...Read more

Decent food in good ambiance
(Updated Sep 13, 2012 08:09 PM)
Decent food in good ambiance. Last evening my family wanted to take me out to Dinner to celebrate my birthday. They asked me where I wanted to go. Unhesitatingly, I said: “Let’s go to Sadanand”. Sadanand is near my house in Wakad (I can almost see it from my balcony). It is a value-for-money ...Read more

LIVING IN PUNE - Rohan Tarang - a "No Neighbours" Apartment
Rohan Tarang Wakad Pune The water situation is still bad. Please discuss in detail all aspects with the builder before you decide.
Reviewed Reliance Netconnect
Poor Technical Performance
Believe it or not - Wakad is just a stone's throw away from the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech IT Park at Hinjewadi Pune. A large number of IT Techies live in Wakad which is being touted as an upcoming suburb of Pune and property rates are very high. Surprisingly there is no BSNL Broadband availabl...Read more
Rohan Tarang Water Problem Thanks for the good news. Let's hope it works. Well I feel that they will have to refurbish the entire piping and pumping system since just building an overhead water tank may not solve the problem.
Rohan Tarang Phase 2 The water situation will remain erratic until the entire piping is changed since the pipes cannot withstand the pressure and give way unpredictably causing a no-water situation and lots of inconvenience . Please clarify all issues with the builder before you book the flat. I sug...gest you talk to the technical guys rather than the sales persons. Once you buy the flat there is nothing much you can do and you are left with a fait accompli. Location-wise the main advantage is the proximity to Hinjewadi IT Park and a comparatively cleaner place than other Wakad projects . The design of the flats is good but the quality of construction and after sales service is not that good. We have seepage problems in the walls due to poor construction quality. There are other problems too like non-availability of Internet Broadband and BSNL Landline etc. I suggest you discuss with your friends living here before taking a final call. About the rate - well I really don't know the prevailing rates now. Also it all depends on whether you intend to live here yourself or give the flat on rent. All the Best. Regards. VikramRead More
