Viman Nagar lies next to Pune’s airport in the north-east of the city and has grown into a busy neighbourhood of apartments, offices, colleges and places to eat. It has a young, mixed population, with many students and professionals who moved to Pune for work. For Myra members, Viman Nagar is convenient and lively, with plenty of options for a short, public first meeting. Introductions here often include people from Kalyani Nagar, Kharadi, Wadgaon Sheri, Yerawada and Lohegaon. The main road near the Phoenix mall and the lanes off it are packed with cafés, dessert places and restaurants serving food from across India. Weekend evenings are busy, while weekday afternoons are calm. If you would like a quieter place to talk, the nearby riverside in Kalyani Nagar offers a more relaxed setting. The name comes from the neighbouring airport, and most of the area was built up from the 2000s onward as the city spread east. Today Symbiosis and other colleges bring a steady stream of students to its lanes, and the weekend crowd at its dessert shops is a mix of graduates, families and engineers from Kharadi’s offices. Towards Yerawada, older housing colonies have quiet temples and tea stalls where neighbours gather in the evening.
