The highlight of
my recent visit to Pune was
'South Court' - the hotel where I stayed along with fellow architect Ravi John. It was by chance that we strolled into this colonial villa . Its located at Koregaon Park , the same street where Osho's commune is located. The hotel, which looks like a "
booth bunglow" at first sight, is owned by a rich old Parsee gentleman we were told and is now under renovation. If properly redone, it has the potential of becoming an Architectural landmark in Pune.
