It is technically what you had call a heritage loco.
Indian Railways classifies locos by three initial letters . W for Broad Gauge, Y for Meter gauge and Z (pictured) for Narrow Gauge.
It is a Meter Gauge track in India. Most swathes have been gauge converted towards Broad Gauge (on which rest of Indian Railways runs) but a few still persist.
It is not abandoned though with only one regular service and one special service per day, it might as well be.
Translating to thieves tower roughly; it is presumed the holes in the structure were used to hang heads of criminals to deter others. Dates to pre Mughal times[read: before 16th century].
Name translating to 12 pillars [after those supporting the monument], this likely dates to 14th century or so. This area is dotted with these structures and since these are pre-Mughal; often have a very dated look. [It was most likely a tomb].
Sorry for the panoramic slightly tilted image. But the place had a ton of visitors and it was almost impossible to image it from front without dozens of people coming in the view.
Lying in south Delhi, this is a 16th century tomb and the complex part of a UNESCO Heritage Site.
Mausoleum of a poet dating back to 16th century. [It is technically only in partially ruinous state due to conservation efforts, hence if it violates the rules, feel free to remove.]
A mausoleum in Delhi dedicated to the poet Kabir. Dates back to 16th century.
Metrolist will have one limitation. I don't think Google allows for High quality music streaming (which I think is 256 kbps on their part) on free accounts, so it would be impossible for the app to bypass that.
Though if someone has YouTube Premium, one can as of now, use yt-dlp to download songs from YT Music in High Quality via --export-cookies flag.

There was a Co-Recursive podcast episode on this topic as well. It was a decent listen. It has some more interesting links on the site/page. Episode Link
There were originally five of these built in different cities colloquially called Jantar Mantar [four survive to this day]. The most famous of them arguably lies in the western city of Jaipur, India attracting both domestic and foreign tourists. This one is a small location lying sandwiched across 'ghats' along the riverside.
Originally dating back to 8th century, it was fortified later in 15th century. This is the place where Buddha first met his original five disciples.
I think this was the place where Buddha first met his original disciples. This place was given a facelift later around 16th century.
Arch Linux also stands for I can't configure Gentoo. :p
I went to a site called remove Paywall .com or similar and it offered this. Since I had a free account at 404 Media, the soft Paywall didn't affect me in first place. Do tell about alternatives though.
With the exception of Delhi (which has ~400 km of route length), many cities have perilously low route network (as low as single digit in many cases). This leads to under usage in many cases.
Of course, not all is woe. I have personal experience with two metro systems listed in the article. Kanpur has increased substantially from the paltry 3% occupancy article lists after route length increased and main railway station was connected. Yes, it is still far below saturation but better than nothing.
As for Pune, I am wondering if they took non peak time data(or old data) for reference. Because I traveled there last year and at evening, it was exceptionally dense crowd (like barely could get place to stand).
I also am on Void since past couple of years. Paired it with LxQt DE for sometime. I didn't have much opinion (or even cared) about systemd (which Void eschews in favor of runit) when I chose it in my distro hopping days. It's lean and clean though package repos slightly smaller than competing ones.
I think I had used fluxbox once. I see that it was a fork of Blackbox originally. Is fluxbox more feature rich now than Blackbox? (I am assuming former would be more popular than it's original fork now ).
I started with Ubuntu (when it was left, right and center in my country) but soon gravitated towards Debian. The old packages can be a pain sometimes ( I even tried running Debian Unstable for sometime and ironically that is quite Stable as well) but other things are quite sane.
The distro isn't hard to use (though it does not hand hold like Zorin OS, say) compared to likes of Gentoo or Arch and deb packages are quite common (for third party software).
I ultimately(distro hopped a lot) settled on Void Linux but Debian, IMO, is still slightly easier. The only Achilles' Heel is the woefully sore update cycle since the focus is on stability.
