On other days I come here to walk and on Sundays I come here to play. My life would be very different. The enthusiasm that I have for playing and walking will be over. It makes me feel good. It is up to the government really. They do what they want. Sometime there are temporary shops here around Diwali. If they build a stadium that would be better. The smart city can bring a lot of change. It will bring the awareness and discipline that everyone will want to follow. 31.3424849 75.561179 Jalandhar 2DbnxNxUCPGVwQRKdnFhVu Image_002.jpeg This place is important to us because the ambience that we find here...the oxygen and the greenery...we don't find it close to our homes. We come here and we meet highly educated and wise people who tell us about the state of society and share their knowledge with us. "I usually come here in the evenings. I come mainly to play badminton. Although there is no proper badminton ground here, we still manage to have fun with it. And within the fifteen to thirty minutes of play we manage to overcome the stress and exhaustion of the whole day." In the absence of Burlton Park it would be difficult for us to keep up this daily routine - these few hours of breathing time that we get - it won't be possible anywhere else. Burlton Park makes me feel excited. The thought of playing and meeting my friends makes me happy. We have a great time playing in the park. "I don't think it needs to change but it should be improved and enhanced. The main motive should be to provide better facilities to the people living around here. Everyone has a good time here and they feel safe, so that should be maintained. And we should improve our national performance in sports. So they should provide more facilities for sports enthusiasts so our children can perform better and make the country proud." "If the smart city can bring improvement to this area through the sports hub then that would be a good impact. The people around here will feel very proud. They will have improved economic opportunities, greater property valuation and a better perspective on things because of the famous people who will visit the area." 31.1040116 77.1730515 Shimla 2EVgkAEhjRTyBDkHeePFm3 Image_003.jpeg 21.20174976 72.84561678 Surat 2pbPz5dyLTETM1trMZCJpn Image_004.jpeg 31.1034399 77.176971 Shimla 3i89EvBsjYyKwPZVFcLWvC Image_005.jpeg (Trial/Demo entry) This is a picture of the car parking in (can't hear the name of the place). I cross it everyday. It would be good to have one more floor added to this parking which would ease the parking situation in the city. "It is fine as it is but an added floor would be really good. Because now some cars need to be parked on the roadside, do another floor would make it easier." No it should remain a parking space. Another floor would open up the road as the cars are now parked along the road. 31.304915 75.5759174 Jalandhar 4LqiDZbAq7bQzayDvQPPzL Image_006.jpeg I like this becauseâ it's a cool place and it has a lot of parks. I visit this place daily and... specially in the mornings and evenings. Without this park it would be tough to me image my life because this is the only open public space near my area. This park makes me feel very nostalgic because my family has been coming here from generations. "No, I don't think so... anything like specially a sports hub should replace the park." I think these changes will result in a loss of greenery to the city and that's what I am afraid of. 31.1038017 77.174035 Shimla 4mGJ3vGh3GpU65ujAzsNJ6 Image_007.jpeg 21.20161385 72.84585789 Surat 4rjbPpWN6Fs9dzhJtBkqj3 Image_008.jpeg 31.3424849 75.561179 Jalandhar 4ygJXgjzvBLd1FzDnqkjea Image_009.jpeg Burlton Park is a special place where we find fresh air and the company of senior citizens who give us wisdom and guidance. I come here in the early mornings and late evenings to walk and exercise. The inner city is very congested. There is no space to walk. These 64 acres of Burlton Park are peaceful and open where we can walk and exercise. It is a good place to get away from the city. The thought of this place makes me feel relaxed and charges me up with the thought of going there and exercising and doing yoga. The company of my colleagues and co-walkers is very valuable to me. Under the smart city project there is a proposal to make a cricket stadium here. We will be happy if this happens because the city will develop and the economy will benefit. But it should not cut into our walking space or disturb the park by taking over this land. It should remain restricted to where the older stadium was. Smart city is for the development of the city. It will bring smartness into people's way of life and progress the economic level of the city. So overall it will be beneficial for us if the smart city is made. 31.3428571 75.5613027 Jalandhar 592Q23K59f3nTsqxNC1V17 Image_010.jpeg "The park is an important part of our lives. The ambience that it provides is the most important. The government wants to build a sports hub here, which is fine. But it should not hamper this ambience. They should not harm the trees and plants and should improve the place within those limits." In the morning I am here from around 6 am to 8 am and then again in the evening people are here from 6 pm to 8 pm. The environment during these times is great. There is fresh clean air and it gives us a sense of relief and relaxation from our hectic lives. In my opinion we would become like fish out of water if this place was no longer there. Because pure air is the basic necessity of life. This place is very close to my heart and sometimes I dream about being here even in my sleep. I have been coming here for about 30-35 years. I can't imagine my life without this. It would be a desolate life. I think nothing is more important than the ambience of this place. Everything else comes after that. The sports hub is fine but the most important thing is the environment of this place. "I think the smart city should not disrupt things too much. Smart city is a good thing and we want to be able to be at the same level as Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta or even abroad like Japan." 31.1023635 77.1695311 Shimla 5UzjbKs8SfWxdjFoo2fbqJ Image_011.jpeg 31.3450786 75.5592501 Jalandhar 6gfvXJaJK62HdcxoZTD1xh Image_012.jpeg "This is an important place for us. People come here for various reasons - to play, to stroll, to exercise. All of them feel happy from the time spent here. They feel relaxed and freshened. Be it women or children, they talk to their peers and to the senior citizens. Young boys play their matches here. Everyone enjoys in their own way." "We usually come here on Sunday mornings to play cricket matches. If not, then we take a stroll and spend some time together." For those who come here on a daily basis it would make a big difference. They can't take their walks or meet their friends somewhere else. This is a good place for them to 'timepass' and relax. It is not something that they can just do at home. It makes me feel good. The thought of meeting my friends is good. Where else would we go? This is the only place where we can 'timepass'. The place used to be quite barren before. Now there are nice walking tracks and trees in the park. It has improved. It can improve further if the garbage is removed and more cleanliness is maintained. It become an even better park. The smart city can have a good impact. They should build a sports hub and stadium. It would encourage people to play sports instead of getting caught up in drug use. So it would be a good impact. 20.0072 73.79318004 Nashik 6iwLs2oZ3cFDBG7mzVeQGm Image_013.jpeg "Here you see it's Asthi Pooja... Asthi Pooja means, you see, that our parents have passed away it's their Asthi Pooja... it's those bones or ashes that you get after the cremation, those are brought here and religious rituals and pooja-path is done here and offered to Mother Ganga. Man is born from earth and that is where wants to peacefully go back there. So, for that Dharmic (Religious) rituals Brahmins are available here, they carry out the rituals and give satisfaction to the people. So, this place must be considered important, and it indeed is an important place. This is an important holy place of Mother Ganga. And to come to this place for your parents and get the rituals performed for Shanti of their Atma (peace for their soul) and if you have said anything wrong or otherwise to them in your life, so to ask for forgiveness. It is important to consider such a pious place to be pious. " "I come here when I have time, I sit here peacefully for some time, I come early in the morning and watch the religious rituals that are being performed and feel satisfied and content about it, and when it's time, as per the schedule, I go back home. That's the reason I come here, there is no other purpose for coming here." "If there is not a pious place, that does not stop people's work. But feels the lack of it that such a place is not there. There are places... cities nearby where there are not such places... so for them it's indeed unfortunate. But even then, the man does not want to consider that to be unfortunate because Bhagwan (God) has settled them there, that's you fate and one should be content with that ha... ha... ha... so go into his remembrance, keep him in your thoughts and go that place... . You go either in the car or the bus or in a government vehicle, but people come here for peace, that's the thing. " "That is very good, we have to have good thoughts. That is important. Earlier, our forefathers since early time have lived near water and spent their lives. So that happiness is there in the heart. Because there is work here, water needs are met; ones life goes well. This is a thing of purity, purity means, till date what this Hindu society has brought... this is a challenge... it's a challenge to the society to the world... the society is ignorant... nobody can say more than that... . " "This is the arrangement for the light at the night, so that it is visible at night... if some improvement is brought it will be even better... at night its dark here... if there is little light, brightness... it's like it is a pious place of Maharashtra, it's not just Maharashtra but people from all India come here. It's Ram ji's, Pandav ji's... this place is of kaurav's and pandav's... so here people come from all India come here... for them its good that the place looks better... this is a place that the more the government makes this place the more benefit the government gets in the form of tourism... if on one side the government spends then on the other side it gets it as well... they should not worry about the spending... but the issues of the lighting must be improved... " "If these improvements are done the life of people will also be improved... and with that the businesses also run better... so if a city looks bigger, those who go out for shopping to other places come here... if the sales increase the city will obviously get better... it will come in the smart city... it is a nationwide project. But the project is not yet started but it is a good project." 31.3428547 75.5612942 Jalandhar 7fEVjmouDjiw8m35ucdASA Image_014.jpeg 31.3454185 75.5606026 Jalandhar 7SS6rVYTLNYYdqb6svV1ht Image_015.jpeg There is no space for kids to play inside the housing societies. This is a good place where they can play and we can accompany them. The air is clean and pollution-free. It is good to be outdoors in such an ambience and we learn new things here too. "In the morning from 5 am to 9 am and in the evening from 5 pm to 8 pm, these are the designated times for walkers and joggers. For the rest of the day one can come at any time and relax here. There are travelers who come here and wait for their trains, there no issues with that." I think we would be just sitting at home and getting sick. Here we have an open ground to play and walk and we have the motivation to leave home and go outdoors. The pollution would also increase. "When I think of this place I feel proud. These days there are no spaces like this where children can play, we can meet our peers and elders, and get some valuable life lessons. The exercise keeps us away from bad health, so the place is full of benefits." I think the sport hub should be built but it should not be exclusionary. There should be progress but if they impose fees and block the access for ordinary people then that would not be good. It should be open to people as it is now. Children will have a pathway to sports which would be good for them. But if the sports hub takes over this land then the ordinary kids who play here will lose their access to the only space where they can play. 31.1067511 77.1749425 Shimla 8Ky3bPuJoYJtPmQn34imQR Image_016.jpeg This is the townhall of Shimla which is a very important landmark for all residents. "Earlier it was the municipality here but now it is the DG office, for residents it was ... ..., but the residents also want it to be converted to ...

Why is it important because there was a mamledar (a gazetted officer of the state government) in the old times, there was famine in the Satana city, the Mamledar distributed all the wealth from the treasury, when he distributed everything the collector asked him about it. He said that he gave it all. Then he looked after all this. Even then, after two days the treasury was as it was full of money. Whenever any poor travel would come to his house he would give everything to him... like food grains etc.. Once, there was a couple, a man and a woman who visited them, when the lady went for the bath she had nothing on here, not even a sari (clothing) then his wife gave even here ... to her. If any traveler would come to them, they would give water, arrange for the bath, something to eat, they would give all of that. He used to give everything that he had. There was a traveler once and he did not have any food to offer him, he sold his wife's Mangalsutra (a necklace worn by married women) and gave them food. One day his Guru wanted to test him, he said you give a lot of charity what would you give me, in reply he said he would everything he would ask for. The guru said see you would be in trouble, he said no I would not have any trouble. Then he said would you give me your wife? He said yes, I would give you my wife. Then he gave his wife to the guru. Next to the river the guru disappeared and his wife come back as it is. This way his ... Satana, Mewla, Bhosegaon, in those places he was a Mamledar. He was born in Bhosegaon. His samadhi is in Nashik and ... there is a big yatra (procession) in Satana for him. He was a great philanthrope. That's what it is. What else... " "Now, next month is pilgrimage for seven days. In the pilgrimage, there are pavilions set up and there is religious chanting, and satsang (spiritual discourses) every day. Reading from scriptures and aarti (prayer ritual) is also carried out." "... for the ghat there is river... river's nargoda is a tirthsthan (place of pilgrimage), everyone come here because it's a holy place. What was life without Godaghat? Who would have come here? Nobody would have here, because market and all is there on that side. Goda ghat is there that is why, it's a holy place for taking holy bath, for Darshan everyone comes here. Last rituals are also done here that's is why there is significance of Goda ghat." "What I think about Godaghat is that Godaghat is very nice. Ram was born... Ram came here, Ram-Sita came here, here in Tapovan. Godaghat is very good, Godaghat is a place of a pilgrim. For some work, some funeral activities are the Ram temple, the (Unintelligilble) temple. Godaghat is near these temples and bath. And water is available for bath, that is why Godaghat is nice." "There is nothing in Goda ghat, it's only Goda ghat here. They want to build something here.no, if we go to Godhaghat... ... who will they come... ..." The change will take place but still the work being done is not good ... if you speak about the roads MG Road ... ... roads are wobbly. The work being done is not good. 20.00367 73.7909911 Nashik 9DGkxsfaa7jyr4vQ8c6w6t Image_019.jpeg "Firstly, our guruji here on the ganga ghat ... he used to sit there behind the ... temple, he used to solve the problem that people had. These saints and sadhus... they would guide people who would come with any problem. That's why he had many followers. And the very place he was cremated, and at this very place where his samadhi was built. And the second important thing is that this place is near river Ganga, infront of Ganga, that's why it has a lot of importance, this place is important, a place is more important it is said! That's why this place is very important. For any pooja-path, worship you find a lot of peace here. That's why this place is very important. And here everyone... Ram ji visited this place, great saints, sadhus, I mean Mahatma Gandhi or anyone, Nehru... everyone's ashes are brought here... all the great mahatmas, sadhus, saints, everyone's ashes ... this place is called Uttarkashi... I mean it's called Dakshin kasha, so everyone's ashes are brought here... " " I come here at 5 o'clock in the morning and performer pooja at the temple, and go back by 7 o'clock... if it's a holiday I would come here in the afternoon, even on the working days... at the end of the day I come here at 00 in the evening, pooja is performed at 7:00 in the evening, in the morning the pooja is performed here before 7:00, with in 7 o'clock, between 00 to 7:00, and at 7:00 in the evening the pooja is done. " If Goda ghat would not have been here... I don't know but I think we would not have been able to live here. Because I had looked for a couple of places outside of Nashik but I could not move there. I could not move from here I swear... I have the house here nearby ... near Goda Ghat ... so Godaghat means life ... I will never leave this place. " About Goda ghat the thought that came to me is that... I did a complete Parikrama of Godavari. Completely from Nashik... from Trambak to Nashik, Mepad, Nanded, then Bakinada, Yaannam, Bhadrachalam ... .Pendekery ... and finally Antarvedi where the Godavari ends. From there taking a turn on the other end where it ends I have walked back to Nashik on foot. It took me complete 110 days. I have walked the whole Godavari parikrama. That's how I think of Godavari, this is the love that's I have of her, that's how much I love Godavari. " " At the Godavari where the city begins, from there Godavari can be developed and made beautiful. If there is a vision, the business can be expanded too because where there is water, pleasant temperatures, people get attracted automatically. Something can be built there but a vision is needed. If there are architects, designers, and a meeting with people is conducted regarding what can be done, what not... if something like this is done then it is hundred percent sure that Nashik will become world-famous." "If a city is developed there, certainly a change will be seen because everyone... desires change. Anyone wants development, no one says, 'brother, I am old-style'. Everyone wants something new. If something new is made, many good things can happen, so much joy can come, the freshness will come, people can also feel fresh, everything will be fresh." 31.1039323 77.1727269 Shimla 9H2u1rvQB3pJPQ2hQfwjv7 Image_020.jpeg 31.3454185 75.5606026 Jalandhar 9KmZ9qRgno38gFUQ84ZkXE Image_021.jpeg "It has got its historical importance. Lot many international and national level players this, I mean... this ground has produced. Lala Amarnath, Mahindar Amarnath, Surendra Amarnath and there are plenty of players who could have start from this place. Earlier it was a beautiful, you know, stadium, which was demolished with the... with the expectation that they will derive funds from the centre and it will come up again. Thereafter, there is hardly any financial assistance to the persons who are looking after this place and as a result, beautiful place, you know, which can... which can come up with a.. international ground you can say, cricket ground. This is the need of the hour, incase the centre looks to this aspect I think a... it would be... it would be one of the fantastic places. " "I visit... I rather visit this place daily and I become enthusiastic to see the... see the youngsters playing over there in the nets and I can recall my past days, you see, when I too have been playing in the same ground." "I would have to, you know, go at a far more farther place that may not be to my suitability or to my liking as regard to this place." You feel like beautiful stadium is going to come up which will not only nourish youngster but lot many international and national level matches can be witnessed by all surroundings... and the citizens of Jalandhar and just nearby students. " Aaa... I think... lot of greenery has already come up, two societies are looking after the Nayyar valleys where plenty of... thousand and thousand of persons they roam around in the morning, they... they walk in the morning and in the evening as well. Except cricket stadium there is no other option, you know, which I find far more suitable." " This is said to be the heart of the town and quite nearer to the posh colony and I... I think a ... these youngs... besides not many colleges, schools are there on its way, you see, I think this is the most suitable place." 20.0041 73.79250002 Nashik a7Y4uz8SxAzcTokmvVPvai Image_022.jpeg "We do ... here, we take bath in Ganga. And there is this ... mandir, which is 450 years old... ... this is the main temple. Kumbh mela also takes place here, every 12 years. And devotes come here from outside for the darshan. ... ... there is the temple of Ram, Shankar Bhagwan's temple is also here. Everything is good here ... Lord Ram's feet touched this land. Earthquakes never happen here, no other calamities come here. This is mother Ganga; she comes out from Shankar ji's dreadlocks. The water in the Ganga, this all is ... " "Here if we come in the morning, go back at 8:00 in the evening, and sit here to fill the stomach. ... we perform Jagran (staying up all night)." "This is Ganga ghat is there, right? Change will come. If this Ganga ghat is not there, there will not be a change. Ganga ghat is a must. No one starves here at the Ganga ghat. There are all the facilities at the Ganga ghat. " "So, if I am at home and I get this thought of going to Ganga ghat then I come here by vehicle or auto... by any mean I come here. So, when I come here it feels good here. You get to meet people as well and chat with them; the day passes well. " "No, here this Ganga ghat is needed, nothing else is needed. This is good here." "So, if this becomes smart city, it will impact Goda ghat in a big way. Because it will become better. Devotees also come here to take bath, so everyone will like it and devotees come here and parking becomes a problem, then the parking will also be solved, it will be an open space. One will have to come bare foot. The parking will be on both the sides. Parking is good at both the places, Panchvati as well an Nashik. On that side is Panchvati and this side is Nashik. So here, for devotees, parking is not a problem, there is no pain from it, there is no theft or anything. So, if it becomes smart city too, then this ganga ghat will become even better. " 31.3428621 75.5613226 Jalandhar aCgpch4SWGkSkizy8ATyuC Image_023.jpeg "This is mainly for walks, for clean environment and people come here to celebrate birthdays in the park. Also, a couple of people get together and have tea and snacks here... . " "The maximum number of people who come here are retired folks. Those who are free, unemployed come here to spend their time. " "Disease will increase, there is a lot of pollution here. What more can I say... " "It feels very good, there is a kind of happiness that you feel inside... " "Stadium is necessary. Here international teams come here to play, that they have damaged and then due to shortage of funds they are not able to build it here. " "It will be very good. When it will be kept clean, the surroundings will be good, it will look good. What more than that... " 31.3432064 75.5597701 Jalandhar aZB2J93qAWHJBzuSe46aRA Image_024.jpeg This place is where I sit and spend time with my friends. We discuss what is going on in our lives and in the world. This is a peaceful place for us to sit and talk because there is no traffic. This is why I come here. In the evening I come here because that's when I have time. My evening routine would change. Instead of sitting here we might end up sitting in a restaurant or coffee shop or perhaps go somewhere else. I might even stay home or do some other work. "I have memories from my childhood. During my school days also I used to come here. A lot has changed. It used to be just an open ground, full of dust and mud. Now there is a park with grass. So it has improved." In Burlton Park they have plans to build a sports hub. I don't think anything else can come up here for e.g. a housing society. That won't happen because people want the park in this city. So that's what might happen. "I think after the sports hub is built this will become like a hot spot. The way it is now - the peaceful ambience where we can sit and talk - that will be gone. There will be a mall as well and it will generate traffic inside the park. So the way it is for normal people now, that will be lost. It will be better for the city but perhaps not for the normal people who come here now. That's what I think." 31.3447391 75.557141 Jalandhar b9UqnULrFhGqvAxke9Lspy Image_025.jpeg "This is a place within the city that is open and accessible. It is at an accessible location. Not too far away from the city where it is difficult to reach. People can drive here or walk here. Ordinary people usually walk to the park, those coming from far sometimes drive or come on their bikes. They play and stroll and exercise. It is an open space." I come both in the morning and in the evening to take a walk. It's a place that gives me some space within the city. This part is in Punjabi and I am not sure I fully understand. Will get back to it. It makes me feel good. It's the best place within the city and that's why I come here. There are no hoodlums and shady elements. That's why I like to come here. During the Badal regime there was a proposal to build a sports complex here with surrounding shops and other developments. It became a high court case because of all the greenery it would destroy. So then the government lost interest in it. The MLA Parghat Singh was also interested and I think the hub should be built. "It will be a good impact. It is a good locality and very clean. So the hub will improve it. The locality will stay clean, the city will stay clean. They should make a good hub here." 31.3437076 75.5589905 Jalandhar bjGZDHfFrXw8KGwahWEnCU Image_026.jpeg This place is important because we come here in the morning for fresh air and oxygen which is not available elsewhere these days. I come here for a morning walk and stay an hour or so. This is one of the best things that we have. I come in the morning between 7 and 8 am. "My routine will be disrupted for a while and the fresh air we get will no longer be available. But these days with technology, people are used to such things. We will probably end up joining a gym. So there will be an impact for a short while but after a period of time it will be okay." "This much greenery is difficult to come by these days. The atmosphere it provides for morning walks and the space to play sports like badminton, tennis etc is quite valuable." There can be a good play ground or an indoor stadium for children. There is a lot of space available where this can be built. These days children do not play outdoors very much. This can be a place to encourage that. I would say that out children would get more exposure if the sports hub is built. There will be coaches coming from outside who can provide training at a higher level. This will be good for the children as well as for the city. But I don't think this will happen soon as it has been in the pipeline for ten or fifteen years. But if such a plan is implemented in the future then that would be good for our children. 31.3436737 75.5590611 Jalandhar bUsSBXxwHqjwKBDR8LhQT7 Image_027.jpeg "This is a good place for a stroll. There are walking tracks and water coolers. One can sit anywhere one likes. There are no problems, it is a good place." It has been fifty years. In my mind the trees in the park help us to keep pollution in control. Pollution makes people sick. The trees in this park have probably added five years to my life. "As I told you before, even when we visit our relatives and friends, our kids prefer to come and play in Burlton Park than go somewhere else." The sports hub and international stadium should be built. The park is good in its own place. In the remaining space they should build the stadium. This will also improve the facilities within the park. "One of the impacts will be that the sports hub will have all kinds of facilities like medical centre, dispensaries etc. The property value will go up exponentially.

We feel happy when we are able to play here. I come here only on Sundays. I would feel bad if I didn't get to play. It would affect my mood and temper. Thinking of this place makes me want to play because I really enjoy playing. The ground should be developed into a better ground so more people can come to play here. "It would be a good impact. If the place is developed, the city and its neighbourhoods are developed, that would benefit everyone." 31.3425315 75.5609772 Jalandhar dgR4wF354qpU4MdkboKn6D Image_032.jpeg "This is important because, I mean, you can sit here, like there are trees, it looks goods, it looks beautiful as well, its natural whatever it is, it's good." "We come here, like, roam about with friends, it's good, and when there is no teacher for a lecture, we bunk and come here, so, yes, we come here daily, because it's natural here, feel comfortable to breathe here, there are tree here etc." "Yes, this thing that you have said is very good, if this is not here then we... first thing is where will all these birds go if they remove all these nests and all from here, sitting here will be a problem, going out with friends will be a problem, I mean, you feel good to come out here and sit with friends. " "It feels good when you think about it, you feel very good about it that, I mean, it feels comfortable that there is no such issue here, nobody drinks here so you can come here with your family as well." "No, it does not feel like that, because it's a natural thing and who will cut natural things... these trees and all, that will be a very wrong thing. Firstly, we have very few parks here, there are very-very few parks here, there is one this ... park, however, I mean, its little off the city limits also, right, it's not in the middle of the city, there is no traffic here, which is good. This... . " "So if the sports ... is built here, a stadium is built here then it's a good thing, I mean, our kids those who go out to play, could come here, as they go out to play somewhere else, they loiter around, play in the streets, so they will come here and its nearby as well, they will have fun here, they can play here." 31.3428571 75.5613027 Jalandhar dYQWEPsC6Tx3fYpkhTGKdy Image_033.jpeg "This the most open space in the city. There are many trees and we are planting more. These days pollution is on the rise and we need more plants to give us oxygen. Due to climate change the rainfall has become erratic. Trees can help us to increase rainfall and bring the temperature down. It used to be between 30-35 degrees but now it has gone up to 45 degrees. Planting more trees can help reduce this. There is no other space in the city to do this, but wherever I find space I try to plant trees." "Whenever I find time I try to come here and water the plants and take care of them. On a regular basis I am here from 7 am to 10 am and in the evening from 5 pm to 8 pm. If I see any animals destroying the plants I try to shoo them away gently, so they don't feel harmed and the plants also remain alive." "In the absence of this place there would be no other space within the city which is open and accessible to people. There are trees here that may be three hundred years old. Once destroyed, I don't think there can be any technology that can replace that by replanting so many trees. For instance rich people sit in the AC and the rest come here. But I feel that they are harming themselves by sitting in the AC, because nothing can substitute the natural environment. The more we build infrastructure the more we destroy the natural environment. So the rich are both harming themselves and the others by doing this. We should focus instead on planting as many trees as possible." I feel very good. There is no place better than this. I used to live in the village where we had many plants. Then we came to live in the city and I really see this as a problem. All the factories and sources of employment are in urban areas and this creates a pressure on these hubs. There is a shortage of water. They should move industries out of the city and into the rural areas. That would relieve the pressure on the cities. It is a problem created by the government itself. The truth is that there is only one god. Nobody can replace him. This place is also like that. Nothing can replace it. Not only in Jalandhar but also in every other city there should be a park like this. "Till now there have been no positive impacts of the mart city in my opinion. Most of the impacts are negative. Instead of making a smart city they should make people smart - give them employment, give them clean drinking water, have safer roads with less traffic congestion. Trees are being cut in the name of road expansion but more trees need to be planted. We see how many children are born every year and how much infrastructure they will need as they grow up in terms of education and health. Where is the planning for that? I would say making people smart comes first and only then we can think of a smart city. The first step for this is population control." 31.3454152 75.5574267 Jalandhar eGUupp3C8zHyhj8fAPJFVF Image_034.jpeg " ... was built by the English. This was very big. At that time, it used to be out of the city, and slowly it has come in the middle of the city. When this came, people have illnesses, they started coming for walks in it. Slowly it became beautiful. Couple of parks were built, some private... 2-3 private health clubs were built. They spent their own money to build it. They are cleaner." " I come here... every morning I come here and walk. I walk for some time and then sit for a while and then take a stroll again. I have become good friends with many people here, sometimes sit with them." " If this place is not there, there will be pollution. Pollution will spread, diseases will spread. There are a lot of old trees here, which change the environment here. And early morning people come here to walk every day, thus are able to breathe well. There are a lot of Peepal trees here. And, Peepal tree gives oxygen 24 hours. There are some trees that give oxygen for 12 hours. ... ... 100 of diseases are cured, when you walk here. " "Long back it used to be very beautiful. ... Park used to have international ground, big teams used to come there from foreign countries, since they have destroyed it, they have made it a ruin, they have turned the whole park in a ruin. Now you don't wish to go anywhere because this has become a jungle, there can be animal here and there, you don't know from where an animal might come out, you are seeing it yourself all-around, it all has become a jungle. That stadium is no more there." "Besides that, if the government has a project, a good one, they should build that. If there is any project, if it is good, they should build it here, which benefit people, the common people are benefitted, so that the people from other cities come here to see this. This is what it is." "Smart city should be built. It should be built ..., but god knows when it will be built. When it's built, then a lot of... here... these colonies that are there, their rates will go up. The transport will increase here. A lot of poor folks will have means to get food. Some ... will come here. So if there is even a person who sells thing, he will take ... from him. If cricket stadium is built then teams from outside will come here, and the city will benefit because people from outside will come to watch, from Chandigarh, from Ludhiana, from Amritsar, they will come from Haryana. Its total profit for everyone, whether its public transport or private one.

It is a corporation land and almost all of it has been developed. This is the only open ground in this vicinity. People come here for recreational use. I usually come on Sundays. Most of us are working or students so that is the only day we can come to play cricket. Otherwise on a daily basis there are people who come to learn driving here. It would force us to travel long distances to find a place to play. I feel good that there is a play ground close to me even when there has been so much development all around. For me this is primarily a cricket ground even though it has other uses for other people. "There can be a mall or a stadium. There used to be a crossing here called the DAV crossing, which made the traffic conditions worse. Now there is a flyover so the traffic condition has been eased. So now they can easily build a world class stadium here." I think the plan was for a mall which would be good because there are no malls here. The closest mall is about 3 or 4 kms away. So it could be a good development for this area. Right now we only have old school street bazaars. A mall in the area would make it much better. 31.3450745 75.5592504 Jalandhar fQpDVxaDNekksgucwRvTxH Image_037.jpeg I come here because this place is very close to my home. We come here on Sundays to play. We usually clean the place on Saturdays and then at 6 am on Sunday we come here to play. If this place is not there then we would have no recourse for 'timepass'. We would sit at home and watch the cricket matches on TV but I doubt we would go outdoors to play. We like it here but the garbage that is here needs to be cleaned. We have been trying to take this up and have also talked to the corporation about getting this place cleaned. A lot has changed and there is a lot that can change too. There used to be nothing here. Now there are parks and driving lessons. The government can do anything it sets its mind to. It will be good for the neighbourhood. The stadium can bring new facilities into the area such as good places to eat and drink. Right now there are snack shops where the water is not good. If a stadium is built there will be new shops and we would have better food around here. 31.1032889 77.1767812 Shimla gJLLSNzYEPv8CN7nXYn9Zo Image_038.jpeg Demo entry This is a picture of mall road. There used to be small steel dividers placed in the middle of this road. They had been there from the British times. I want them to be restored. "I come here everyday, sometimes twice a day. But people who walk here don't know which side to walk on. They walk wherever they like. Earlier the dividers used to indicate that one can only walk on the left. They really worked well for mall road." "The steel dividers would make people walk only on the left and they were also visually pleasing, they would make mall road better." Whenever I come to mall road now I am reminded of the dividers because people no longer pay attention to the right and left lanes. "When there is a rush on mall road, people often walk into each other which is uncomfortable." 31.1071942 77.1776608 Shimla guzvYRQUHtQ5yZJhuaGGEL Image_039.jpeg 31.3425315 75.5609772 Jalandhar hcNKRXJ3McWGYGabuXgTLz Image_040.jpeg "Because there are trees here. In morning one has to do exercise and all... everybody come here for exercising. These days the pollution that's there for that we don't have enough tree in our city, therefore we have to come here. And this is the best place for this purpose. " "One thing is that I come here regularly to exercise with the family... otherwise at time when there is a possibility, I come here for running in the evening as well, otherwise in the morning... and on Sundays we play for sure. " "If it is not there then one will have to then walk on the roads etc. And otherwise, when people are bored, they come here and roam around. Then it would not be possible if this place is not there. That's all." There is that excitement that one will go there and freely sit there and think something good and... and when you see others come here too... you feel quite good. I don't think so. This is good... what's built here. This greenery and everything is good... we don't have much in our city that's why this place feels very good. "... will have good impact, because those who play here at our place they will also have grounds, those players... and ... those who train... who go on the roads for running for those also if possible tracks will be built. And those who play football, cricket... they all will also come here... those who play in the ordinary grounds and in the fields etc." 31.1066767 77.1760633 Shimla i1C649wqoKYQVB87YjrQSd Image_041.jpeg 31.3482668 75.554084 Jalandhar iPzjDvwCkPtPM53fbdAH2K Image_042.jpeg This is an important place because it is an open ground and a very big park. There is no other place in Jalandhar which has such a big open space. There are many trees and place to sit with facilities like water coolers. This is the best place in Jalandhar. "Since I retired, I had to spend some time in the rehabilitation centre for addiction. Now my children work and I spend my time in this park. Even my lunch is brought here because I don't like to eat outside. But there are many elderly people like me who come and spend their time in the park." The senior citizens would have to find a place then. This is close to our homes and it is easy to access. There might be other parks in the city but they would be far away. What we need is to be able to 'timepass' and this is where we do it best. We have come to know each other and conversation is easy here. My companion here has been interviewed by a TV channel actually. This is how we do timepass. "Even when I go to visit my relatives, I don't feel at home there. There is no place to take a walk or to sit in peace. This is what I really enjoy in Burlton Park. I don't think there is another place like this. There might be in some cities like Mumbai but even then the parks are usually away from the city. This is why Burlton Park is good for everyone." "All of us who live close by, we believe that an international stadium should be built here. We have been hearing about this for a long time. During different regimes like the Badal regime or the Congress regime they keep putting forth their own plan for the stadium but nothing materializes. There are many famous hockey players like the team captains who come from Jalandhar. The stadium would motivate more children to take up sports and to join the hockey team or to play in the IPL cricket teams. So it should be built here." They talk about smart cities but I don't think it will actually happen. Because people who are sitting in positions of power are not motivated to make it happen. You have come from Delhi to do the survey. If you go a bit further into town you will find the smell of garbage everywhere. Even parts of the park have been turned into a dump. When it rains it becomes impossible to walk around. 20.00060998 73.78975 Nashik iwbeFDsamJc9PtFvAHyPnN Image_043.jpeg "It's not important... the ghat (riverbank) is important. She was Ahilyabai Holkar Indore Sarkar it was made in her times. Even this temple was built by her. Temple is now 316 years old. There was so much flood water collided on it with so much force but nothing happened to it. If you see these days even the best of the best builders when doing constructions claim that they have used finest material for which they demand good money, but in 15-20 days it starts cracking. They don't even receive that much force of water. But you look at this building, this temple, it hasn't moved an inch. So, such structures should be made that withstands the water... This is old work. The adulteration/degradation that has happened is completely wrong. The government should be strict that these things must be good here on ly then good things will be built. " "I come to this temple 365 days. And I have the job of pooja (temple rituals) here. I do pooja (temple rituals) everyday so I don't miss it for even a day. When the monsoon comes, then my daily worship is hampered because water gets filled here. " "It doesn't matter. Some or the other pooja (temple rituals) is always done here. It is not that Goda ghat is not there. This is an old tradition. Godavari has been continuing since the times of Bhagwan Ram... Bhagwan started this natural source. God is very kind. If he has given mouth, the God will only give the food. Toiling is in their hands. Was I not in the business of pooja (temple rituals), would have done something else. It doesn't matter. Everyone has a pre-decided job." "It feels good. This is a place of devotion. Many people come here to take holy bath in the pilgrimage site. Bhagwan Shiv also came here to take bath. Bhagwan Ram came here during his exile. He was also very pleased. And anyone who comes here, feels good, I also feel good. " "Removing something which is natural and building something of our own wish is a wrong thing. And if you build anything wrong here, the nature will show its wrath. That which is pre-existing should be kept well. If you want to build something, build something elsewhere which doesn't incur any loss to public and doesn't cause any inconvenience... ...." "In my opinion, smart city should be such that everything should be clean here. Cleanliness should be done here from time to time. The public shouldn't face any trouble. Here those beggars and shops should be removed. It will be beautiful to look at and people will also like to visit this place. If a garden or something is built here, people can sit there comfortably and have food ... if you built something of that sort it will ... if you insist to build a hotel build it with stone so that government has profit and that profit comes in to the use of everyone at the Goda ghat. " 20.0067723 73.7931608 Nashik jfUs6M86fHGgGQ1drqq7KW Image_044.jpeg "... was not there. People come here from outside, from long distances to take bath and to take Darshan. People revere it a lot." Come here to eat food... sometime here for 5-10 minutes to sit and see... we come here... if it was not there nobody would have come here... people come here to only take bath and go back. People come here for the Darshan of the God (Bhagwan) ... .. "I definitely like it that people come here to take Darshan, you also get ready for Darshan. I like this... " "Nothing can be built here, but the Mandir and all that's built here is already well built. Nothing else can be built here... " "So, outside the smart city is being built which is good, but its not being built here... it should be also built here, good pathway, facilities... it should feel good then it will look good." 31.32660597 75.57543477 Jalandhar kfvN8WNq8JKZkjWoNHGj18 Image_045.jpeg This is my friend who is always with me and accompanies me to college everyday. That's why he is important to me. We meet in college and sometime he also comes home. I would miss him in college...when we sit around talking or go to the canteen....it would not be possible without him. If something happens in college he is the only one who gives me company and support. It would be very difficult for me without him. Absolutely not. If he goes to Canada I will miss him and will try to make my way to him. 31.3432927 75.5604919 Jalandhar koRbHEfnG7eVk82jvYTxdB Image_046.jpeg This place is a good way to spend time. It is nice to spend time with friends and it also improves my health as I take a walk around the park. I come in the morning at 5 am for a walk and then again in the evening around 6 pm. I take a few rounds of the park and then rest a bit before leaving. I would have to go somewhere else for my walks. But Burlton Park is big and there is fresh air. There are play facilities for children too. It makes me feel good and I miss it if I don't come. I have started recently but there are people who have been coming here for several years. Every evening I feel like coming here. It is fine the way it is. It is a good park for a locality like this. "I don't think the smart city will happen here anytime soon. There are no roads to begin with. The atmosphere is not the best, people don't behave their best always. But if it happens then that's good." 31.3430413 75.55902 Jalandhar kx6VmhgWKxrArJxF59sPhi Image_047.jpeg The most important thing for our health is to have clean air and a pollution free space to take a walk. This is what the jogging track provides us with. I come here in the evening from around 6.30 to 8 pm. Life would become boring. We would not be taking walks and relaxing here and that would affect our health. When I come here I find myself to be very lucky. That such a nice park is close to my house and there are nice people that I can meet here and my body feels energized by it. "The greenery, the trees, the jogging track - these are all enjoyable for the people coming here. So there is no need to change anything in my opinion." "If smart city means a beautiful city where all facilities are available, then that would be a good impact on all of us. Be it our standard of living or our health or our mental well being, it would all improve under a smart city." 31.3425315 75.5609772 Jalandhar mQ6phqd2YnA43tAwXnfpch Image_048.jpeg This open space is there. The committee should build a park here. Park should be built so that people who walk and roam around could spend their free time here. "Earlier... now we have become old, can't do any work, children give us food and stuff. We ask women to get up as they need to do cleaning, need to wash clothes etc. And we get up and go out. We come back. Till 12 o'clock women's work is not over... of dishes and clothes, one has to move around the house to make space... and old folks are not liked by women all the time. " "... one stays here, who has some free time, they spent time here. A free guy will stay there, walk on the roads... anything can happen on the road. Anyway, young people are in speed on the road, people on cards run fast, they come to our side also. That's why walking, spending time here is better. " "we take a walk here and some play cards, lots of children go to schools and colleges, the college is nearby, children come here to spend time, their classes start at 11 so they come here and roam about for an hour or two." "It should be built. Those who can talk, those big leaders, officers of the committee or mayors they should be told that a place should be built for walking, so that the free time someone has could be spent by roaming around here." "what will happen?... more children will come which will make this place more beautiful. When it is built no... more children will come here, some will roam, some will talk here, where they are sitting... on ... road there is that thing no, of red colour, what is that called, where children take admission, some do exercise, some learn some stuff, some learn running... if that same thing is built here then it will be good, it will become beautiful...

It might look like a Banyan tree but it is actually a local species known as Nandruk (Chinese banyan). These trees have existed along this stretch since before the station at Nashik Road was built. They are over a hundred years old. The trees are now at the risk of being 'murdered' due to the urban expansion. They are perceived as a threat to the availability of space in the growing city. But it is the urban expansion and not the tree itself that is the threat. The process of acquiring land for road expansion is mired in political considerations. If the tendering process for this was made transparent then roads could be planned in a way that does not require trees to be felled. In developed countries there is greater awareness around this and the development planning takes place keeping the trees in mind, rather than at the cost of cutting them down. To his mind the trees are a priority ." "Scarcity of water in urban areas across the world is linked to the diminishing presence of trees. My day does not start without the sight of the tree and I wish to be surrounded by trees, even in urban areas, in large numbers." "In the absence of the tree, I would continue to blame the process of urban expansion for its loss. This would cause me a lot of stress and anxiety. I would be angry all the time." "The tree is often mistaken for a banyan because of the roots descending from its branches. Since parts of the banyan are used in religious rituals, people often come to collect these from this tree. I am then able to make them aware that this not a banyan but a Nandruk. This makes me happy. I feel good that I know at least one of the many trees closely and can spread awareness about it." "I don't want the tree to be replaced by anything. I would like it to be able to live its full term. If it dies off naturally then I would understand, but if it is cut down before the expiration of its natural life cycle, then I would be very upset." If the tree is cut down then it would be unfortunate not just for me but for the entire city. Trees give us oxygen and in their absence the soul of the city would be lost. 31.1030025 77.1713423 Shimla n9gzY2riFibL9H3vSC1JDH Image_051.jpeg 31.3444863 75.5585673 Jalandhar nEBwydjVuTD57HpzH4gEC3 Image_052.jpeg "The place is important because there are a lot of colonies here and only few of them have a play ground. Even the ones that have playgrounds, are not well maintained. So this is the only ground that is available to people from all these colonies. Even here the garbage is a problem, so it should be cleaned and maintained in a better way." I come here on Sundays to play the cricket matches or to practise. Sometimes I also study here. Children come here to play. Now that the grass has grown very tall I feel scared that there may be animals in it. So that needs improvement. It will increase laziness among the people. If there is no ground to walk or play then where would people go? The second impact would be on the environment. There are many trees here and if they are removed then it will have an adverse effect on the environment. When I was young my father used to bring me here to watch international cricket matches. I watched one between Sri Lanka and India. Now they don't take place any more and we have to go to Chandigarh to watch a cricket match. So we would like there to be a stadium so we don't have to go very far to enjoy a good cricket match. Burlton Park should be used as a play ground. It should not be turned into something else like a theatre or anything like that. We want a ground as it is now. A lot of people don't have the awareness. For instance they don't segregate their waste. It would be good if under the smart city we could spread awareness on such things. The other good thing is that the city could becomes more visually appealing. It would be good if that could happen. 31.1012858 77.1738591 Shimla oC6xz8X3LhsAhuB7rqZQeG Image_053.jpeg 31.0998689 77.1735787 Shimla oEBL6mvd2wDgT8wutRCCFG Image_054.jpeg 31.34594001 75.55826996 Jalandhar p2YZNse4jytyhMJQKUgSZF Image_055.jpeg This place is very close to my home. I come here for a stroll because the environment is good and the air is fresh. I am a local. I come and go. I come whenever I feel like. There are no other such open spaces in the city. That would be a big loss for the people. The ambience of the place is good. That would be disrupted. I feel very good. From a very young age I have been coming here. The breeze here is wonderful. "The cricket stadium, if it could be built, that would be great. More people would come here and the place would get its life back." Under the smart city there will be cleanliness and smooth water supply and nobody would litter. 20.0048912 73.7924617 Nashik pn8AR5T2LJdjkseZ3XuBh Image_056.jpeg " We live here... we don't have any such questions... such questions don't come to our mind... we come here, take god's darshan and go off... what is this?

Till the time one is alive this will continue. Once you are dead this is over." "You are sitting here, how are you feeling, you should think about it and do what you like. I don't fell anything now. The way I sit at home I sit the same way here. I don't have anything to worry about. Is there a thing to worry? Why would there be one? My health is also good, I make some money here, that's all.

It is both good for our health and entertaining. I come on Sundays for the games. "There are many people who come here to play. Specially young people come here. If not for this, they might be lured into bad company and get into addictions." I feel very good. "We do want a main cricket stadium to be built. There used to be one before which was demolished. Now we know that there is a plan, so it should be implemented. Jalandhar should definitely get a cricket stadium. It will develop the area a lot." "Smart city is a great project that can improve people's living standard and bring development in all respects such as in education, health, roadways etc. If our area can be developed in that way and be made pollution free then that would be of benefit to all residents." 31.1068466 77.1731402 Shimla rgk6TPKEQZP2BZ2khVLKi1 Image_058.jpeg 31.1003268 77.175592 Shimla rojHYGgzN4uNUYgdoqTADu Image_059.jpeg 31.3424947 75.5611449 Jalandhar rrMK5bSmbRzuGUXzxrKpY1 Image_060.jpeg When we come here we are relieved of our tensions. We sit here and share our troubles with each other which makes us feel better. We come here at 6 pm and take a few rounds of the walk. Then we sit for a while. What can I say? This is the only place where we can come and take a stroll. There is no other park that we can go to. So that won't be possible anymore. This is where I was born and brought up. I have been seeing the place since my childhood. I have played cricket here. If something could be done about the garbage and cleanliness that would be great. If something else is built here that takes care of these things then that's good. Smart city will have a good impact on us. It will improve the standard of living which will be a positive change. 31.3426035 75.5587284 Jalandhar smUdDh1dj6Hn9Z91wkwrBg Image_061.jpeg This is the place where I gain my health. Clean air is rare these days. People are living in bank locker sized apartments with no ventilation. It is making them sick. This is the only place where they can get some open air. Another important thing is our yoga class. We have the classes in the morning. I have been teaching these classes for twelve years and all these years there hasn't been a single death. Everyone is living healthy lives. You must come and experience it for yourself. "I come at 4.30 am and no matter what the weather conditions are I set up the yoga class. Even when there have been deaths or celebrations in the family, I haven't missed this. I come all 365 days because nothing is more important than our health. All the people following my classes will also vouch for this." If this place is gone then the only place left for us will the hospital and the doctors. Our kidneys will fail and we will get heart attacks. Yoga is the only thing that can make our families and our societies well. Even doctors today are not treating ailments but instead asking people about their financial condition. They first want know what your business is and if you have health insurance and if you can't afford it then there is no treatment for you. In the absence of yoga in the park nothing can save the world from destruction. Whenever I think of this place my heart fills up with joy. I feel like I am close to achieving my life goals and this is the place that can make it happen for me. As far as health is concerned I don't think there is anything more important than that. So in that sense there is nothing more important than this place in my opinion. Smart city will be a good impact on people's health. Along with the sports hub there should also be a yoga hall. We are not able to have our classes when it rains. If we are provided with such facilities then I can become a world class yoga guru which I used to be before. Then our children can compete at the global level and nothing can stop them. 20.00570002 73.79366996 Nashik szEXTS5QGpGAAESCUMJAr1 Image_062.jpeg "Saptshringi mata... this is Goddess is called Saptashringi Mata (mother). Her moolpith (the main place where she resides) is at the same place. There was a king Raj Bahadur, earlier he used to go there every day, on the horse he used to go there every day. He became ..., he said to Devi (goddess) that I can't come now, I am tired. Then what she said was if you can't come, I will come after you, let's go... this way... he was sitting on the horse and she was coming from behind, her anklet were making sound, after reaching this place here anklets stopped making sound. As the sound stopped coming he turned back to look, she disappeared. She disappeared, so, there is a small statue here, see. There is a small statue here, it's Swayambhoo (something that has originated itself). That is the Swayambhoo devi (Goddess). " "There is a lot of crowd, It's there the whole day and perform seva (service). " "We don't get that seva (service), we just can't come here, we are from there, from Sangli, from that side, we can't come here, we can't come to Goda ghat. If there is no majdoori (wages) there then what's the point of going there. Food will be called wages only, right? " It looks good. Bhagwati's (Goddess's) face can be seen right in front. "There was Bazar here, it's has been moved from here... there was a bazar here. Now it's for parking, vehicles are parked here. .... " "They... ... what will they do on that it will depend. What the corporation guys will do there, it all will depend on that, what will and will not happen there. It's that. " 31.32566 75.57598998 Jalandhar t7Y8BZthzEnPq7qRRDAo3F Image_063.jpeg This is an important place because I have been working here for thirty years and that is how I run my household and support my children. I come here at 6 in the morning and stay 8.30 in the evening. So I stay here all day long. It would affect my life. I would have to set up my shop somewhere else. I would have to struggle to find a place and carry my goods all the way. It would be quite a hassle for me. I am used to spending my days sitting here at this spot. "I feel good. No matter where I go, I will always remember this place. It has been thirty years that this place has been giving me my livelihood." I don't know what changes could happen here. Nothing has changed but I have heard that there will be a smart city and then changes will take place. So far nothing has changed. "See when the smart city is made and I can see it and find out what is good and bad in it, only then I can talk about it. Nothing has taken place yet so I can't tell. We will find out when it actually happens." 31.3454152 75.5574267 Jalandhar tR67upgTNPc7922ZG6WPFL Image_064.jpeg There is peace in this place. It is far from the hustle and bustle and the air is fresh. I come in the evenings daily. I don't come in the mornings but there are other who come. I would not have the opportunity to take a walk and would be sitting at home. There is peace of mind here and I enjoy my evenings. There could be a cricket stadium. The old one has been lying demolished for many years. They could rebuild that. Smart city would be good. The neighbouring areas would develop. The roads would be nice and clean. 31.3424974 75.5611449 Jalandhar uYv6B2weRdjBpWEHhPKSaU Image_065.jpeg What like best about this place is being able to walk here and watching the people come and go. In the morning I come here around 6-6.30 and I take a walk or I jog. "If there wasn't a park here, it would be difficult for us to find a place to walk or even breathe. The air is fresh here. It would be a disservice to the public for it to not be here." When I think about the park I feel very good. I come here whenever I am free and I really like it. In my opinion the park is the best thing to have here. What else would you have in its place? People feel relaxed and comfortable here. If a sports hub is made it could be very beneficial to people. It could be a source of income and we would not have to go very far for entertainment. 31.1001572 77.1731402 Shimla V8gvJethbgsH2naC4tixa Image_066.jpeg 31.3264875 75.575689 Jalandhar vcQeAvDMyGT7Ey82sJUozM Image_067.jpeg "This is a photograph of my Master ji. When we don't have customers coming in, we spend our time talking to each other and having a good time." We don't need to go because Master ji himself comes to us. "He works in our shop, takes care of all the stitching. Apart from that, I also have a jovial relationship with him and we spend our time cracking jokes, so it is a good way to spend the day." I miss him when he is not around. When there is work and he is not around then we have to find someone else to do the work. But nobody can replace him. May god bless him with a long life. "It is nature's law that everyone soul must renew itself, but I hope that as long as we are alive we will continue to work together." 31.34645999 75.55881998 Jalandhar vyBbAPku9oCL14pe8BdQmG Image_068.jpeg This is the place where we play cricket. This helps us to stay healthy and to stay away from addictions. We come here only on Sundays as I have to work on other days. My Sunday cricket ritual would be disrupted and it would make our Sundays very boring. "Burlton Park would benefit from a big stadium like the one that we had before, where big players from outside would come to play." There should be a cricket stadium. It would continue to support the local boys who come to play here. They would remain committed to the sports and would not go astray into wrong company. "The city keeps changing. It was famous before and it can become even more famous. The sports hub could also provide more employment opportunities, even to people coming from outside." 31.32566 75.57598998 Jalandhar wgEZf4Q5EknLoERr8oCUmt Image_069.jpeg This place is important because I have been working here for many years. I don't know if I will be able to work from another place. I put up my shop here everyday. I would have to find another place for my shop then. I would miss this place a lot if I had to leave the place out of some compulsion. Wherever I go I will miss this place. "No matter where they relocate us, I don't know if business will be good there or not, but it will definitely be very far from here. I know that is what their plan is." There will be many changes under smart city. The traffic will be more controlled and we will be relocated. There will be better water supply. Everything will be affected. 31.1047134 77.173133 Shimla wVU1V559UH9ynAp1Ke9FPr Image_070.jpeg 31.3066702 75.5768848 Jalandhar wzxt24MtdGrsuNvUpDRfXu Image_071.jpeg This park is the best place where people can come morning and evening to enrich their health and their wealth. People take walks and refresh themselves. Many different people come here to enjoy the space and maintain their health. "I come in the morning around 7-7:30 in the morning and at the same time in the evening, and stay for about an hour each time." In the morning I am motivated to wake up on time because of the park and the opportunity to walk here. It would make me lazy if the park wasn't there and I would lose the opportunity to exercise and get some fresh air. "I feel happy. It is a peaceful place and many people come here. When we sit in our group and have our discussions, it makes time go by very quickly." "There is nothing more important than this place. People come here from all over the city, from many kilometres away. I doubt there is a better or bigger park in all of Jalandhar or even in all of Punjab." There are no signs of the smart city. I have no information on what they are making and where. Once we find out more we can discuss and make a decision on how we feel about it. 20.0057034 73.7935497 Nashik xycd2TboXLDhRsxCDAyNi7 Image_072.jpeg "The name of this temple is Naru Shankar Mahadev Mandir. This is called Naru shankar ghanta mandir as well, but this temple was made by Raja Maharaja Raj Bahadur. This temple's construction started in 1721. It took 12 years to complete the construction of this temple. But, in those days there was no cement, cream of milk, jagger that is eaten, lime that's used in Pan (betel leaves), by mixing that a thing like fevicol (adhesive) is created, mandir is built using that. But this mandir was built in Bajirao Peshvrao's era. During those days 18 lakh rupees were spent. But, Darshan of this mandir gives you the poonya (virtue) equivalent to the darshan of Rameshwaram, because Ram Bhagwan, after offering the pind daan (a hindu ritual performed after death) of his father Dasrath maharaj, sat here at this very place and worshiped Ishwar (God). He prayed in the name of his father and Suryanarayan (Sun god), because Ram worshiped Ishwar here that's why this is called Rameshwar." ... .at least... but here Sheshnag Maharaj is still alive ... ... "I have taken bath in a lot of rivers in India but taking bath in Godavari has given me a lot of benefits. Taking the dip in Godavari gives a lot of benefit in our karmakanda (rituals), whatever paap (sins) we do... we speak lies, that's erased very quickly, this Godavari is Paapnashini (once that destroys sins). " "When Goda ghat comes in my thoughts, I forget everything. I forget. It feels like Mother Godavari herself is present with me. When I take bath in her, I feel as if I am in the mother's lap. And, when I come out after taking bath, I forget everything. I get a new life... ... " "No, I want the same Godavari as it was before. How was my Godavari 350 I mean, how was my Godavari 25-30 years back? I want that same Godavari back. I don't want this fake Godavari. This looks duplicate. This does not look like Godavari to me. The Godavari in which I used to take bath in my childhood, it's not that Godavari. " "Its difficult... they can't make it... A horse can't change; human beings also can't change. And the government here is not right. Write it directly, if they file complaint about me, I have no problem with it, if they even catch and take me, I don't have an issue. Because smart market can't be made and old Godavari can not be brought back. This is duplicate Godavari."
