Poosalu Gengu Street now known as Gengu Street Egmore Chennai Tamil Nadu
I really feel fortunate that I can catch a glimpse of these birds in my own locality -even when I run mundane errands for my mother like getting a pack of milk or buying a bunch of mint leaves!! I enjoy watching their mud-baths and listening to their chirping.And I feel many times blessed that I live in such proximity with House Sparrows ,especially on the occasion of this World Sparrow Day!! I have plans to fix up a few feeders and boxes and spread awareness in the street where I live.

Podhigai Nagar CB Colony Sivaganga Tamil Nadu
My Cousin name is Marimuthu, he is living there. He noticed a Sparrow started coming every day and making sounds. He put some seeds/rice for the sparrow. Afterwards the sparrow started coming frequently, and then coming along with her loved one. The one fine day they family noticed there was nest they started building up. My cousin family did not disturb them and they also provided food and water near by nest so that they can easily reachable. Now the sparrow has kids and they all living together as Family. Wonderful moments.

Sector C-9 Vasant Kunj Delhi
In Vasant Kunj, and generally in Delhi, I have stopped seeing sparrows and swallows. Maybe pigeons are hardier, so have survived.
Many years back, we had hired a driver to drive us outside of Delhi to attend a function. While crossing Dhaula Kuan flyover, to my horror, the driver ran my car over a mynah hopping on the flyover!!! The fact that a mynah appeared from nowhere, onto the flyover, itself shows how much man has expanded into open spaces. While I winced at what had happened, the driver didn't even flinch. When I reprimanded him, he merely said, "uski kismat!" His 'kismat' will also catch up with him!
Where will all this mindless and insensitive development, where mass produced, lead to, when our biodiversity has less than halved in the last 40 years?!!?
On World Sparrow Day today, let us heed the chirping of the sparrow to remind ourselves that man's greed is killing us and we need to slow down and introspect on our actions in paving and concretising every space that nature has given us!

I used to see sparrows in this area before 6 months. But nothing is now. All gone.
