I used to see these sparrows every day. They are my alarm clocks. I have taken some good photos of them too. One example here: http://thyperspective.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/cuteness-of-a-sparrow/

I fondly remember watching the tiny sparrows tirelessly build their little cosy nests at the corners of the curtain rods at home. They fluttered about with tiny twigs and thin pieces of cotton in their beaks. I remember my family being very sparrow friendly and almost sparrow crazy! We had little coconut shells with water and rice grains strewn in the balcony for the birds. It was the loveliest sight to see the sparrows try to wash themselves in the water kept for them to drink! My family still nostalgically talks of the days when sparrows were a regular sight around homes and we still earnestly report to one another when we spot sparrows else where! :)

the sparrows are now afraid of human beings.
earlier we used to throw flour and seeds; they would come out in dozens, esp. in the evenings.
but over the period of five years, their courage to come out near people has fallen drastically.
the major reasons are deforestation, air pollution and noise of the traffic on the highway which has grown manifold within a few years. we all know the congested roads are an outcome of the financing schemes of vehicles.
other major force acting against peaceful survival of sparrows, honey bees, bats and doves etc. is the high rate of radiations of the mobile phones with dense network of transmitting towers installed everywhere.
these towers, installed at highest points in the localities have become watch towers for the killer birds like eagles, kites, falcons, etc. to catch the sparrows and doves and other birds. this discourages the innocent birds from coming out of the few trees they find to hide in.

I usually see sparrows during my morning walk, and it really make me happy. To see them jumping n walking here n there.
