I have not seen House Sparrows in Delhi, India.

They used to make their nests in my room. Sometime they got killed by ceiling fan. Later they never entered in the room. Their nests also disappered.

I usually see House Sparrows daily in my House garden, we spread grains for them, they collect there to pick and eat them.

I feed them moori (moora in hindi maybe; basically fried rice grains puffed white). They can spot these from a distance and come to our windows to feed. However, they are shy and fly away as soon as a human comes closer.

Luckily the road (galli) in our para has not be concretised or made pucca with bitumen/coal tar. It is still a kaccha lane. I believe this contributes to their hunting ground for small insects.

They are mostly spotted when the sun is low in the sky i.e. morning or evening.

There are some trees in and around our locality and they perch there.

Also many houses in our locality have plants in our terraces. The mud/soil pots holding the plants also serve as feeding places as I noted couple of times in the evening.

Sparrows were constantly hopping in and out of the house and backyard especially during the nesting season. They used to make nests even inside the house in the ceiling fan holder. We used to feed them with small bits of chapati and water. In case we used to forget to fill their bowl of water or provide them chapati pieces, they used chirp at their loudest and create a racket, we used to really enjoy that.
