| Q11. Would you like to share a story about House Sparrows from this time period? | We shifted to a new campus in Dwarka, New Delhi during the final year of our college. it was an area that was still not so much exploited and commercialized and exploited for residential purposes. the surroundings included another university, law college etc and plenty of green cover which housed a variety of plant species that weren't usually seen in other parts of the city.We also saw (and many times got scared too) different strange varieties of insects such as multicolored hoppers. There sparrows were spotted frequently during the rikshaw ride from college to sector 14 metro station. We could notice them because of their sweet chirping sound. Hope with increasing human habitation in that area, their survival don't face any kind of threat.
