sector 15 Sonepat Haryana
its of the time we shifted to our new home..in newest development area sector-15. At the back of our home was a temple area in outskirt of the sector surrounded by a large patch of eucalyptus trees. every day,every evening we could hear roosting of these birds..so much loud... birds roosted and fly back to eucalyptus trees. it use to happen for at least 15 to 20 mins i think. we were so use to that roosting sound and literally it indicated sign of evening arriving to me as a child. No trees now because of urbanization and sector extension..infact houses stand on once a huge patch of euacalyptus trees... and temple too is surrounded by houses only.No trees...no more birds now...no more roosting sounds.. miss that old music...of birds roost... and that humble sign of dusk arriving...

sector-15 Sonepat Haryana
this was when i was in my class 8th/9th (Year 1997)... my school was at 1 km distance from my home and we use to walk to our school. i clearly remember those winter mornings, little fog and sunshine yawing out and amongst this beautiful morning everyday we use to see lots and lots and uncountable sparrows on electricity wires in line..sitting,chirping...it was such a pleasant and beautiful moment to see them everyday on our way to school. Now when i use to visit my home there are no more birds...on these wires...just one here or two there. dont know where there friends are...they left them for good or succumbed to human urbanization

Akshardham Temple caffetaria near light show premises Patparganj New Delhi Delhi
I knew this fact that sparrow nos. are decreasing as when i was pursuing my M.Sc. Zoology from kurukshetra university in 2003-2005 we were told by our research scholars of wildlife specialization but i didn't believed them as i was residing at sonipat (haryana) and during my weekend visits i used to see lots of sparrows at my home garden . i told research scholars that we have lot in sonipat and we feed them daily.he told that kurukshetra don't have any as they have been observing it from long time.
then years after years i saw their no. declining. only very few could now be seen in sonipat but i was happy too see them in akshardham temple near cafeteria close to light show premise eating on left overs of tables around. they were many...around 20 to 30. That day i again remembered how years back i saw them together in such a group...chirping...
i told this story of there decline to my husband too that day...it was 16th february,2012.
