× It is located nearby the capital city of Delhi.

✓ It is located near the capital city of Delhi.

The preposition 'nearby' is an adverb and should not be used before a noun. The correct preposition to use before a noun like 'the capital city' is 'near'. Use 'near' to indicate proximity to a place.

× It is just 15 minutes drive from the Delhi airport.

✓ It is just a 15-minute drive from the Delhi airport.

When expressing duration as a compound adjective before a noun, use the singular form with a hyphen, e.g., '15-minute drive'. Also, include the article 'a' before the expression.

× I like I like the food and culture a lot about my hometown.

✓ I like the food and culture a lot about my hometown.

The phrase 'I like' is repeated unnecessarily. Removing the duplicate improves clarity and correctness.

× People in my hometown wear traditional clothes like dhoti kurta and they eat traditional food which I am a very fond of.

✓ People in my hometown wear traditional clothes like dhoti kurta and they eat traditional food of which I am very fond.

The phrase 'which I am very fond of' is informal and ends with a preposition. The more formal and grammatically correct form is 'of which I am very fond'.

× I lived there from my birth because I was born and brought up in the city where I have lived most of my life.

✓ I have lived there since my birth because I was born and brought up in the city where I have lived most of my life.

The phrase 'from my birth' is incorrect; 'since my birth' is the correct expression to indicate the starting point of a period continuing to the present. Also, 'I lived there' suggests a completed action, but the context implies ongoing residence until recently, so present perfect 'I have lived' is appropriate.

× Recently I have I moved to Gurgaon, but before that I was living in my hometown.

✓ Recently I have moved to Gurgaon, but before that I was living in my hometown.

There is an extra 'I' in 'I have I moved'. Removing the extra pronoun corrects the sentence. Also, 'have moved' is correct for recent action with present relevance.

× Yes, my hometown is a very important and a good place for young people because there are many schools and colleges in my area which provide a very good education to kids and there are a lot of playgrounds to do physical activities for the kids.

✓ Yes, my hometown is a very important and good place for young people because there are many schools and colleges in my area which provide very good education to kids and there are a lot of playgrounds for physical activities for the kids.

The phrase 'a very important and a good place' is redundant; remove the second article 'a' before 'good place'. Also, 'to do physical activities' is awkward; 'for physical activities' is more natural. Additionally, 'a very good education' can be simplified to 'very good education' for smoother flow.
