One mid-summer day in May we
visited my dad’s best friend house in Red Hills (no, it isn't really a hill but
a place on the outskirt of Chennai), and despite scorching afternoon heat, we
had a cool ride in our a/c car along with cousins whose first day visit to our
home due to vacation. We took the Chennai bypass road to reach red hills though
Porur link road and it was first time for me to take this road after it built
some years ago. My dad’s friend built a new home there few years back, but I only
got to visit them now and he was very happy about my visit ahead his daughter’s
marriage. We spent an hour and some at their home until dawn fall and it was
fabulous sight to see sun rays falling beneath the clouds.
They stay very close and right
opposite road to the red hill lake - which is one main drinking water resource
of Chennai. During my early visit while they rented there, I checked the red hill
lake and got amazing view on sunset. But this time due to heat and lack of time
I couldn't repeat it, rather we had some other interesting to check with their house
and surrounding. They installed a color changing ceiling lamp on their living
room and it attracts every one with different hues while changing with remote. The
collage above will explain the rest, how wonderful and delightful the exchange
of colors.
The house opposite to theirs hold
number of Turkeys and they were set freely to wander and climb on wherever they
could. One was standing on a bike and
others on compound wall; it was cute to see chicks following the mother turkeys.
Interestingly there were this two turkeys doing similar action side by side while
feeding on ground, leave at surprise. I also brought home one of their feathers
wonderfully formed in combo of black, white, grey and brown. I used to hear
from my uncle early about this house, having number of dogs turning the entire area
into horror, glad their desire turned towards turkeys which are quiet and colorful.
I hope you all liked the photos here.

Wow that ceiling lamp is quite amazing!! I want one haha. That turkey chic is adorable. Happy Day Jeevan.
these are beautiful photos! enjoyed the turkeys and the chick and the feather! like the color shifts in the light. but REALLY loved that sunset!
The turkey feather is beautiful :) BTW, I too want to go to the Redhills lake during sunrise/sunset. It is easily accessible from my house (due to the by-pass flyover). I know the lake is a beautiful sight because I studied in a college near that area. But I feel sunrise/sunset might be more beautiful :)
