We had an unusual guest amidst the chaos of the impending marriage in our house. A 3'6" snake entered my brother's house and was taking an afternoon siesta under the center table, when my brother's wife noticed him while searching for something in the heap of papers lying on the bottom rack of the center table. She screamed at top of her voice and ran out. We were busy in packing for our Indore trip. Initially I thought that some thing abnormal has happened in the kitchen. As we ran down and out, we were informed that it was a snake who had created the panic. Luckily, she had shut the main door while coming out. So we were sure the snake was still inside the house only. None of us had the guts to enter inside the house and do some thing, as none of us exactly knew what and how to go about the task of overcoming him.
We contacted fire brigade and took the contact details of the Sarp Mitra ( Firend of Snakes ) in our area. To our great and pleasant surprise both, the fire brigade and the Sarp Mitra, were in our house in less than 10 minutes. They were fully equipped for the task and had the necessary tools as they entered the house. They searched the drawing hall and finally located him perched on the sofa, under the cushions. Probably he had a good lunch and had been really looking for an afternoon siesta.
Poor creature. He was not destined to have all that luxury. Soon the Sarp Mitra literally caught him by his tail and pushed him in a gunny bag. Gone was the creature in no time, who created panic a little while ago
Both The agencies finished the official documentation and were gone in no time, after the thanks giving formalities were over.
" Hats off " to both the agencies for their machine like efficiency. It was probably our first positive experience of government machinery.
