They Called me a hero!

I was chilling out last night at my warm and cozy bedroom reading some stuff for my upcoming exam. I got a phone call from my cousin. "Hey Sandy please rush to our place! We just saw a snake in our prayer room! Dad says it looks poisonous". It was already 11pm in the night. I grabbed my torchlight and rushed to their house which is five minutes away from my home. Well my medical background always makes me ask the history! So I asked them - how do you know the snake is in the prayer room? Everybody pounced on me and said "we were watching our favorite soap on TV and our main door was open. We saw it quickly entering the room through the main door. I knew it was Common Krait. Did I tell you it was raining very heavily? Common kraits are known to enter the house when the door is open. It cant climb heights or come through the window. Uncle was right in telling it looked poisonous.
It is a neurotoxic snake which enters house for warmth inside kacha house and is comfortable under mats where people sleep. When people turn around in their sleep, it gets hurt and bites injecting venom. The worst part of Krait Bite is it produces local anaesthasia at bite site and person at sleep will not know about bite. Since it is a neurotoxic, person is found unconscious or dead next morning. Moral of whole story is DONOT SLEEP ON FLOOR WITH MAT where Kraits are common. Rather sleep on COT to avoid it. But it is practically difficult among poor people in rural India where they donot even have a pacca house! I entered the room cautiosly. I saw it moving around in the Pooja room. I soon remembered the words of my tutor. I used a long pipe and a gunny bag tied to its end and moved the pipe close to it. It entered the pipe from one end and reached the gunny bag on the other end. Once I made sure it was inside the gunny bag I tied the mouth of the bag and put in my uncle's mahindra jeep and left it on to the near by balikanna forest!! I bid good bye to the scared snake. It was scared looking at so many huge men, and noices and vibration.
Well when I got back I was all praises! They called me a hero!! It is just the knowledge and presence of mind made it easy for me to handle this! When I got back home it was 2 am and I was wondering that this was such a coincidence because I had just started this blog and I had an incident to share. But unfortunately I had no time or the presence if mind to click pictures to show you guys!
