Six year old Shwetha ran to her mother. “Mummy, there is a
snake near the tap. I shut the door of the bathroom. It is inside.”
“Oh, no. I’ll call the watchman,” she told her daughter and
dialled on the intercom. “Security, there is a huge poisonous snake in our
bathroom. Come immediately.”
The security told his supervisor. “There are 2-3 huge cobras
in Flat 908. Call the snake catcher immediately.”
The supervisor called the snake catcher on his mobile. “Please
come immediately. Lots of huge poisonous cobras have entered an apartment here.”
The snake catcher, with his full paraphernalia, along with a
troop of others, entered the apartment. Shwetha and her mother huddled in a
corner. He cocked his ear to the closed bathroom door, to find out where the
snake could be. Then, he opened the door gingerly. The black thread, which
holds her mother’s pyjama to her waist, lay coiled around in a corner.
