Even snakes are afraid of snakes !

 

A long serpentine  (snake melghat) animal is a snake. Though our hearts start to throb at the sight of snake, we are always curious about its pristine beauty and it's radiating skin. Maybe Hollywood, Bollywood, or local film industry; all are enticed magical spell of myths, folklores, superstitions of snake. But when this serpentine snake coiled into the human residence, lot of termoil is provoked into the area. In this chaos snake-friends run for help.

 

 

 

When we were on Melghat (snake melghat)  study tour, met two such idiosyncratic snake friends: Nilesh Wankhade and Vilas Salame. It was very thrilling experience, told by Nilesh, of three cobras made me shiver down the spine. Then I realised how these snake-friends are essential to protect the snakes which are important part of our ecosystem. But today this snake was making people Rock and Roll with fear and excitement. But Ujjainkar family and people around their home understood the seriousness of the situation and called Nilesh Wankhade. Understanding gravity, Nilesh reached there immediately and caught the cobra skillfully.

 

 

But the real amusement (snake melghat)  is here ahead. Seizing snake is not a child's play. Tackling the matter very delicately Nilesh caught the cobra at near about 6 o'clock. He went back to his home, took dinner and was about to lie when, his phone rang. There was a call that another cobra at RFO office is found... Nilesh's eyes widened after listening to this news of second Cobra's appearance within a time of three hours. He rushed there and with the proper care and patience took cobra at his disposal. It was 10:30 pm, he was totally tired and wanted rest. But his herculean task of arresting Cobra was not yet over, since he had third call. He reached there along with his companions and employed his special knack to grab third cobra. Whenever the snake enters into the residential area people are prone to kill them out of fear and forget the snake is an assest of nature and should be protected. Though the people from Melghat fear snakes they don't kill them since they understand the value of natural wealth. So they call Nilesh Wankhade to rscue snakes & relieve them into their natural dwelling. Rural people are more concerned about snakes than literate urbans.
