A 'Hiss'story
Going by the name you must have reaalised who I am. And for all those who didnt, Hi, I'm snake. No no, please don’t be scared of me, I’m already associated with so many gloomy and nasty things which I'm sick of hearing, sans the sacred association with the Lord Shiva. According to many, I’m a wild, brutal living being with the sole goal of killing other living beings but it’s for my food, that's how I survive, although I know some of my brothers on the earth exhibit their criminal nature for no reason, they are terrorist killings, just like the human terrorism.
I was happy living in my forest, living in my habitat, among my kind of people before you guys captured our lands under various crazy names called SEZs and Development Lands and what not. My home is gone now. Where am I supposed to live? Looks like my population is lot lesser than you humans’ population. If that's the case, I'll tell my brothers and sisters to be on their ‘job’ of 'helping' in maintaining a balanced state between the births and deaths. They will be too happy to do it, especially the aforementioned terrorising clan!
Well, the reason I have come out talking about all of this is because recently my brother was flashed onto those TV sets and newspapers, as you humans call it, for just coming out in public. I mean, isn't that obvious? He came out coz he needed fresh air, which, thanks to you guys, has been snatched away from us. He's harmless little kid, mooning around(or slithering around, as we would) trying to know the world. And unfortunately he got stuck in one of those flying objects called helicopter of one of the most important persons in the state of AP, the Chief Minister himself. He told me that he was just fascinated with the flying machine which he didn’t know that it could fly and he also explained how he was scared out of his wits when there were flashlights all around him, which he later realised all that hullabaloo was because he had accidentally stumbled upon the flying object.
Well, I came to know that my brother was taken to Nehru Zoological Park for scrutiny, to know from which clan he belonged to- the terrorising clan or the non-terrorising clan. Poor fellow, he doesn't even know the difference between these two. And seems that the police of the state had actually submitted a kind of document containing details of his nature and origin and what not. As if they didnt have a more productive work to attend to. But he doesn’t know that the one of the duties of the police is to do such 'productive work'. Of course they have to know where the snake came from, the oppositions would shout at each other and accuse the poor policemen for providing such an appalling security to such an important person. True, he is important. He’s a human being too. But hey, I never saw these things happening when my terrorising brothers were out in those fields of the farmers killing them, lots and lots of them. No flashlights on those brothers, nothing. They are not even bothered about. But they bothered my harmless kid.
Well, the moral of the story is- It’s not who you kill, it’s who you terrorise!
