Today (6th September' 2007), a snake was found hiding very near Meenakshi Sundaram's table. An initial round of discussions between Sahu, myself, Meenakshi Sundaram, NVC, and Sanjay led to the conclusion that it is indeed a snake, which in its coiled up state seemed to be a big sized worm :-)
While we were ruminating the next step, in came Raghavan & Sridhar. The latter was more for sending it up, while the former was hell-bent on catching it & leave it in wilderness (which we have aplenty behind CMPL).
Armed with a thick pair of gloves, Raghavan managed to lure it inside a deep plastic container that Sahu gave. Subsequently a team of CMPL people, led by Raghavan, took it to MSD main building for exhibiting it to various people there. Majority of the people opined that it is a Krait (poisonous variety).
The video and photos that you are seeing in this blog site were taken by me after the snake was safely inside the container. After sometime, the snake was let off by Raghavan & Sridhar behind CMPL. (CLICK ON IMAGES BELOW TO SEE ENLARGED VERSION)

Nice shoot !! Indeed nice to see..
Indeed a good shoot !!
Dear Subbi, Very impressive collaborative work. Atleast one photograph is excellent and the Video (perhaps of her as so many men were obviously interested!)is excellent. At the same time somewhat chilling as well more due to traditional mindset. I hope the let off in wild creature does not find the MEG lab as a safe haven. There are many hiding spots in the MEG lab including the one in which I usually hide. Well done on the whole-- TSR

Hi TSR...thanks for your comments. This was the best I could do with a cybershot camera. Do not worry about the reptile entering MEG lab. Raghavan can be called to catch it :-)
