INDIANS still charming snakes

recently i went for the volunteer orientation of an NGO. they deal in a lot of things, including helping ppl whose homes have burnt down...in Arizona, the heat induces fires to spread quickly, n since all homes here are made of wood , n linoleum, its like houses can be razed to the ground in minutes. So anyway, there was this lady describing to us one of their recent cases, where they had to rush to a house. the lady occupant had 6 kids, n 23 snakes. She was a snake lover. And she seemed more worried abt what wud happen to the snakes rather than her kids. So this lady conducting the class said, usually while dealing with pets stranded in homes, we get people who know how to deal with them. So in this case, I would probably call.....( and her she looks straight at me across the room, and says) Nithya, to come and charm the snakes.

I was AMAZED...60 yrs on Independence, giant strides in industry, software, IT, and some ppl here still think we go around charming snakes!!!!!! N then we were told how to be impartial towards ppl of different natioanlities, religions etc, !!! comic, isnt it?????
