I had recently gone to a nature trek on the banks of River Trail near Roha on the Mumbai-Goa highway. The river is not that great but its big enough considering the fact the water level is controlled by a dam. It was a 2-day retreat from the monotonous life of a software engineer.

There was a snake show(not a madari(snake charmer) kinda show). He is the one who is researching in this field and gives seminars to doctors about toxicology. The snake show helped us clear some of our myths about snakes and the importance of snakes in the ecosystem. But as the saying goes "You can take the horse to the water but cannot make it drink". You can give n number of seminars to people but finally its upto them to totally drag out the fear from them. Actually he made us feel a snake which doesn't bite even when someone steps on it. But still if I see that snake again, I don't think so I will be going ahead and feeling the snake.



Some rappelling activity.
