4th November 2008. A phone call came in the Raktim’s mobile phone. Raktim Das is the General Secretary of BFI. The person informed Raktim that a snake entered in there room. He requested Raktim to rescue the snake. He also said it seems a poisonous snake and that people was trying to kill the snake.
It was nothing new for the Raktim. He rescues over 100 poisonous and nonpoisonous snakes before that. After receive the call Raktim and one of his associates went there. The place calls Hosenpure. Near to kolkata. They took their hand made snake stick.
After reaching the place Raktim found there were a big crowed who is preparing to kill the snake. First Raktim asked the people to live the place and let him work. The people were in fear, shaken and in mass historic situation.
Raktim saw the snake and identified. It was Russell Viper. This is a highly poisonous snake. The snake was injured. With all previous experience Raktim knew that this was a dangerous situation.
People were shouting to Raktim for bring the snake in under control.
Raktim almost made the job done. Suddenly the snake turn bake and bit Raktim. It happen so rapid that an expert like Raktim couldn’t make him escape. It was paining. Raktim understood that immediately he should be hospitalized. But he can’t go with out rescue the snake.
He rescued the snake. Put the snake in safe box. Time was going on. The hospital was some kilometers away. Raktim knew that some more time could take his life. He asked for a car but it might take some more time.
Raktim started his bike. It was paining allover the body. He had to ride the bike till to the hospital. In middle of the rode it seemed impossible for him to ride the bike. But he had to go to save his own life.
You may think it is like a Hollywood movie. But believe my friend sometime real life is 100 times more adventurous then a movie.
The treatment started. The members of BFI came to the hospital. No one knew whether his or her favorite leader would survive or not. All local and national media gathered in the hospital. But the situation of Raktim was going out of the control.
Government and local authority was trying there best. Political leaders, social activists, doctors were doing what they can. But Rokitm got in paralyses.
After using 25 ampoules of PVS and number of dialysis Raktim came out of risk. After spending 12 days in ICU Raktim became in normal life.
But does Raktim and his associates care about that? No. Not after a week form relishing hospital Raktim and his friends went another rescue operation. The associates of BFI are doing the same thing each and every day. They are fighting to save snake, snake charmers and nature
