I was returning to hostel from home. My mother and grandfather joined my journey to the city. My grandfather was talking politics with me in the bus. When I reached palayam I got out of the bus and said bye to my folks. I could see Arun Suresh from the gate itself. He seldom goes to home. He always stayed back at hostel. He was walking on the banks of a little stream near the hostel. I approached him and found he was searching something. I found electronic components scattered all over the place. Those were our phone chargers , lap tops and etc we kept in the hostel rooms. Most of them were broken. I asked Arun about it and he said coach ( our warden) did this. More and more inmates came and everybody searched their belongings from those mess. I also searched for my charger and found it broken. All of a sudden, coach appeared to the scene and drew everyone inside and called me to his office. I went to his office and he asked me to make a few decorations for upcoming hosteler's day. We friends gathered together and went for a trip. We were walking through roads with forest on both sides. Gradually we started transforming into snakes one by one. I became a garden snake. We could see ourselves as snakes moving through the roads as we were watching us from behind. On the way back I again transformed into a king cobra. As we reached home the snakes disappeared. While we were talking with my mother, a few yellow snakes came by( they were some of my friends who hadn't transformed back yet.)
