When I first heard that ISB has a jungle around it and has a healthy ecosystem with snakes, scorpion, etc., I seriously thought to myself "shit...where the hell have I come." Last time, I probably saw a snake or scorpion just roaming around was when I was living in India (10 years old or younger). Even when I used to visit back, seeing these creatures was my biggest fear.
Today, the fear remains.
Even worst, every time it's dark outside and I have to walk around, I only pray and stare at the road ahead. I pray that I don't see a snake or scorpion. Just now, coming back I forgot to do the normal routine and was talking casually. Right then, saw my teammate stopped back and was staring back. He was staring at a dead scorpion. He was evaluating whether it was dead or not. Consequently I had just passed in front of the scorpion not even realizing. Soooo glad it was dead.
Even while taking the above picture, I was scared to get close.... oh gosh! Just praying...nothing else for tonight. Good night, World!
