I can make snakes dance by playing the
beam I have learned this art from my
family members we people are known as
kalbeliyas my grandfather Roshan not ji
was famous amongst our people he could
easily catch many poisonous snakes he
tells me many stories about his past
from the time of my grandfather and
great-grandfather we have always been
superiors snakes have been an important
part of our life we used to move from
village to village carrying our snakes
in bamboo baskets whenever we stopped in
a village a crowd would gather around us
we would then take out our snakes from
our baskets and show them to public even
after the show people would stay on they
knew that in our tin box there were many
types of medicines for them we made
these medicines from plants collected
from the forests I had learned all this
from my grandfather
I felt nice that I could help people
with my medicines even if doctors and
hospitals were far off in return people
would give us some money or food drains
in this way we could manage our life
sometimes I was called to places where
someone had been bitten by a snake
from the marks of the bite I try to find
out which snake had bitten the person I
would then give a medicine for that but
I have not always been on time to help
as you know some snake bites can even
cause death on the spot but most of the
snakes are not poisonous
sometimes when some farmers would come
running for help
shouting snake snake I would catch that
snake after all catching snakes was
something I had been doing since my
childhood oh those were the good days we
could help a lot of people in many ways
we also entertained them it was not like
today when everyone watches TV for
entertainment when I grew older my
father taught me how to remove their
poisonous teeth he also taught me how to
close the tube of poison in the snake's
mouth
