Pythander : The Plucky Python

In the heart of a hectic city, where skyscrapers reached for the stars and the streets full of citylights there lived a python named Pythander. Unlike his fellow pythons in the wild, Pythander had his home in the forgotten corners of the urban landscape. 

Pythander possessed a unique gift : The power of hypnotism. Pythander had the power to hypnotize those who gazed into his alluring eyes,  bending their will to his own. But despite his hypnotical abilities, he had a deep sense of loneliness, yearning for connection in a world that often seemed indifferent to his presence. 

One night it so happened that when everyone was a sleep beneath the blanket of stars, Pythander sensed danger lurking in the darkness. He slowly started to head towards the area where he sensed danger. 

As he entered into a dimly lit street, he saw a small girl who was kidnapped by a kidnapper. Pythander slowly went towards the kidnapper and in the blink of an eye, he coiled himself around the legs of the kidnapper, sending him crashing to the ground with a startled cry. The knife in the kidnapper's hand clattered to the pavement as Pythander tightened his grip. His hypnotic gaze made the kidnapper to go into a trance-like state. 

As the threat neutralized, Pythander went towards the girl and made her ease herself. Soon her parents came searching for her and as soon as the girl saw them she ran towards them and hugged them. Watching this Pythander had tears of joy in his eyes. By the time the girl saw him, Pythander slowly disappeared in the shadows of the night. 

But the night was not yet over for the Pythander. As he made his way through the city, he encountered another soul in need of his aid. 

This time a jewellery shop owner was surrounded by three goons with guns in their hands. As the lights were dim, the police who reached there were also unable to save the jewellery shop owner from the goons. 

Pythander saw this and he went near the goons. As soon as he got an opportunity, he coiled himself around the legs of the three goons at a time, sending their heads to hit the ground. As they fell down, the police jumped in the scenario and arrested all the three goons. 

The jewellery shop owner saw something slithering away in the dark. Somewhere, he knew that the slithering thing has helped him. He expressed his gratitude towards the unlikely hero who had come to his rescue. 

As first light of dawn cast its warm embrace over the city, Pythander disappeared into the shadows once again. His heart was filled with fulfillment. Though his actions had gone unnoticed by most, he knew that he had made a difference in lives of people whom he saved, proving that even the most unlikely heroes can emerge from darkness to bring light to the world. Cheers to all such heroes.

The Traveller and His Pet Bird

Once there was a traveller, who liked to travel a lot.  He wanted to go to every corner of the world and has almost covered traveling half of the world.

Wherever he used to go he used to take his pet bird with him. He travelled many places and wherever he used to go he used to take selfie with his camera and used to send them to his friends and relatives. He enjoyed traveling. 

He went to many places like Eiffel Tower (Paris), Leaning tower of Pisa (Italy), Pyramids of Giza (Egypt), Tajmahal (India), etc,. He went to all these places with his pet bird and he almost covered each and every corner of the world. 

As the days passed by, the traveller became old and stopped travelling. He was very much contented with travelling part of his life, as he enjoyed it thoroughly. 

As he was happy with the travelling part of his life, he wanted to know how his pet bird felt about all these days of travelling to various thrilling, adventurous and exotic places they have been through. So, he asked his pet bird how it felt. The pet bird with its sorrowful voice said,"What is the use, you always kept me in a cage".

THE DAYDREAMER

Again, Mintu starts day dreaming in the middle of the class. In his dream, he is a hero who is saving a girl from being teased by the street rowdies. He is fighting with three to four rowdies at a time. His one kick is making them fly in the air and fall on the ground like a football. His punch on their faces is making their faces wiggle in slow motion. He defeated everyone in the street fight and he headed towards the girl, went on his knees and started proposing the girl with flowers. Everything was going fine, but suddenly a huge asteroid from nowhere fell on him. He shook his head and found out that it was not an asteroid, it was a blackboard duster which was thrown on him by his teacher. Now he realised that he was not on a street, fighting with bad guys, but was in his classroom. He rubbed his head and thanked God that it was just a duster and not an asteroid. 

"Hey, Mintu are you day dreaming again, stand up on the bench till the end of my class", said the teacher. After a few minutes, the bell rang and recess started. Mintu along with his friends went to the school playground and started playing volleyball. After playing for a while he got tired. He then went and sat under a tree. 

While watching volleyball, he started day dreaming again. Now he is a pirate, who is fighting with his rival pirates. He is fighting with swords and guns and everything that he gets in his hands. He killed all of his rivals and headed towards the captain of the rival pirates. He started attacking him, the captain of the rival pirates was unable to defend his attack and finally got killed. Mintu was happy on killing him and he raised his sword as a sign of victory, but suddenly a huge Cannonball hit him on his head and he woke up from his dream. The Cannonball which hit him was nothing but the volleyball which the kids were playing during the recess. 

The school bell rang and Mintu along with other children went to his classroom. The class started and his daydreaming also started. His teacher was explaining about the oceans, now guess where his daydreaming took him to................ 

He was in the middle of an ocean on a huge ship. He, along with his girlfriend were standing on the ship with their hands spread apart. They were enjoying the moment but suddenly a huge iceberg from nowhere hit the ship. The ship broke into two parts and people started falling in the ocean. These two also fell in ocean, but luckily they were able to find a wooden piece that was floating on water. They went towards it and Mintu helped his girlfriend in getting on that wooden piece. As the water was cold, Mintu told his girlfriend with a shivering voice that, "my love, you are the most beautiful and the slimmest girl I've ever seen in my life. The wooden piece that you are on HAS ENOUGH PLACE FOR BOTH OF US, THEN WHY ARE YOU OCCUPYING THE WHOLE PLACE, MOVE ASIDE". She startled and moved aside at once and gave him space to sit on it. Just within a few minutes a rescue team came from a nearby place and took them to their city. As soon as he lands in the city everyone around him starts clapping. In the crowd, he hears someone calling his name Mintu.... Mintu.... HEY MINTU. He got petrified and woke up from his dream and saw his teacher calling him. She said, "Miiiintuuuuuu, are you daydreaming again? Come on stand up on the bench". 

He stood up on the bench and after a few minutes the school's last bell rang and everyone left for their houses. 

This used to happen daily in the school and he used to have different dreams daily. Even at his home he used to see different kinds of dreams. 

To know what were his dreams at school and at home, please let me know through the comment section so that if the comments surpass more than 100 then I'll post the next blog on this day dreamer, till then bye n have fun.....!!!!!
