Do snakes have OCD?

Indian Rat Snake

Sneak-Peak! How often do we peek into others life?
I say we rarely peek into our own life.
We live for others.

On a dry sultry Sunday evening, after a refreshing dip from the revitalizing waters of kadakwasla dam, I encountered a miracle. An elegant miracle, that appears only in Television.

I lowered my car window and peeked out to witness what stole the spotlight.

It was a big golden brown snake.

So elegant and stylish, immediately I said to myself “GO FASHIONABLY KADAK”.
Never mind, just a blend of kadakwasla dam and a style tag line. It comes with my job. (Copywriter)

Like a spectator awestruck by awesomeness, I followed it for 30 seconds. It was the most enticing 30 seconds of my life.
Well,
There used to be a saying that a snake can follow you wherever you go. But, in my case it was quite opposite. I was following it.

To define it as a person, this snake was the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Her golden complexion , gentle bends and curvy movements can make any man go crazy.
She carried an attitude, which made men move behind her movements.

Quite a chic right?
After 30 seconds she just ignored me and vanished behind bushes.

But, men are men.
Being pulled and mesmerized by sheer beauty, they give up.
They become a victim every time they meet pretty women.

Is it the law of nature?

No, it’s OCD. (Obsessive-compulsive disorder)
Every living being has OCD. It symbolizes through patterns. The groovy movements of the snake unveiled my passion to notice unnoticeable things.

We all have a set of principles, character and distinct way of dealing things which makes us unique. Over several years, we nurture an obsession for our actions and create a compulsion to pursue it.

Well, as we all know, its what we do that defines us and not who we are.  So, every action has a pattern and every pattern has a style. So OCD is a style statement.
And this obsession and compulsion characterize who we are. 

Oh yeah, I got my answer now. 
Snakes do have OCD.
