Rat hunting & sneak O snake

Having brought up in a village , i was quite familiar with snakes, scorpions, lizards and the rats as they used to visit   my house often. Couple of days back an interesting incident happened, when i was in a deep sleep. At around 1, i woke up to find my room door ajar. I have a problem with the bolt as it was br0ken (thanks to shankar for breaking my door). Then i got up and bolted the door and checked the things up in my room and went back to sleep. But again i woke up becos of some noise inside the room. The noise was made by an empty plastic cover which was lying on the ground. I then saw a rat moving inside the room.  It  just sneaked in when the door was open some minutes back. As i tried to get it out of my room it just jumped on to my table , sitting pretty next to my laptop and looking at me as if saying do whatever u can . I was horrified at the site and i could see the glowing eyes of the rat staring at me in the dark. I got into action immediately,switched on the lights and went on a  hunting spree for the rat . My room is messed up with lot of things as some of my friends dumped their stuffs in my room. So after searching for half an hour, i lost my energy and thought of dealing with the rat the next morning. But the rat made my sleep miserable by making sounds or knocking down something in my room. Finally, the next day as i woke up, i kept looking for the rat but to no avail. Then later that afternoon, my uninvited friend, just sneaked out from its secret hideout. This time i took the help of my doctor friend to get the rat out of my room. Before that evening, while on my way to chilkur, a 6.5 feet green snake just ran in fornt of our bike. My firend who was riding it, screamed, shouted and put his legs on the handle..I was shocked to see his reactions as he was doing some kind of circus.. then i saw the fluroscent green snake running behind us. Oh... both of us were down on the road and it took us 10 minutes to recover from the shock. My friend was shivering as he was driving the bike...I have seen many snakes in my house over the years and once a snake was having its(  frog) lunch happily in one of the roof of our house. we waited for the guest to finish its lunch..I could clearly see the snake swallowing the frog right to its stomach.. It was there for over an hour and then it left the place. Actually both the incidents happened the same day , the snake incident in the evening followed by the rat entry. In fact, when the rat entered, i thought it was a snake as the thought of the snake was fresh in my mind. I was quite relieved to find out it was just a rat.
