So, we discover another kind of snake in Mumbai- -the kind who cheats on his wife. You've written a decent poem here, mainly because it's interesting, unusual, and maybe even a little off-beat.

Yes, this version of the story sounds quite sweet and more probable! With IT industry flourishing in India, most of the IT professionals lead a rather comfortable life! Hope Manu's and Elsa's friendship will fruition into a life long relationship! Great rhyming as ever!
