Run # 284 The Shangrila Run

I tell you BH 3 is indeed on Viagra!! A resolution has just been passed to import an ice berg from Alaska to accommodate new comers for future runs. Also, the target market of piss pot manufacturers has shifted from hospitals to Hash clubs across the country.

While this might sound a bit of an exaggeration, you will certainly find an element of truth if you chew upon this:

No. of Tees arranged for this hash         :           78

Day’s turnout                                        :           86

This leaves 8 hashers starved off their hash rights. The marked distinction between the “haves” and the “have-nots” were easily noticeable by the inverted “U” that these children of lesser Gods wore on their faces that day.

Talking about Tees’ you just gotta give it to our Hash Fash Butki and our sponsors. These blacks with a dash of pigeon perched yellow were enough to spark a riot that day. Fortunately, we hashers are a bunch of docile peace loving cannibals so the situation was much under control. BTW, don’t forget to tune into FTV’s latest summertime collection where Butki is seen taking center stage at Milan.

Coming back, our hosts had parked a generous animal shed for all of us. The pre-run scenario witnessed a cheerful interaction as the veterans did a bloody good job to ensure the sea of newcomers were at ease.

Found in flirtatious form was Naresh “Hairy Fairy” who left no stone unturned in wooing the luscious Lucia. Thankfully, this time, he did not do his usual striptease to flaunt his limited edition body. Don’t blame me for not capturing Lucia – It was Chris with the lens that day. Also not worth missing, was the quite sensation Darina, who was causing heads to turn that day.  One has reason to believe that Chris is not straight. A piece of advice Chris, in the wake of the liberal laws in the New York City, you may want to shift your head quarters there J

While the likes of Racing snake were warming up for the run, there was a bunch of us who were simply more interested in cooling our eyes.

In a welcome change, this hash saw the roaring comeback of Mayyar “Horny Gorilla” who was hibernating and had caved in for quite a while. For quite some time this growling animal had been a peripheral observer for reasons best know to mystery. In a surprise development, when he was pronounced the lead hare for the next run, he kept insisting that he wanted to go solo with the chalk. – But Rambo Bawa, “Aim Nathi Thaitu “– Besides, where is all your team sprit gone. ….. Neways it’s good to have you back in action Gorilla.

The shepherds (Anders, Alka, Rohit, Deepak Sagar, Poonam and the little Anush) had done a job worth a praise. As the run began, they led us religiously to explore the backland of Shangrila. As we sniffed our way through the chalk mark, we discovered that these over enthusiastic hares had trisected the run into the short run, the short long run and the long run. The stretch was this abruptly chiseled piece of land thereby making it a perfect turf for hash adventures. The tryst with nature lasted for about 90 minutes with no major event to speak off during the trail. This bought us back to our shed as we wasted no time to bathe our selves with the horse piss (with due apologies to Castle beer). On the other side of the rope, the kids were on a roll as they invited themselves to the rides our sponsors had arranged for. This was indeed a temptation even for us onlookers. On this side, the momentum was building up at a steady pace. The yellow social liquid flowed freely to facilitate and ensure that the conversations were restricted only to informal mindless topics. (Just a piece of don’ts for the newcomers and opportunist hashers, the rules do not permit us to use this gathering as a platform for promoting business activities. So talking shop and exchanging business cards is an absolute “NO” “NO” !!)

The natural flow of the proceedings gradually culminated into the icing ceremony, which began by freezing the butts of the hares as a tradition. Among the visiting hashers were those from Hyderabad and Bangalore.

The newcomers were Jairaj (yet another investment consultant) Kim & Chris (From the U S consulate) Nelson , Amit , Surender ,and last but not the least …the Oh La La !! Lucia.

The sponsors Anders, and Alka (ABB ) ,Chritina and the very formal Mr. Menon of Shangrila were next to be iced.

Then on the cold dais was the turn of our Nympho couple Cdr. Maini and his girl Methali who were christened “Bang Cock” and “Deep Throat” respectively. No prizes for guessing how they got their names.

Finally came the time to drop the curtains which was done by the sighing (read singing) of a very insulting version of the hash Anthem…..

On On !! Till the March run
