Run # 354 Arundhati Bungalow

I never knew that there were so many bungalows next to National Park. Heck, I never even imagined that there was a school which was within the boundaries of the Park. The gate to that school also provides an illegal entry inside the park… WOW! I think I owe BIG TIME to Rajni… the person behind finding us this lovely little bungalow. And not to forget the hosts at the venue; Vilas, Shilpa and Neeta.

All this did help Sexy Bombil, Butt-ler, Shivaji and I(Chewing Bum) (soon to be re-named) mark a wonderful trial for the 354^th run at Arundhati Bungalow, Borivali(East). I should say that Chewing Bum has almost achieved excellence in haring for runs cos he has been doing CONTINUOSLY for the last…. MMmmmm… 4-5 months? Am I correct? YES. Ahem… we need more hares is what I mean to say… Duh…

So, coming back to Sunday. We had a decent attendance for the run. And we behaved ourselves as well… Osama kept abusing everyone… Fartashaty was cracking jokes which made HIM laugh… Sanjay was introducing his friends who always come only for 1 run… Ketki was keeping everyone involved… Porus was collecting moolah… people were happy and I was waiting for the run to start and finish so the beer could open.

THE RUN… oh! The run… what a beauty… we went past bungalows, illegally entered National Park, legally came out, roamed the area a bit and went back to the bungalow. Porus was sad that he could not find the markings after a certain point and was spanking Butt-ler’s butt… royally. If you noticed… all the FRB’s (excluding me) were haring the run… Strangway took the lead and was the first one to finish the run. Most of them short-cutted… led by our very own Butki (sahi hai). ROLE MODEL… The run was over around noon.

I wanted to taste it for quiet sometime now and I got my chance on the run. YES… this time Kingfisher was kind enough to read my mind and send a whole lot of Kingfisher BLUE… nice and smooth. As I was about to gulp my first sip… “TANDARUSTI”, shouted Osama. The scene was set. People were chatting, drinking, laughing, giggling… making new comers comfortable AND drinking KINGFISHER BLUE. We knew what’s next… THE CIRCLE…
