Run # 437 Aman Lodge

September 30, 2012

5 little monkeys jumping on the bed

1 fell down and broke his head... 

some crap like that went down in Matheran on Saturday when a bunch of hashers decided to reach Matheran a day in advance. But we are not here to know what these few did to the monkeys. We are concentrating on the Sunday... THE Sunday, when a crazy bunch of people ran in the wilderness of Matheran. 

60 odd hashers turned up at the heritage 'Aman Lodge' bungalow belonging to our very own Abbasbhai. People, some on time and some fashionably late, arrived and started the run, the lonnnnnng run. It felt that this run was sponsored by Nissan to promote their caaaaaaaaaar, Sunny. 

It was a long run for sure but rest assured, the run took us to points in Matheran which no one visits even when they are on their leisure trip to his hill station of the monkeys. The run, starting from Aman Lodge took us into the wilderness and brought us at the Louisa Point... on on to Echo Point, Charlotte Lake through the back road of the market back to Aman Lodge. We clocked 3 hours of walking and were desperately craving beer by the end of it. And beer we got.

The circle-

It was obvious that the hares would have a tough time cos of the long run, but no one complained a lot. Though long, it was shady enough for people to finish it without breaking a lot of sweat. There was a mix of yuhu's and boo's but overall, the run was enjoyed by each and everyone. Success for hares Baby Dick, Leaky Faucet and Gimme More.

Virgins: Oh my God so many of them! I cannot even remember most of the names so I am going to name the few that I remember. 

So there was Vandana (singer), Deepak (Businessman), Yogesh Shetty (Restaurant Owner), Ketan and Ami with their kids (relative of Cumagain and Neha) and Shika (dentist) were a few amongst others. 

New Shoes: Pranita, Sandeep and Fubar were next on the ice. This is the 3rd time that Fubar drank beer off his new shoes (filled with red sand) in Matheran. The left shoe for all 3 were out and people generously poured beer in them for them to relish. You must try it, 'Beer and red sand go well together'.

No charges surprisingly, however, some hungry hashers had already started binging on the lovely biryani. Thanks to Nihar for getting the biryani in the absence of Bonsai.
