Run # 451 Kshunbhar Vishranti

The Ripple... errr... Waffle... errrr... DOMINO effect!

For people who decided not to participate in this run, trying to escape the heat: it couldn't get better than this. 

Kshunbhar Vishranti gave us chilled beers, shade and some authentic Malvani food. But the highlight was the work done by hares, Wandering Nuts and Sanghamitra.

What was dreaded to be a run, hot as hell, turned out to be a treacherous trek uphill BUT, in shaded patches for 75% of the run. It tested our lung capacity and gave us instant reports of how we were doing good by exercising, once in a while. The incline led to a flat surface on top of the hill. This vast stretch of land made a perfect location for a horror movie shot. Endless lines of trees, completely dried out in the heat, barren and rough land, shrubs cropping up here and there and the sudden silence in the air got us to run and get out of this place faster. I think this was the patch we crossed the fastest.

The Domino effect

Now, where there is a climb up, there is a downhill too. And we saw the downhill climb with Bonsai already at the bottom and Shining, Fubar, Sanfu, Khyati, Fartashaty and Vivek in the 2nd batch to follow. Sandeep was taking his time with this one and was left behind with Cumagain, Neha, Naysa, Temton, Myra and others. As we reached the bottom of the hill, Farty suddenly slipped on some loose gravel and went down on his butt. It was so hysterical that we couldn't stop laughing. We laughed so hard at the sight of it that I am sure a little pee came out. Just as we managed to get Farty on his feet, Vivek was the next to go. He slipped exactly on the same spot but his fall was epic. His expression while he was in he air for a fraction of a second was that of someone who was still hysterical about Fartys' fall and, at the same time, surprised about his own fall. Not only did he fall butt first in the ground, he actually bounced a little and fell again. Right behind him was Fubar who sat down to conquer the gravel slope only to realise that he too, eventually, fell victim to the gravel as he slipped and went down. 

Did you know? Snafu had a sighting in the wild. She saw a wild ASS just towards the end of the run. Before she could react, the ass was covered with pants and the man walked out of the ditch and showed us the way to Kshunbhar Vishranti. Poor guy couldn't fertilize the grounds, thanks to Snafu who now thinks that shes seen it all. This also led to some weird conversation about 'Shit being sucked in' post the run; I seriously would not want to discuss that on the blog. 

The 90 minute run was as good as it could get and people had nothing but praises for the hares. 

Circle:

Wandering Nuts and Sanghamitra, virgin hares, could not have pulled out a run better than this for this venue, for this run. The run, in my opinion was a solid 10/10. It was the right length, the right exercise and the right time to get back to the beers. 

Abhay (philosophical Asaram Bapu) and Khyati (Snafu's cousin) were the only Virgins for this run. They both shared  their experiences at their first run and were coldly welcome to the Hashing family.

Sanfu and Joy were next on the ice. Reason: Both of them are now owners of atleast 4 wonderful hash t-shirts but decided to endorse 'Zara' and 'Nike' on the run. 

Temton and Ramnik were on the ice. While Temton got his long overdue hash name the latter got the privilege of his hash name being withdrawn as he and some other hashers didn't agree to it. Temton was christened 'Hand cock' for his ability to operate fork lifts with his hand and breaking them while he does so more often than he would admit. 

Abhay could not control his laughter and walked away while we did the remixed dance version of 'Swing Low', our hash anthem.

Now, we came back to the main reason why we run from this venue, The Malvani Thali. Hashers sat at the huge dining table as a line of thalis, fish, mutton, chicken and veg were rolled out. We ate to our hearts content and then ate some more. 

Phir kya, we got out in the heat again and disappeared with our cars back to our beloved BOMBAY.

On! On!
