Run # 465 Arundhati Bungalow

Arundhati can now be officially renamed the 'Hash House'. Multiple runs from the same venue in the same year and still the owner asks when do we come next. Thank you Amey for being the lovely hosts.

This time though, we also had Yudhistir aka Yudi, with affection as big as his own size, to come give us company. While many could not come for the run due to other commitments; Running Fuck and Sitting Duck decided to show up for this one. Wackopedia also kept us entertained with the brand new TV that he's bought and it almost fits in his pocket. Lol

The run; same old affair, a walk inside the world famous National Park. This is the only place where the hares can walk away without marking the trail with anything whatsoever. I infact want to motion that we do not have hares for this run in the future. The short run was at 6kms while the long run doubled in length and was nearly 13kms. No one complained at the end of it. 

4 did the long trail, while others did the human trail. 5, however, screwed with everybodys head. Energizer Bunny, Cumagain, Naysa, Shilpa and Manoj decided to wander off in the depths of Kanheri Caves and returned 90 mins after the last short runner. The circle had to start now.

Hares: Wackopedia flagged off the circle as our brand new Religious Advisor. Hares Amey, Shinjini and Fubar were called on the ice. Although Amey and Shinjini were the official hares, Fubar was asked to assist n haring and hence he was iced too. Rightly put, there were 3 hares and exactly 3 spots where the tapes were marked. Inspite of that, none of the runners got lost and everybody followed the trail and came back, SPOT ON. A solid 10/10 for that.

Visitor: Aussie boy John Nelson was super glad to join us on the our little adventure. He became our favorite the moment he said, "Fosters isnt good beer." LOL

Rare Comers: Cyrus, Chintan and Karsten were next on the slab. Check out the contradiction; Karsten, a

genuine hasher, was in India, visiting, and decided not to miss an opportunity to run with BH3. The other two live in Bombay and decide to turn up for the occasional run. They all drank.

New Shoes: While Cyrus and Karsten were asked to get up, Chintan continued to warm the ice and was joined by Amey. They both enjoyed a hearty gulp of beer from their new, and now, christened shoes.

Now, while Chintan got off the ice, Amey stayed and was joined by Deep Throat on behalf of Kingfisher. Thus, there we had our 2 sponsors Amey and Deep Throat for Arundhati and KF respectively and hashers could not be happier cheering for them.

Last but definitely not least, Wackopedia was put on the ice and inducted into the league of extra ordinary RA's in the history of BH3.

And thus ended another successful day at the hash.

Run # 464 Parsee Gymkhana

Just as we reached the gates of PG, Baby Dick spoke about the 'n' number of women entering the gymkhana for the housie evening. He explained how these women would go from being sober to being a complete Parsi in a matter of a few minutes. Lol

Evenutally we moved on Marine Driver, under the bridge, where Cumagain wanted to flag off the run.

There was something unusual that occurred just as Bonsai decided to start announcing the run. We know she is a big gift in a small package (the hash name also suggests that). But we have to remind ourselves that she is also very light and a slight breeze can set her flying. That is what exactly happened but thanks to the brave efforts of Fartashaty and Fubar, she was caught and held before she could rise above our reach. You dont trust me? Let the photo speak for itself.

there she goes...

Three hares, Cumagain, Naysa and Aryaman, had marked 2 runs; a short and a long. Chief Hare, Aryaman, explained the run in the shortest and best way possible; "The run is marked in green tape and there are no false trails."

With that in mind, the odd hashers dividing themselves into runners/walkers and could here On On screams at a distance. The runners went completely off trail right in the beginning adding nearly half a click to their run. They ran across Marine Drive till the aquarium and headed back to the start point to continue on the walkers trail, who by this time had a considerable lead. The motive behind this was to make sure that everybody lands back to the venue at the same time. We covered most of the Fort are of SoBo before we appeared on the Mariner Drive from the Air India building. As the hare had planned, we did get to see the wonderful sunset.

We, however, did reach much before the time PG opens its bar, i.e. 7pm. The bawas, sitting with their bawis (or somebody elses) sure wished the gymkhana started serving us immediately; we just would not stop cursing and laughing which annoyed them beyond their minds.

The beers came, not so chilled initially, but things just got better from there. Vada, Akuri on toast and chicken starters started doing rounds and scattered hashers could be seen conversing with food in one hand and beer in another.

Thus ended another eventful hashing day.

Run # 463 Where's the ice?

Seasons play an important role on how we look at a particular venue. People who ran from here the last time will have a very rainy memory. Yes! the last time we rain from this venue, it rained as hell. This time, it was the complete opposite. Wood fried pizzas weren't as hot as we were on the trail.

But that doesn't stop some of our very recent hashers from showing off. I always knew that shit happens when you listen to Nihar Mehta. I dont know how he convinced them but, Deepak, Yogesh and Nihar decided and actually did cycle all the way from Bombay to the venue of the run (roughly 65 kms, ONE WAY). We didnt know whether to praise them or laugh at them. That is too much work for beer. As if that was not enough, Nihar went a step ahead and actually also did the entire run... he did get lost and was fetched by Amey in his car, eventually. 

But, hares Khushboo and Amey with the help of Shivaji and a white turban fella pulled out a short sweet and sexy run. It came as an utter surprise as no one expected a run, which involved haring by Shivaji, to get over so soon. We finished in under 120 mins.

Khushboo

Ammeyyyyyyy

Shivaji

Chief Hare

Things were a lil heated up after the run as the regular ice supplier ditched us with a whole lot of excuses. Screwed Driver made a few calls and we finally did get ice. It took a while before the ice could chill the beer but we made best of our sober time with some chit chat and frisbee.

Circle:

Hares: 3 out of the 4 hares were iced. The 4th hare decided to disappear the moment he saw us crazy bunch. I am sure he realised that he would be in grave danger if he hung around for long. The run was short, hot and fabulous.

New Shoes: Atleast I have never seen so many people on the ice for wearing new shoes. Khushboo, Fartashaty, Fubar, Joy were all iced as they proudly drank from the shoe... No Cheating by this bunch.

Beertism: Ramnik, whose hash name was withdrawn, got a newer, supposedly better hash name, 'Break a Leg'. 

Visiting hashers: The people responsible for bring Ram bhau, and by extension, Sita bhabhi, into this world graced us with their presence on this hash run. They were put on the ice alongwith Sita Bhabhi. Fubar got the privilege of laying tummy down on the ice while momma dear sat on his back and other hashers got their very rare chance of bothering Fubar... lol

Mandy made it to the ice for doing a ramp walk on the trail. Wackopedia, who was behind her when she modelled for the heat, did a very successful imitation of the walk and got much acclaim for the same. 

Wackopedia doing a Mandy

How could we forget the sponsors and the host. Shining took place on the ice on behalf of the Kingfisher alongwith the host. Cheers!

Thus ended the circle with the hash anthem and finally ended the hashing day with yummy biryani.
