Runners with a drinking problem: July 2018

Wackopedia Hideout, Neral

They say great minds drink alike; Plato, Shakespeare, and even Abraham Lincoln have declared their love for a pint!

While that may have nothing to do with the Bombay Hash House Harriers, I just could not figure out a better way to start this blog.

The only thing that 3 hashers were particularly glad to discover was the insanely convenient One Day First Class Tourist Pass for train travelers like the hashers. With that thought in mind, Horny Yeti bought 3 passes and off we went to Neral for a possibily rainy affair with run # 549.

While we all wished that it would have rained a lil, the beautifully marked trail by Tulsiram (I stand corrected if I am wrong) more than made up for it. Wacko and Anjali (who's name would change by the end of this blog, made good use of their money (maybe) and resources (definitely) to ensure a beautiful countyside run.

Tulsiram is the one on the extreme right... the rightful hare.

However, we would like to thank the duo to help him in carrying chalk and tap throughout the run and make it easier for him to mark the trail.

All jokes apart, this was one of the better trails that we've run from. The run took us around an entire lake with views of the hills covered by a dark blanket of clouds, gigantic concrete water-fountain structures abandoned completely, an infinity pool, more green that the Hulk's skin tone, a small stream crossing and a wall climb. A beautifully marked and well laid trail is what made Run # 549 a successful one.

A few clicks from the run!

The incredible view!

Gang bang... eeeer... group selfie!

Some more greenery!

On In at the end of the run... GKG stands for Gaon ki Gori....

Back at the hideout, things were pretty loud and it felt we were much more than the 18 enthusiasts who made it for the beautiful Sunday shenanigan. There was music in the background and small interval showers. Kingfisher poured down throats and one would ocassionally here the entire Parsi clan, alongwith Wacko, indulging in a session of "Teri mai ni aankh" and some other abuses which come in the PG category.

Zafar's absence was not missed as Nazia decided to fill his bitchiness by constantly asking when the circle would start.

The circle:

The hare, Tulsiram was accompanied by Wacko and Anjali on the ice. Tulsi got a solid 8/10 for the trail and the other two were applauded for their capabilities of holding the chalk and tape carefully. We sang to them as they gulped down whatever was there in the piss pots.

SCB's : Anand, Horny Yeti and On a Loop were iced next for short- cutting. Things people do for free beer... and Anand doesn't even drink beer. :(

Fiji and back: Nazia was then given the honor of sitting on the ice for being the only one that day who attended the Fiji hash in Fiji (Lol).

A couple of hash names were given out that day too. Falguni got christened "Half a Peacock" thanks to her weird hairstyle and the color. She got knighted and she loved it. Dr. Anjali also got a name apt to her daily speech. Being a dentist, the 'n' number of times that she used the term, "Open Wide", we thought that in itself makes an apt name for her. She obliged.

Wacko was again put on the ice was allowing us to use his property for the run and we decided to not spray Pepper in house again. To join him was Horny Yeti (on behalf of KF) who has no resemblance with any KF big shots whatsoever. But who cares after a few beers?

Since we had time, we didn't even spare our GM and Brewmaster. They got their free beer for coming late and still doing the run. We spoke for a couple of seconds before they could chug, couple of seconds, enough for Shining to dose off on the ice.
