Drive/ Run/ Drive/ Beer/ Biryani
Winter has started approaching. Atleast the morning had a nip of cold in the air. Oh wait! That must've been because I was on the bike. Ha Ha Ha!

Lonavla runs have gotten a lot better since German Bakery has opened up. That is definitely evident as a lot of hashers gathered at the drinking hole for beers and breakfast before heading towards Aangan Bungalow for the run.
... only to realise that the run was not supposed to start from there. Hares (apparently) Fartashaty and Wreckless had consulted hare (actually) Shailesh to show them a route for us to run/walk this morning.
So, here is how it went, we drove to a lil ahead of Della Adventures, parked our vehicles in the middle of nowhere, walked 3kms to an open piece of land, had chai and then walked back 3 kms to the parking. No marking, no false trails, no nonsense. Just how I like it. Long runners were not disappointed to as the hare, Shailesh, had planned a longer route which took them further ahead and back. So, the short runners did 6kms and the long runners did 10 odd clicks.
And then started the drive back to outside Aangan bungalow is. The venue was nice and shady with a lot of greenery and trees around. Thank you Anand, Gayatri and Neel aka 'Little Master' for giving us the spoils.

| The gang there was! |
The headcount for this one was 18. To our advantage, the beers were in the ice for longer than usual.
Circle:
"Hares on the ice", said Bonsai and, somehow, Wreckless and Fartashaty came and sat on the ice. Shailesh was nowhere to be seen. I think he took a break from all the hard work and decided to give the circle a miss. Anyway, Wreckless kept cribbing about how the newly posted, 'Father In Law' (congrats Sanjay) came late and how they couldn't mark any trail. Bloody bullshit I say but it is always so merry when Wreckless is talking with his typical Bawa accent and that baby smile that we let him talk forever.

| Osama and Bollywood Boobs! |
Osama suddenly decided to bail... He quickly ate his biryani and was trying to exit with Bollywood Boobs even before the circle had started. So we very rudely (thats the way he likes it) asked him to wait, got him on the ice where he kept showing his middle finger to everyone. We thanked him for letting us know that he is alive and also for the lovely Candies breakfast that he got for us.

It brings us immense pleasure to find out that, after joining the hash, hashers get the knack of running. So much that they go and buy new shoes. And nothing else makes us happier. Just Gaurav and Just Ria recently declared their love for running. So we asked them to remove their left shoes and drink the damn beer off it. They obliged. "Not a single drop spiller and that's how it's done!"
We were in such a good mood that we even knighted 2 of our hashers. Ria got Sulemani Ass (Mrs. Assman had to get a last name) while Neil got 'Little Master'.
And on that happy note, we pledged our loyalty to the hash via the Hash Anthem and then ate our Biryani and thinned away.
On On until the next one!
