9th Jan (Thursday)
Thursday went by easy as Bh3(bombay hash) came prepared for the madness which would ensue the resort over the weekend. All we had to do was finish marking the run for friday, check if the beers were in place, make sure the beers are getting chilled by trying them every hour. We also spent the entire evening listening to music and drinking beers. All this while, we were checking how much beer needed to be consumed to not feel cold. Then it turned out to be not so cold. So we drank to beat the heat. Anyway, Beer QC, check.
10th january (Friday)
Just before noon, tuk tuks started pulling in the resort gates and hashers poured in. In a not so polite fashion, hashers finished their registrations, wore their wrist bands and went straight to the bar. "It's beer time", said someone. I guess by lunch, the entire team of UTropicana realised that it was going to be a fun fun weekend.
Run # 1
After settling the luggage in their rooms, hashers gathered in the lawn to inaugurate the first run of Nash Hash 2020. Hared by the bawa gang of Bombay Hash (Baby Dick, Gimme More, Hand Job and Wreckless) with a minimal assistance from Fubar and Half a Peacock, runners were taken on a trip to the surroundings of the resort. 3 superbly marked trails led Hashers through the rough, the bush, the heat, the road, back to the resort. A good 8km+ workout; perfect thirst builder for all the beers to follow.
Back at the resort, the mood had started to build for the perfect evening. Bhajiyas started doing rounds along with beer. Music blared from the massive BT speaker as Hashers lay on the grass and soaking in the shade and the slight nip in the air. An aerial view would have disclosed a sea of people wearing Kotak Mahindra tees and having a good time.
Pusher honked the horn and the circle began. Algebra opened her box of hash songs and everyone sangalong, atleast hummed out the tunes.The circle concluded with a 100 hashers singing the hash anthem in unison.
7.30pm
The DJ had slowly started pepping up the music while hashers chilled in the lawn, all decked up, sipping whiskeys and beers and what not. UTropicana made a bonfire and also cooked Popti, a earthen pot filled with meat and veggies and cooked in the bonfire.
9.00pm.
The lawn turned into a dance floor. Hashers got a taste of Bollywood. People with 2 left feet could be seen dancing like MJ meets Prabhudeva.
11.00pm
The lawn was now a bed for some, while a chill zone for others. The music had stopped officially but beats could be heard from a distance.
Midnight
The after party had broken loose in Villa Number. 8 which continued till the wee hours of morning and then more.
11th Jan, (Saturday)
Post breakfast, people broke into a sing and dance, skits and what not. A row of sailors went sailing in the lawn and came back with multiple orgasms(check Instagram for video)). Beer games got people chugging beers and running crooked, while arm wrestlers argued over who won, wait what?
Simultaneously, an impromptu volleyball match between Bombay and Bangalore started trending. We did a best of 3 and each team won a match. Grand Finale time was cut short as Bombay Hash had planned a skit. So it was decided that the finale would be played during Monsoons Madness (watch out if early bird tkts to the Finale).
The hosts performed a lovely skit called 'The Fountain of Youth' (Check Instagram for video). Never knew spitting water on someone would be so much fun.
Famished by the time lunch was served, we were still in high spirits for the run.
Run # 2 (Bangalore Hash 700th run)
3.00pm
Hashers gathered in the lawn. Today was a sea of SBI tees.
3.30pm
The runners flagged off. Marked by Shivaji, Wackopedia and a team from Bangalore hash, the run was divided into S M and L. You could make out who partied hard by seeing which route they chose. Lol
6pm.
The circle today was a PG rated so no cameras were allowed.
A lot of announcements and applauds happened before the Hash Anthem concluded the circle. Once again, Algebra entertained with a lot of songs.
The Party
Today was a Hawaiian theme night. Pretty colours and outfits filled the lawn. There were also numerous skits performed by all the participating chapters. It went on for a while, to a point where we may have passed the deadline for dance and music. The resort Management, in love with us by now, extended the deadline and we did get the dancefloor towards the end.
Midnight
The after party at Villa No. 8 continued. Only Tonite, there was more attendance. And the party went on and on and on...
12th Jan (Sunday)
The hangover run was a treasure hunt within the resort premises. Dr. Porn did a fantastic job with the TH.
Post lunch, check outs started and soon, 2 ferries left the jetty for the sail back to Bombay. But who said the party was over?
Post lubes happened at a Taproom, closer to the airport and beers kept pouring till as long as they could.
