Run # 597 From Karjat to Chembur

Thank you Wackopedia for writing this one.

comedy of terrors...

The rain gods have threatened the peaceful harmony of Bombay H3 with Mother Nature time and again and so it was another threat on 26.11.2023.. at around 0430 hours on the last Sunday of November Indra, Vajra and Vayu decided to give their "Tridev" performance...

So at the late hour (read early hours of 26.11), the mismanagement decided to move the run to Mumbai, and after 14 seconds of deliberations Chaurang Sunshine, Govandi was chosen over Greenwoods, Andheri...

At 1000 hours the faithful band of 7 active BH3 hashers set out to soak in the freshly polluted lanes of Deonar, Govandi, Chembur, and peripheries of Anushakti Nagar... rains a few hours earlier had dropped the AQI... the neo-rich Mumbaikars and their guzzling SUVs ensured that we were "comfortably" gagging again, from the ramparts of the Derasar to the backyard of BARC past the iconic RK family home in Chembur past the golf club and a minor landmark called diamond garden and finishing off walking under the shades of the eastern freeway the run ended at the parking lot of the rains forced the venue change.. Till got lost even though he was practically at the venue 🤦🏻‍♂️. The rest danced around Mumbai before reaching the venue while Shivaji the hare, hare raiser and currently operating on "one stone" made history as the only hare to have finished behind the other 6 hashers.

6 hashers lead the 1 hare through the 8.77 km of Sunday morning bliss-ters...
this happens only in India 🎶

ON ON!

Run # 596 Shivaji Park Gymkhana

 It is never a tricky situation for BH3. This run coincided with a very important cricket match. So, without batting an eyelid, we organized a city run from Shivaji Park Gymkhana so that we could wind up the run, and get tipsy enough to be back home on time for the wonderful clash. 

Brokeback Mountaineer and Shivaji decided to mark this one. They made a couple of attempts to make it a bit challenging, but the hashers decided against it and stuck to the road. 

The run, a superb walk around Dadar, Mahim, and Matunga took us through the streets, onto the beach, and attempted to get us to climb boulders (hashers decided to walk around). 

The run even had a lovely Vada Pav halt which was thoroughly enjoyed by the lot. 

Shivaji Park is a bustling ground with more than a million cricket matches going on at the same time. That's a perfect place to watch the chaos unfold while you sip on ice-cold beers. And that is what we did. 

Hashers discussed the possibilities of venues to go to after the Pan Asia Hash event. It was eventually decided that the infamous satellite dish antenna scene from Don 2 would be recreated; the lineup TBA. 

With that, and a few beers down our throats, we headed out of the venue to our homes for the upcoming match. 

On ON!

Run # 595 Butt-ler pad Bandra

We're always hunting for a lovely spot to run from. It could be anything, a pub, a bar, or a parking lot for that matter. As long as the venue is good enough for us to chill and sip cold beers, hashers will accommodate themselves anywhere. But that wasn't the case this time. 

A couple of months ago, we ran from Rajodi Beach, a lovely spot nestled on the outskirts of the city; all credit to Buttler. 

As if exposing us to that wasn't enough, Lenny Sampey aka Buttler took it a notch up and invited us over to his SPOT ON residence in the heart of Bandra. 

With that, on a lovely Sunday morning, hashers from across the city made their way to this standalone house in Bandra which Buttler calls home. And what a lovely day we made out of it. 

The run, hared by Buttler and Rear Entry and Wackopedia took on a walk through Bollywoody Bandra. We crossed past what a lot of our "superstars" call home. If that wasn't enough, the run became even more exciting when the hares through in a bit of the jogger's park and a lot of the bylanes, bringing out the best of Bandra with its tiny houses from the yesteryears; the real Bandra. 

The almost 9km run took us around the suburb and brought us back to chilled beers and fun conversations. Not to forget the yummy bitings that kept doing rounds, thanks to the Sampey family. 

The hares were iced and applauded for their wonderful run. 

Dr. Porn was iced as he shared his recent experience with the hash in the UK

Lenny graced the ice for being an excellent host. 

FUBAR was iced for some reason. 

Bombay Hash also announced the comeback of its Easter Weekends. A big attendance from BH3 is not signed up for Pan Asia Hash 2024 in Johor Bahru. Urging more hashers to join the fun. We also announced the 600th run of Bombay Hash which coincides with the 41st anniversary... that's a reason to celebrate again. 

With the announcements made and the icing is done, we put our beer cans on the ground, sang the hash anthem, and ate the yummy Hersche's biryani. 

With the tummy happy and full, the hashing day was concluded.

ON ON!

Run # 594 | Huseni Farm, Karjat

 The Invisible Markings Run

Bhanpurwala Farm aka Husaini Farm never ceases to amaze and it didn't disappoint last Sunday too. With monsoons playing havoc, the whole of July and then going on a sabbatical in August, the wonderful hashing day in Karjat was only dampened by the lack of rain. 

It did, however, rain incessantly the day before; Saturday. It also happened to be the day when Bicep Bubbly and FUBAR went to mark the trail. More on that later... 

Run # 594 was a party of sorts. It started with hashers, almost 40 of them, making their way into the farm post 9 a.m. And it became apparent that it was going to be a feast later on. 

Bonsai announced the run at 10 a.m. followed by a pretty long description of the run by FUBAR, the bunch left and started on their trail. 

The Run

After a short walk on the rough road, the hashers were soon diverted into an incline, completely ditching the road for the rest of the trail. 

And what a trail it turned out to be, minus, one minor detail... the markings laid by Bicep Bubbly and FUBAR on the climb up had all but disappeared. This put the hashers off their stride as they all were stranded on a beautiful hill top, waiting for the hares to figure their shit out. 

After the tiny inital hindrance, things got back on track as the trail led the hashers throught some amazing wilderness, streams, paths, lush greenary and a picture perfect view. Flozzie, our visiting hasher from Kenya, who thought that this was a flat walk, eventually would mark this a 10/10 trail. 

  

Even the markings were abundant on the climb down. The excitement kept going up though, as, once down the hill, the trail diverted to a waterfall and a step stream. A bunch of us decided to spend extra time here as we soaked in the clean, cold and refreshing water for some memories. 

Post Run

While the trail was an absolute fun one, things back at the farm were also brewing up a delicable treat for the taste buds. Hashers came back to a spread which included but was not limited to:
Peanuts (or as Wacko and FUBAR say it, "our salaries")

Snacks (Pre-run Candies snacks by Osama and Bollywood Boobs)

More assorted snacks by the Bawa Gang

Assorted Bhajiyas

Chutney Sandwiches by Chediya Chutney (Romel)

Yummy Cup Cakes by Meenal Che

Barbecue: Assorted veg, Corn and assorted meats; with Mr. Husaini himself at the helm, serving them up. 
Cool cans of London Pilsner beer to wash all the yummy food down

And of course, biryani for lunch.

Not to mention, there was also a mix of AP Dillon, 80's Retro and some 'Dil le gayi teri bindiya' type tracks in the background. 

Circle

Hares

Bicep Bubbly and FUBAR drank on the ice for a wonderful trail which, apart from the marking fiasco, garnered a fabulous 10/10

Mr. Husaini, Flozzie, Cunt Llyod, and Makes Me Cum were next on the ice. They were cheered for hosting, visiting, first-timer, and 'shaam ko ghar aaya' roles respectively. 

Cunt Vishal was iced for being the first to commit to hare this run and then backing out the last minute. 

Nazia was iced for short-cutting. She did not do the waterfall, instead, took the road back. Upon hearing this, Shining screamed out lout, "What waterfall?". He was iced too.

Osama and Bollywood Boobs were iced next and the BIG SURPRISE was revealed. All those who attended this run were given Beer Mugs, courtesy this couple on the ocassion of BH3's 40th anniversary. A big round of cheers and applauds went around upon this. 

Beer mug, courtesy Bolly Boobs and Osama

Post the anthem, chit chats and beer continued and lunch was on. 

P.S. It did pour cats and dogs the moment we reached Panvel... None thoughout the run, courtesy; Dearly unloved, Wackopedia... 

On On to September. 

Run # 593 | Freemason Hall

 History, Heritage, and a lot of beer!

The title pretty much doesn't sum up the Sunday that the hashers spent, crawling around the streets of South Bombay. There was of course a lot more that happened that day. 

So, forty-something enthusiastic hashers turned up at Freemason's Hall for what they thought would be a lovely rainy day. Then... Wackopedia walked-in. He wore the smile of the Grinch, as what followed him... was the sun shining brighter than ever. The dark clouds had disappeared and the wet land dried as fast as the sweat showed up on everyone. 

With hopes in our hearts and a skip in our step, Baby Dick, the cheap chief Hare, blew the bugle, announced the run, and off we went. 

The run was truly an amazing walk. Over the next 8kms, we walked through some prominent landmarks in Bombay including, but not limited to, The RBI building, Gateway of India, Taj Hotel, Fashion Street, Oval Maidan, Asiatic Library, Marine Drive etc. 

By the end of the run, the rain jackets had dried up and the sweat had REALLY built up. But what an amazing hashing Sunday it turned out to be. 

Back at Freemason's Hall, gathered hashers chilled under the comfort of a room with fans (not something we are used to), and what a welcome change it was. The beer station was already seeing a little crowd and those not at the beer station were not there cos they were already holding on to their glass of liquid gold, a glass of very chilled beer. 

Venkat, imparting some history behind the Freemasons

Now, you do not come to Freemasons and not have a tour of the building. Our host, Venkat took the onus and gave all the hashers a nice tour of the hall and also took us inside what they consider to be their temple. Hashers sat in a long row of chairs as Ventak shared with us, the history behind the venue and the Freemason's culture. 

Back in the hall, hashers continued with their beers and bitching until the invisible GM decided she had drunk one too many beers and announced the circle. 

HARES:

Hand Cock, Leaky Faucet, and Fartashaty graced the ice for a well laid run. No complaints there. The run unanimously scored a 10/10 - the ZERO rainfall

The Grinch aka Wackopedia

Wackopedia made it to the ice cos we didn't get wet during the run. It is well established that the only time it rained in his presence was at Huseni (though after the run was over). 

Freshers were then inducted on the ice. They made sure they commit to coming back for more of this awesomeness. Only time will tell. 

Venkat, the host for the day was iced and we couldn't thank him enough for the wonderful arrangements he had made for the bunch. 

Hashers then indulged into a lovely spot of lunch arranged by Freemasons. The food was yummy and a welcome change over the biryani. With the cameras loaded with pictures, and a belly full of beers and food, the hashers called it a day; excited for the August, Run Of The Year!

ON ON.

Run # 592 | Malcolm Baug (Jogeshwari)

THE BOOBS RUN!

(Bawa's on One Big Sortie) 

The Wackopedia Rain curse has been lifted to a certain extent!

As the hashing bunch poured into Cyrus' den in Malcolm Baug, we could not help but notice the slight drizzle that persisted in spite of knowing that Wackopedia was going to come for this run. Then again, we claimed that the drizzle would turn into sunshine the moment Wackopedia arrives. 

BH3, celebrated Run # 592 from Cyrus' lovely den in Jogeshwari. With the weather on our side, it was a refreshing welcome to the monsoon in the city. 

Hared by the Bawa trio i.e. Cyrus, Hand Cock, and Wreckless, the threesome laid out an awesome run. We started off with a walk inside Malcolm Baug (special permission was needed for it AND we were not allowed the click frenzy). Malcolm Baug is a serene settlement of Bawa Bungalows and the quiet lanes make you feel you're on a hill station trip. 

Back on the road, the hares took us through the streets of Jogeshwari. We crossed the old IBC and it brought back some past hashing memories. The rain kept keeping things cool and the run was a refreshing one. So much so that a few hashers even halted for chai and 2 vada pavs (no prize for guessing here). 

Even more good news awaited once we were back at the base. BH3 has moved to London Pilsner, a beer loved by a lot of hashers. DYK, LP was once our official choice of beverage?

Circle:

The hares were applauded for the run, criticized and

praised for the use of red tape, and were overall blessed for a good run. We did forget to give them the pisspots to drink from. But then we made up for it by giving them pisspots to drink from. (What were you thinking we did?)

Visiting hashers, Virgins,

and 2 timers were iced next. They happily embraced the cold solid water and had a ball of a time drinking from a pisspot. 

FRB's from the run. 

LWB's (Last walking bastud's) enjoying chai and 2 vada pavs.

The Cyrus family was also iced for letting us the space for the run and spoiling us with their lovely hospitality. This was also the apt moment for Cyrus to FINALLY get his hash name. A little birdie informed us about a certain letter, which, Cyrus had difficulty pronouncing. The letter also happens to triple up to make the name of a super duper hit movie of the SOUTH. 

We pounced on the situation and the general, 'hahaha', mentality and gave him a name.

THE LETTER IN QUESTION - 'R'

THE SUPER DUPER HIT MOVIE - 'RRR'

CYRUS was christened, RRR aka Rejaculate, Rest, Repeat. 

A few others were on the ice just cos either we put them there but mostly cos they were enjoying the feeling it gave their sore butts. 

What else? 

The Hash anthem was sung, biryani was had, more beers were gulped and wet hashers (either due to the rain or otherwise), headed home and maybe slumped. 

See you on the next!

On On!

Run 591 | Grant Road

 One of the most liked places for us hashers to run from within the city is Late Mr. Irani's (RIP) lovely terrace in Grant Road. 

And we were glad to be here after so long. 

So, on a crisp and hot Sunday morning, hashers gathered outside the gate of the building which happens to be BANG opposite the Grant Road Railway Station. While were shuffling the crates from the car to the terrace, a cabbie was heard cursing. The words he used got instantly graved in our minds and Wackopedia accepted the cabbie as a guru... "Lund ke Balgam"

The hot topic of discussion was also the very fancy way, this run was marked. There was no tape, no chalk, no map; this beauty was marked with a riddle, actually, a few riddles put together. And the riddles were made up of Bollywood songs. 

The trail was as follows:

na na karte pyaar tumhi se kar baithe - 

apni azaadi ko hum hargiz mitaa sakte nahin - 

kabhi warden road kabhi ...... .... - 

hum bewafaa hargiz na thé (par hum 'hotel 😜' book karna saké) - 

पाद aa rahi hai, mujhe पाद aa rahi hai - 

hai huku hai huku hai hai - 

left lo aur dekho baarish (nahin) ho rahi hai - 

jaggu dada ka adda aaya, dhoop mein gaand fatt gaya  - 

yahan pe jayenge lekin bhel nahin khayenge - 

aur left mein naahi pav bhaji khayenge - 

Vihar coffee House (yeh bc jagah pe koi film ne dhyaan nahin diya, BC)! - 

left at z grade bhojpuri movies ka purana thikana - 

iss theatre ke aas paas mein sirf gay aur fairies milenge - 

take left to arrive at station pin code 007!

So, the next time you are in town and are supremely bored and want to walk, just decode this and you'll be good to go. 

We crossed quite a few landmark spots and we also crossed the building which was gifted to the right hand of Mr. Mukesh Ambani. If I was given a property this big, I'd retire. 

The View point was shut so we stood next to it for a group picture. The sun was right on top but our spirits were high. Either that or the circuits in our heads had burnt off. Either way, good pic eh!?

Back at the venue, the fans were turned on and hashers chilled on comfy chairs and chilled Kingfisher while it lasted. 

Issued in public interest:

When I say chilled Kingfisher while it lasted, I meant that we served the last batch of Kingfisher. We shall now be sipping on the cool refreshment that London Pilsner brings with it. 

Yeah, Bombay Hash has moved to London Pilsner and a certain few hashers couldn't be more happier with the welcome change. Thank you Kingfisher for your support all these years. 

So, after Osamas snacks were devoured and FUBARs salary was munched up, Bonsai announced the circle and every one stood around 6 lil blocks of ice that were melting away fast. 

Shivaji was iced for the wonderfully riddled run. Wreckless, Cyrus, Hand Cock, Ninja and Leaky Faucet accompanied him with a wow to hares runs in the future. 

Next on the ice was Wreckless and Hand Cock, the birthday boys of May. 

Fartashaty decided to wear new shoes to the run. We loved the shoes as much as he loved drinking donated beer from the shoe. 

Fartashaty was also put on the ice for organizing the lovely venue for us to run from. We all raised our cans and paid our respects to Mr. Irani. 

I guess London Pilsner has already started working its magic on the hashers. By the time we were done with the anthem, Cyrus got very patriotic and motivated and offered a venue for the June run and also commited to hare the said run. Yippee!

Note: The June run is going to be a city run! 

With the assumption of a monsoony June run, hashers split, with enough time to watch the IPL finals which actually, eventually, ended on Tuesday.

ON ON!

PS: Osama is up for grabs! Anyone interested!?

Run # 590 | 3 gunna lagaan maaf

 13 men; 13 notorious men gathered outside Shivaji Park Gymkhana on a Sunday morning. What followed was an absolutely... well... unmarked run through the streets of Dadar and Matunga. 

Run # 590 was an all-out, "Why shouldn't boys have all the fun" run. Yes, a 100% guy run (unplanned) as the ladies decided to puss out of this one. 

Wackopedia and Shivaji have finally spent enough time with FUBAR to fuck this one up, BIG TIME! But it was fucked up in a very good way. 

The run flagged off outside the Gymkhana. Neither Wackopedia nor Shivaji, who also happens to be the Hare Raiser, spoke of markings. They nicely wrapped the run with words we couldn't make out and suddenly said ON ON! to disperse us. 

BUT, before all that happened; Osama decided to show up for this one with a car full of goodness from a little place in heaven known as Candies. Yup, Osama laid a 7-course styled breakfast in front of us with eatables ranging from Chutney/ Cheese/ Chicken sandwiches to puffs and samosas and the world-famous Bandra; potato chips.  

This was followed by the grand entrance of Chediya Chutney which guaranteed a round of yummy-tasty, home-made chutney sandwiches. 

All this put us in a really good mood to wonder or worry about the markings; of which there were none. 

That aside, the trail took us through the hustle and bustle of Dadar and Matunga and got all of us back to the Gymkhana safe and sound. 

Once back, we pumped another round of snacks with the addition of the Chutney Sandwiches and headed to the roof of the Gymkhana for some cold beers and conversations. 

ON ON!

Run # 589 Rajodi Beach

The run flags off on the biteach

A run on the beach was the best way to follow up a run in the woods. With that in mind, we gathered across the street from Rajodi Beach in Virar (which could also be accessed from Nalasopara and Vasai). 
Buttler aka Lenny made some fabulous arrangements for the evening. 

This also marked the return of Racing Snake(Eugene) and Buttler(Lenny) and Ashwin. These creatures resurfaced after a long time. 

Hares, Buttler and Shivaji laid a craze of a trail. We started off with a long stretch on the beach and then entered the bylanes of Virar. 

We crossed flea markets, shopping streets, beers shops (some hashers even indulge in roadside gulping), vast fields, a professional cricket tournament LIVE, houses with fish being dried on a bedsheet on the road, some more beer shops (hashers indulged again). 

The hares even squeezed in a snack break at a point on the run. Piping hot vada pavs were served. And, guess what, there was a beer shop right next to the stall (so some hashers indulged in a gulp, AGAIN). 

Shivaji even indulged in some shopping at the open flea market on the trail.

Veggie cleaning: Hares had organized for the hashers to take the opportunity and live locally. They got some of us to clean veggies with the local farmers. In exchange for cleaning a lot, the hashers were awarded a peg of their local alcohol. 

Tadi shots: There was also a stop where hashers got to swig a shot of desi daru. That got the feet wobbly. 

After the run, things at the venue were picking up merrily. As the last hashers i.e. Bicep Bubbly, Clit-ohhh-patra, and FUBAR entered the venue, they could hear Bonsai hurling abuses L, R, and C. True to her image, they could only hear her cursing. It was also noteworthy when a hasher questioned why the 3 last comers were so late in spite of taking a shortcut? The topic was conveniently diverted by the smart and savvy short cutters. 

Circle:

Hares were applauded for the brilliantly laid trail. The markings were a little scarce but the experience of the run overall was fantastic. Shivaji and Lenny drank heartily from their piss-pots for a gobtastic trail.

Bicep Bubbly, FUBAR, and Clit-oh-patra were iced for having too many beers and too much fun on the run. They shortcutted to get extra time on the beach and even managed time on the ice and beers from the pot for the same. 

The 1st 2 got off the ice while the latter was joined by Cumsulkcunt on the ice. Clit had an announcement to make... "She said yes", it was. There was an outburst of emotions and congratulations followed. 

Wackopedia, Running Snake, and Bonsai warmed the slab next. Running Snake pulled out a trophy with Bonsai's name on it. He announced that he was done holding on to it for so many years and finally wanted to hand it over to Bonsai. Another round of nostalgic emotions took over the hashers for all of 14 seconds, I guess. 

Buttler took center stage by providing us a fantastic venue and arrangements for a lovely run. 

As if we hadn't had enough yet, out came piping hot and yummy-tasty fish and chicken starters for the gang. They were gulped down with burning throats; they were that tasty-yummy. A finger ful of vegetarians stoop on the side and watched. Then it was their turn as they got some slurpy-yummy sabzi, roti, and dal. 

With a belly full of beer and yummy food and a mind, fully refreshed with all the beach vibes, we headed back home. ON ON!

Run # 588 Arundhati, SGNP

 "वही बंगला जहां जमीन पर बर्फ रखी हो और लोग उस पर बैठते हों?", said the ice vendor upon FUBAR ordering the ice. "आप सब बरसों बाद आए हैं", he said as he confirmed that the ice block would reach Arundhati on time for the circle. 

The Arundhati gang for Run # 588

On Sunday morning, the neighborhood in Krishna Nagar, Borivali (East), woke up to a nostalgic chatter outside Arundhati Bungalow. Screams of On On!, where to park the car? who will eat Vada pav, weird names being called out did the rounds! 

Amey 'Jack of', the host, and a newly titled father, was overwhelmed already by seeing hashers after ages.

Bicep Bubbly, one of the 2 hares, arrived fashionably late and tried to blame his wife for the same. One look from Deepti and he had his tail between his legs. 

 

The unmarked trail, finally announced by FUBAR, flagged off at 10:30ish and took the hashers for a lovely walk inside Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a dense jungle within the city. Once again, we didn't manage to lose any hasher on the trail or in the jaws of a wild cat (DAMMIT). After roughly 90 mins of pure Mowgly vibes, the hashers returned to Arundhati for some down-downs.  

Arundhati has always been a place where hashers get a little enchanted. The conversations are more, the masti is more and the vibe is a little high. 

Circle:

FUBAR and Bicep Bubbly were iced for laying a fantastic trail without any markings. A superb 10/10 for the run, purely cos of the environment in which it was held. 

Virgin, Dipti, and Returnees, Bicep Bubbly, Shreyashi, Horny Yeti, and On a Loop were iced and welcomed and welcomed back to Bombay Hash

The entire gang who made it to InterHash in Goa was next on the ice. 

Clit-Oh-Patra was iced for showing true Hashing spirit and traveling almost 200 km just to attend the run.

'Jack Of' was iced for being a wonderful host and spoiling us with this quaint and lovely bungalow. Bonsai and Shinging curiously discussed his ass in the background.

After all the fun, yummy biryani did the job of keeping our tummy happy. 

Some headed off to their domes while some headed off to Doolally for more beers. 

On On!

Next Run:

Run # 587 God knows where

We decided to start 2023 with the city run. And as dazed and confused, 1 half of the hare was, it all became chaotic right off the start. 

Yes, FUBAR was one half of the duo who were going to hare. See that is where it already becomes interesting. Now, it becomes even more interesting because the second hare was the Vada Pav-loving, curse inventing, Wackopedia. See where we are going?

The Run (as announced)- It was announced that the run would start from the gate of Inorbit Mall and finish at Malad Social. Sounds super simple, innit? 

The Haring procedure- The hares would set a trail, and mark it with red tape or flour or chalk, or limestone. 

Fubar set off on Saturday morning to mark a rough trail, halfway into his journey, he realized he'd forgotten to carry the damn tape. So he just walked the trail and got it on Strava. 

In the evening, he and Wackopedica set off once again, this time with the red tape. They marked the first 3 km of the 6kms trail and then stopped. 

They stopped at a local watering hole known as Panchmukhi.  It was a quarter joint. Over the next 6 hours, they got tipsy and decided that this was a better spot than Malad Socials and so the down-downs should be done here. There was also a surprise for all those attending the run. 

The actual run- On D-Day, the hashers gathered at the meeting point. Wreckless provided entertainment by wearing his hash tee, front side back. He did do a small but erotic skin show while attempting to correct the wardrobe malfunction on the street. 

Soon after the erotic session, the fun was flagged off. 

The surprise- The hashers were immediately ushered to the newly inaugurated Metro Line and the run began with a ride in the Metro. Post the ride, the trail took them to the lovely backroad of Malad Mindspace, onto the Link Road, through Sunder Nagar, the narrow streets of Somvari Bazaar, Liberty Garden, and back to the Link Road; finally ending the trail at the 'discovered yesterday', Panchmukhi Bar and Restaurant. 

At the bar, beer and Old Monk started pouring from the glasses down our throats. Conversations started pouring from our mouths in the environment. A little laugh here, a loud curse there, giggles and smoke circles in the air, the hashers got merry. 

We were also joined by the cult builder, Cum-sulk-cunt for the down-downs. Yeah, she's made it a habit to ensure that she comes to Bombay for all our runs. Then she'd sleep till late, miss the run and attend the down-down sesh. Damn good trick, lady!

We also got a surprise visit from 'No Conditions Apply' who came to Bombay after spending a day at the Nash Hash in Bengaluru. 

And so, after a lovely morning of running a half-marked but beautiful trail set by the hares, down-downs at a local watering hole, and some memories made, some hashers called it a day, and some continued with their drinks. 

Until the next run, ON ON!
