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.

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.
