Run # 569 Neembada (Wreckless Hideout)

We couldn't stop laughing at the sight of these veterans taking a dip (namesake) in the swimming pool. The water looked very inviting and just as I had a thought of taking a dip; the veterans got out of the pool, removed their clothes (they were wearing pajamas and tees in the pool) and started washing them in the bloody pool. "Beda gard ho inn buddho ka".

And that marked the inauguration of Run # 569. 

However depressing the view of the pool was, the run was exactly what was expected for the last run of the year; all thanks to the wonderful haring effort by the local (we paid him) and the absolute gem of a marking done by Shivaji and Fubar. :P Hashers loved the coutryside, the trail, the lake, the greenery, the jungle, the everything. 

Unanimously, we got 13/10 for this one. Happy 2019 folks!

Back at Neembada, Energiser Bunny could not stop talking about his "apparently" big battery. The hash with it's beloved senior hashers gets entertaining run by run. Also, there were more bitings than we could ever think of. Zafar also distributed some tees from Bangkok hash to the hashers he hates the most. 

The conversations mostly circled around the upcoming Nash Hash 2020 which is hosted by Bombay Hash. Grown ass people started talking like excited teenagers who experienced orgasm for the first time. Well, such is the demand for that event. 

Circle:

Hares Shivaji and Fubar got a 23 sec ovation for this run. The previous record is 21 secs held by Fubar for solo haring.

Wreckless got on the ice for giving us this wonderful venue to run from. 

Wreckless and Vishal got on the ice again for venue and KF 

Run # 568 Bonsai Shining anniversary

So many people from varied fields and you'd expect someone to come forward and write a blog in the absence of the person who usually writes the blog. 

But we are drinkers with a running problem (and apparently also a writing problem). So here are some notes from the run:

1. The run started at Haiko

2. They ran through Powai and made it to Kanjur Marg

3. They had beer

4. It was Bonsai and Shinings 25th Hashing Anniversary. 

Everybody went back home. 

On On!

Run # 567 Halloween at Independence Brewing Company

  

It started getting real spooky at Independence Brewing Company at around 6ish as the dark entities started walking in the gate. Fubar had almost turned into a zombie as the skin kept falling off his face. He also managed to take a big chunk out of Half a Peacock's cheeks, slowly but surely turning her into a zombie too. 

Vinod, the masked guy from Scream, casually walks in and asks about. "There's time to start the mass murders.", says Fubar, raising his glass to him. 

"Where are the hashers meeting?" asks Sangha at the host desk. She is followed by, not yet Yoda. 

By 6.30, the outside of IBC is strolled by zombies, Yoda, vampires, Scream, Guy Fawkes and even Terminator is back, though he kept saying, "I'll be back" for some reason. Maybe he had to take a tinkle. A huge cry for help makes us rush towards a big car parked on the side as the security and Wreckless pull out a man, a devil rather, carrying Fartashaty in a box. 

The highlight costume was that of Wackopedia. He came dressed as Jaideep. Super scary. 

Fashionably late, the bunch walks out of the gate and immediately grabs attention from fellow passerby's.

Less than a km from the run, creatures from the other dimension decide that they are the sons of devils and do not want to follow rules, create mayhem rather and go to a mall. At this thought, all hell breaks loose as the devils turn around making their way to the mall.

Fubar manages to put up a convincing zombie act as he actually makes quiet a few people scream and run hap hazardly on the streets; to a point that he managed to make a security guy run for his life at a multiplex. 

As the ghostly creatures enter Infiniti Mall, they are stopped by security and they wouldn't let us in. 

Outside though, we have our paparazzi moment as we are surrounded by shoppers who are scrambling to take pictures with us. No kidding,

a good 30 minutes was spent at the mall entrance just posing for pictures with families, kids and even some cute looking chics. Sangha was even introduced to Tik Tok as a boy walks up to her and makes a Tik Tok with her.  

We are too smitten to do anything else but drink beer so we head back to IBC as fast as we can. 

And the 567th last supper is a gala event with good beers, good food and fantastic people. 

Beer session highlights:

Hashers living in the vicinity decide to attend the post run down downs

Amol is molested and doggied by the ghost who doggied Farty throughout the run

Everyone is drunk, no glasses break... Or do they? 

Ok bye!

Oh wait... here is a picture of us all.

Run 566 Aman Lodge (Matheran)

Matheran, Monkey Land

The threshold between Dastur and Matheran is a magical place. This is the point where you have to let go of your vehicle and chose your foot or a horses. And this is why, Matheran is a pollution free hill top, filled with trees. The first movers to this jungle were the monkeys, then humans, as always, encroached. Now they try to live together in harmony and the conflicts are hilarious. 

So, it was obvious that a Hash Run in Matheran is not something you would want to miss. And we didn't. 

DYK: Aman Lodge is a Heritage II property, around a 100 years old. 

Early morning pre run convo at Aman Lodge. 

The run was a beautifully marked trail set by the Bawa boys, Baby Dick and Wreckless. The 8km walk in the woods was made easier by the shade of the trees, the morning breeze and the peace of the jungle. Around 2 hours of pure bliss.

                                                                

                         

Back at Aman Lodge, Half a Peacock danced the monkeys away and kept our beers safe and cold. Pre downs downs were spent discussing Nash Hash, chit chatting, feeding the mutts in the property and shooing the notorious monkeys away from our food. 

Circle

Baby Dick and Wreckless did a fantastic job with the marking and the trail. A superb run. They sat on cubes and drank up.

Don't Ask was iced for asking Bonsai who Fubar was. DAMN!

This is Karsten. His mother hash is Bombay Hash. Over his period with us, he taught us zero English but learned good Hindi from us. Then he moved back to Oslo. We couldn't give him a fairwell gift. This time, we didn't want to miss it. We named him. Karsten, by the power vested in Bonsai, GM of Bombay Hash, you shall now be "Looks like cum." Welcome to the family bro. 

Cunt Chinmay and Dickless Deepali are new hashers. This was their first hashing experience. They both wore new shoes and came for the run. We christened the shoes with beer. They drank the beer from the shoe. They'll fit right in. :)

Zafar kept claiming that Aman Lodge belong to him. So Abbas bhai asked him to grace the ice cubes on behalf of himself. Makes me cum represented KF on behalf of VM. Thank you sponsors for the lovely Hashing Sunday.

The ride back to Bombay was equally hilarious with 9 drunkards, one with a "broken leg" boarded the local train and created a rukus of sorts... Ask Half a Peacock for more details.

On On to Run 567.

Run # 565 Huseni Farm

The run was the year was amazing as always. Wackopedia's jinx is finally broken. Inspite of his absence for this one, the rain didn't show us it's lovely face. Also, this has to be the first time in the past many years that it did not rain on a Huseni run.

But the scenic beauty of that place kept us occupied. Hares Shivaji and Fadia spared us the long and treacherous climbs this time and kept the run pretty much on the road. However, Shivaji needs a Haring 101, as his markings were questionable. Well, we'll note it to Fadia's company and whatever happened between them the night before that made them both so lazy. 

The 30+ hashers did finish the run with high spirits, 3 of them took a shortcut; 2 of those were part of the mismanagement. Lazy buggers.

 

Back at the farm, we indulge in some baby monkey pleasure. Yes, while Huseni farm is always a dog friendly place, this time, we also had a baby monkey to give us company. The baby fell from a tree and the mom ran away out of fear. The baby monkey took shelter with the dogs at Huseni farm. True story. 

                                   

Ok, enough Monkey Business. While the rain still eluded us, we made the most of the cool climate under the shed and cold beer always helps. 

Circle:

Shivaji and Fadia for a wonderful, unmarked run!

Shining on the ice

Shining is responsible for acquiring things we need during the run i.e. ice tubs, plates, spoons, barmen uniforms etc. Now, if you notice, he's not sitting in he ice tub, rather he's sitting in the ice box which has all our beers. Not only that, he forgot the slutty nurse uniform which pissed the fuck out of hashers. While the clan kept screaming "Burn the witch", we iced him.

Some hashers in our family are true runners. Take for instance, Assman. This burger, to be dad soon, ran some city marathon (10k) in the morning before him and the Mrs. came to Karjat and even did a walk here. Arey waah! While we couldn't put the mom and the to be born on the ice, Assman had no problem whatsoever.  Unfortunately we don't have a picture of that moment. It's on video I guess... :)

Clit-oh-patra and Ninja was next for shortcutting. For someone who was lagging way behind, they came back to the venue pretty fast. Again, no pic but on video. :)

Shivaji Returns

Shivaji was iced again. Well, Huseni farms is our most awaited run of the year. Shivaji is the reason we get this venue for our spoils. We spoiled him with free beer in an unwashed piss pot and also sang him a brand new song, never sung on the hash before... "Padosan apni murgi ko rakhna sambhal, mera murga hua hai deewana." He couldn't be happier.

After the circle and the anthem, we lined up for the biryani and gave side glances to Shining. He had forgotten the plates and spoons too.  

With a belly full of beer and biryani, everyone apart from drivers slept in the car while 2 hashers walked to the station for a long, tired, dreadful train ride. 

On On! till the next run.

Run # 563 Tribal Route Uksan

Total Bollywood run!

Add caption

Not because we had celebrities running. Not because we played Bollywood songs. But because, after a while, we got a full desi run, NO FIRANGS for this one!

Wackopedia not coming did not ensure rain, it did however ensure an almost 'going to rain' climate. Thanks Wackopedia. 

The run:

Break a Leg, with the help of Santoshji laid a lovely 8 click trail. Being the environment friendly people that we are, we also carried scissors (Break a leg and Farty did) and religiously removed all the tape from the trail. If they were reusable, we'd be sorted. 

Coming back to the run; the trail took us off track a couple of times. Not cos of bad marking, but the scenic location just made us keep walking. Also, the variety of things we picked up from trees kept us really occupied. We picked Jamuns and Mango's and that's it. Also, Half a Peacock mislead a bunch of hashers off the trail with the markings she had on her head. Colouring your hair bright red, a day before the hash, not a good idea.

The trail had a lot to offer. A lovely walk along the lake, followed by a steep incline and a slippery descent onto the road. Offroad again, crawling under a barbed wire fence, walking alongside the lake, cooling off around a broken water pipe were some of the highlights of the run. All in all, 2 hours well spent. 

The trail. 

Back at the venue, there was a musical buzz as we got a BT Speaker to entertain. English Retro was the choice of music for the day. At some point, The Energizer Bunny attracted a cow and almost let the dame in, lousy fucker.

THE CIRCLE:

1. Hares: Break a Leg & Fartashaty

While both struggled to sit in the ice tub, the superb run was cheered with praises from one and all. While a lot of it was repeat from last years run, there is only so much we can do from a country side venue and the effort was applauded. A solid 9/10 run. Rain would have just made it better. 

2. Long Cutters: Just Ria, Doctor Porn & Dickless Harold

All 3 front runners, all 3 were doing great time and then, someone shouted "On Up" and we found them climbing up a dry waterfall, no where a trail and no marking in sight. I think they were upto no good. Now, legend will say that they had a threesome but eyewitnesses claim that Ria recorded while Harold and Rohan went for it. 

They were iced for misleading. 

3. Charges: Dickless Amol & Singing Vangina

Mr. Kalyanpur decided to resurface after a hiatus of 13 years. His ass had to be iced. Singing Vangina on the other hand thought she was gonna walk a fashion ramp and changed into fancy outfit. Her ass was iced too. 

Four. Host and the Red Tape: On a Loop & Half a Peacock

While Horny Yeti was absent, we got On a Loop to grace the ice and thank her for the venue. Half a Peacock was "Peacock on Period" OR "Menstruating Peacock" for the run. She caused a lot of distractions with her short hair coloured redder than the fucking red tape. 

5. Bonsai & Fubar

Wreckless charged the mismanagement with a date gone wrong. Miss. M accepted the charge and the circle was adjourned. 

6. Cunt Sarang

Visiting hasher from Pune could barely contain his laughter with all the nonsense that ensued throughout the circle. He was iced and welcome to the BH3 clan. He promised he'll come for all future runs. Welcome!

First timers could not contain their excitement over the Hash Anthem. Biryani was yum and spicy. 

BUT IT DIDN'T RAIN... so we headed back, high and dry!

On On!
