The Wet Wetlands Run
RA Sex Guru’s Farewell Hash The Wet Wetlands Run on 22nd April 2006A 21 Hasher salute
21 hashers were on the truck when it finally reached the Wetlands. We had posed for Hash Flash Sex Guru behind some spotted Dalmatians beside the Birla Temple. The beers were bought and loaded onto the truck but we had to stop enroute for ice and cold drinks for the beer tub. We took the by lanes of Calcutta and enjoyed the view.
Ian Odious Complex finally made it to his first KRH3 Hash Run. A lot of new shoes. Nupur and Purna cousins or nieces of Fiddler-Fiddlee. Rory and Alice from Wales invited to join by Why was he born at all? Ashish who forgot to mention to them that they would have to ramble in the countryside and should wear appropriate shoes. Tony brought his daughter Simar and her friend from Bangalore. Sexy Legs Chiru and I, usually ringleaders in bringing unsuspecting virgin hashers into the hash fold, couldn’t con anyone into joining. Two of Saw’s friends joined from the ITC and had to walk a bit to beyond the Police station and Journey to the Sun where the truck could be parked to pick them up.
We walked around the Wetlands where we had done DD’s returning hasher from China walk . Alice from Wales walked barefoot all the way even over the bamboo bridges but didn’t complain at all. Luckily French Whine wasn’t there to whine about the run although he was in town for Saw’s Farewell bash at Lilly’s in The Statesman House on Wednesday.
Odious Complex and Tony didn’t trust Ashish and Duck Suck to find the trail back so backtracked half way through the run while the rest of us reached back at 5 p.m. after a 45 min walk.
We then started the down downs. All the newcomers got down downs and Sex Guru as RA was only interested in baptizing the virgin harriets with a makeshift rod. RA Sex Guru Saw was given a Farewell Silver Beer Mug wrapped with a red headband promoting Perth as Interhash 2007. There were a few down downs for inappropriate hash gear and shoes including Sexy Legs in jeans. We then attacked the peanuts and chips.
We started back on the truck all set on finishing the last of the two cartons of beer. Before we were out of the wetlands, there was a Kalbaishakhi or nor’easterlies and we all got wet in the rains. Ashish was wearing his Southern Sojourn Monsoon Madness ragged white t shirt from Nash Hash 2005 and had to give that to one of Fiddler’s young drenched nieces or cousins to cover herself. DD and I shivered along, me in my grey Chittagong hash wet Tshirt. We all looked like drowned ducks all because RA Emeritus Bean Town Billy was orchestrating the rains from afar and wrote " sounds like fun so Double D and I will be there in spirit but if only to see you get wet again. Big hug ."
Sexy Legs Chiru was nominated the new RA and was blessed by the April shower. By the time we crossed the flyover, the downpour was over. So ended RA Sex Guru Saw’s farewell Hash. If I was writing the Sunday hash report I’d have said the Calcutta skies shed a few tears over’s Saw’s departure but since this is the revolutionaries I’ll just say that even the Heavens were pissed!
