Wet Wetlands

Sunday around 7am it was wet and cold so only Jaap (back from his travels) and Zoria (waiting to go on holiday) made it to the ITC to go to the Wetlands. So they walked around the wetlands and had breakfast à deux at The Taj.

Considering the dismal turnout, given that regular hashers are still on holiday –traveling in the Amazons like Pradeep and Bonani, still in Europe like Siddiqui – I’ve organized a rent a crowd (as Zoria would put it) for this Sunday’s visit to Kumartuli the neighbourhood of the Potters of Calcutta! And as most are allergic to early mornings, we can meet at Anand South Indian Restaurant on Central Avenue a little after Statesman House at 9 am on Sunday 18th September, 2005. After breakfast we will proceed to Kumartulli hoping that it is a nice sunny day with blue skies and white fluffy clouds that herald the coming of Sharat, the festive season of Bengal. The mornings have been wet and rainy and so if we start the day a little later, we may get blue skies and we’ll definitely get more people. To name some –
Saw, Tanya, Shradha, Amit, Manas, and friends of Rosie & Peter who are themselves back from Nepal. Doc will be around to give us his wise explanations of the religious, sociological, cultural aspects of the Durga Puja celebrations.

For newcomers the Sunday Hash Group is a group of people who discover different neighbourhoods of Calcutta by foot on Sunday mornings. We’ll be happy if you’ll join us this Sunday. We will collect funds (Min. Rs.100) towards the breakfast at Anand. All are welcome to join us.
Bring camera, umbrellas or sunscreen ;-D
See you there Sunday morning.
