We weren't many hashers at the Victoria Memorial for the early morning walk which prompts me to make the monsoon walks a bimonthly affair till the weather improves. Though the rains held off during our walk, we did have to skirt a few pools of water. The sun was up and with all the humidity in the air, it was certainly muggy. Moreover we don't want people slipping on mossy paths.

As the Chat Junction was still closed, we ended up at Flury's (taking advantage of the fact that Zoria was in England- Sorry Zoria for waking you up). We were pleasantly surprised to receive our orders within 5 minutes! However we aren't likely to go back there for other Hash breakfasts.

The Taj will receive us only on the first Sunday of the month. Rajesh and Payal have invited us to their home for breakfast on 22 and we will discuss hash funds.
Payal will have a stall at the Akarshan exhibition at the Ice Skating Rink starting tomorrow for 3 days. Don't miss her Art Bunker stall as you can stock up on lovely gifts like candles, soaps, wooden handicrafts and other quite ingenious gift items.

So the schedule now is as follows.
22 July 7:30 am Swabhumi Lakes Breakfast at Rajesh Nath's
5 August Botanics followed by breakfast at Taj

Guest hashers : 200

On 1 July, we had quite a crowd at the Botanics. We had an hour longwalk with newcomers Marco brought by Francesca, Tuna brought by me,and Chi brought by Vineet. A lot of amateur photography of flowers andof course of the Banyan tree ensures good turnout at the Botanics.Good to see Gherda and Rajesh Nath after a long break.
