VISITORS FROM CHENNAI – A Fantastic Cultural Experience
by Tuan Burns Rajudin
On the 2nd of October 2009, the hash hosted a visit from hashers who journeyed all the way from Chennai, India. This was to reciprocate our visit there last year.
There were at least 30 of them and together with visitors from Dhaka, Singapore and Indonesia, the group converged by the tennis grass courts at the Kiara Annexe to register and collect souvenir t-shirts to mark the occasion. They gathered for a photo shoot prior to the On Call. Hashers from Indonesia also distributed their hash headbands and this added to the colour of the moment.
Max Lal, the Sports Chairman, honoured the hash by making the On Call which saw the group moving towards the direction of the Equestrian Club.
It was up the usual narrow path, with gaping trenches caused by rain and back into the Equestrian Club and out to the hills of Bukit Kiara. The visitors had a good look at the equestrian activities and some took photos of horses and riders in the background. The Kiara slopes were the easy gradual one and then the paper split between the white and the green, the latter signifying the shorter path for the slower hashers. The scribe was only too happy that the hares did this thoughtful gesture and took the green paper path. He was followed by a generous few.
Nevertheless, the slope on Kiara did take the group around and was adequate for the visitors to appreciate the green of our city. Once out, the slow group came up to an old drain and clambered down a well-trodden path by the drain. It was a path that was not there several runs ago. As the group emerged, there were signs of development activity and that proved the scribe’s earlier guess that the well-trodden path was created by workers from our neighbouring country who labour at the site.
It was so nice to see that the fish pond was still there. After that, the green paper run exited on to the road by the golf club that led the group, now under the watchful eye of Bhupi Commando, back towards the Annexe.
The white paper trail was quite a different story apparently. The run was a demanding and long run that led the group to Sungai Penchala and them back to the Annexe about an hour after the green paper group had arrived and enjoyed softies and bananas. It would have been longer had Jane Alka not swept them home.
After showers and donning the souvenir t-shirts, the party converged at Dewan Tan Sri Hamzah for the serious business of afters, like recognising hares and visitors, memorabilia exchanges, songs, laughter and the serious business of inbibitions of libation. The caterer did not disappoint with the Mutton Varuvel. Delightfully, everyone noticed that our-once junior hasher, Richard Francis, was the Assistant DJ for the night. Ex-Pat re-enacted the Gispert story, which was once again well received, and the visitors showed some dance moves that simply mesmerised. This was testimony of how dance is part and parcel of Chennai life and culture.
Whiskey and wine appeared later and Pappan made some visitors remove their shirts in line with a rugby song.
Soon, the visitors’ bus reported in and longdrawn goodbyes had to be exchanged. Chennai, till the next time.
