Pitt-Angeli yoga And this, because sometimes we see black humour in break-ups. When those break-ups involve Hollywood, you agree it is fodder for gossip and some giddy-headed humour.
So, with the entertainment world in overdrive about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie&rsquo;s divorce, trust the wits to put a desi twist to the glam world&rsquo;s talking point.
The current joke doing the rounds is: After hearing of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie&rsquo;s imminent divorce, Baba Ramdev&rsquo;s Patanjali is introducing a new anti-divorce herbal medicine. The yogi is calling it Pitt-Angeli. Breathe, we say.
There&rsquo;s a kind of hush The Controversial Club of India or the Contentious Club of India has become the Quiet Club of India. To give it its real name, The Cricket Club of India (CCI) is gearing for its 82nd Annual General Meet (AGM) and elections on Friday and Saturday. The Code of Conduct for the club came into effect since yesterday.
This means no campaigning in the SoBo club premises. A hush has fallen, after the whirl off late. Premises may be off limits, but there have been a couple of last-minute parties thrown to woo the electorate by supporters of candidates. Like the cricket commentators say, we say too, it&rsquo;s all happenin&rsquo; at the CCI.

All about Alkazi This week is dedicated to theatre doyen Ebrahim Alkazi, on whom a retrospective is currently on at the National Gallery of Modern Art.

Ebrahim Alkazi Directing Art: The Making of a Modern Indian Art World, edited by noted critic Parul Dave-Mukherji, will be launched this evening at Saffronart&rsquo;s stately exhibition space in Prabhadevi by none other than artist Akbar Padamsee.
&ldquo;While the exhibition talks about Alkazi&rsquo;s life in theatre, this book talks about his life in art, thus bringing out different sides to him. In the coming years, we plan to publish five or six more volumes,&rdquo; says Allana. We can&rsquo;t think of a better way to usher in Alkazi&rsquo;s 91st birthday next month.
