WATCH ANUSHKA GO CRAZY... While her band POPs their video virginity On:u00a0Tonight, 10 pm onwards Where: Blue Frog, Mathuradas Mills Compound, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel. ENTRY: Free entry before 9 pm, Rs 500 after 9 pm Call: 40332300 <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/jan/anushka.jpg" border="5" /> You can be sure of one thing when it comes to pop singer Anushka Manchanda. She is absolutely crazy and has no qualms about it. Set to launch her very first video -- I Like Crazy -- with her band Shkabang, it seems that the skinny singer has put a bit of herself into the video. It's random, it's tangential and more importantly, very very fun. "We are all just doing our own things in there," she says. "We are not looking at changing the world, really. We want to have some real good fun and the video is a part of that." The fun, that includes her tied up in an electric chair in one bit and clothed in a pink straitjacket in another, is shot by the drummer of the band, Shiraz Bhattacharya. Shkabang's gig will be followed by a trance-inducing session by Designer Hippies and psychedelia by Z-Machine. BE CHEERLEADER FOR MUMBAI'S MARATHONERS On: Sunday, 6.45 am onwards Where: Trident, Marine Drive, Princess Street Flyover, Metro Junction (Dream Run) and Hinduja Hospital, Shivaji Park, Siddhivinayak Temple, Worli Seaface, Nehru Centre, Haji Ali and Chowpatty (Half and Full Marathon) You haven't been able to get out of your blankets on these wonderfully pleasant mornings, your daily jog has gone for a toss and worse still, you haven't even registered for the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon. Still, nudge the procrastinator in you and board a train to south Mumbai on Sunday. Cheer those who will need your "You can do it" and "Woohoo" slogans to sprint till the finish -- whether it's for lithe athletes in the Full Marathon, gritty citizens in the Half one, mad paraders in the Dream Run or the never-say-die folk in the Senior Citizens' Run and the Wheelchair Event. CRACK A CASE WITH YOUR KIDS On: Sunday at 11 am Where: Prithvi Theatre, Janki Kutir, Juhu Church Road, Juhu. Call: 26149546 Tickets: Rs 150 Watch your kiddos giggle with delight, wiggle their little bodies to song-and-dance sequences and watch a mystery unfold with wide-eyed wonder. The Five Find-Outers, an Enid Blyton series on detective kids, never quite caught our fancy as much as Secret Seven or Famous Five did. But The Mystery of Pantomime Cat, the seventh novel in the series, has somehow appealed to kids and adults alike. Boysie, the pantomime cat, tops the list of suspects when Little Theatre's safe is broken into. Horrid Mr Goon is out to nab Boysie but the Five are convinced something's amiss. Will they crack this case too? Go figure... GET THE GOGGLES, SEE THE SUN On: Today; the eclipse starts at 11.16 am and ends at 3.04 pm. It will be at its greatest phase at 1.18 pm. Where: Nehru Science Centre, Dr E Moses Road, Worli. Call: 24920482 / 24932667 They are not the coolest goggles, but if you have been lucky enough to don them during a solar eclipse, you will remember the rush that came while watching the sun turn into a partly-chomped off Marie biscuit or a diamond ring. Get to the Nehru Science Centre for another heady rush, as the annular Solar Eclipse will see the sun being obscured by up to 64% by the moon, when seen from the city. A word of caution -- do not attempt to watch the celestial wonder with your naked eye or without the solar goggles (on sale at the Centre for Rs 10). The telescope set up by astronomers will ensure a sharper view. CHECK YOUR PLANTS INTO REHAH WITH DOCTOR GREEN On: Today, 9.30 am to 11.30 am Where: Green Grower Garden Centre, Mahatma Gandhi Sew Mandir, opposite Bandra Talao, SV Road, Bandra (W). Call: 9322196654 If you have a green thumb but have no clue on how to keep your babies from pests and diseases, Anusha Babbar might be able to sort out your garden woes. Attend the first session of her "plant clinic", where Anusha, a horticulturist, and another researcher will help you identify pests and bust them, purely through biological means. Anusha runs Green Grower, a division of Pest Control (India) .
