Got a minute? Buy tickets to watch the live recording of BBC Radio’s comedy game show titled Just a Minute at The Comedy Store tonight.

Here’s how it will go: Each of the contestants will speak for one minute on any topic that shows up on the cards. If a player fumbles, repeats a word or moves away from the subject at hand, the whistle blows and the other contestant can take over. This, the special 45th anniversary episode, will feature British comedian and presenter Marcus Brigstocke, Just a Minute regular Paul Merton as well as playwright Anuvab Pal and funnyman Cyrus Broacha, the first two Indians to appear on the show.

It promises to be an evening of fun and spontaneity. Wit or without you.

Let this be the green that accompanies your white and saffron this Republic Day. 

In its fifth cycle, The Sapling Project (see details on http://thesaplingproject.com) will have its truck drive all over Mumbai on January 26, distributing free ready-to-plant saplings. They're aiming at targeting colonies and buildings in need of trees as opposed to the usual plantation drives that target parks and forests. If you insist on paying (because that's just the kind of person you are), you can sponsor a Neem or Ashoka plant for Rs 20. They'll have you commit to caring for it in sickness and in health for two years, following which it can fend for itself. I do.

The sapling truck will make five stops from 9 am to 5 pm (see schedule here). Make way for greener pastures.

Getting there: Visit http://thesaplingproject.com or call 9322131514.

You order a pint, guzzle and then order another. Isn’t that how it goes with beer? So naturally we were intrigued when a beer tasting invitation to swish, sniff and swig a bunch of international brews arrived in our inbox. ‘I accept’ meant a session of nasal appraisal at Woodside All Day Bar & Eatery (Andheri), an event that you can sign up for every month starting February.  That'll be Homer + 1 on the invite, thanks.

Good Head

Conducted by All Things Nice’s Nikhil Agarwal in the bar’s outdoor section, the tasting turned out to be a combination of theory and practical exercises. We don’t have to tell you which was the fun bit.
