MUMBAI: This week Comedy circus is out to set you roll with laughter?..well, what‘s new in that?nothing really except that they are doing it regal style?I mean in a shayarana andaz . Yes, the theme for this week is "Shayari Special" and everyone is putting across their royal best. The show is getting stiff with one jodi being eliminated every week; and this week we have our fabulous five to captivate you with their funny yet clever acts?and the show rolled out something like this??.

• Kamya Punjabi & Rajiv Thakur ? Rajiv played "F M Hussain" and Kamya his muse "Madhuri Dixit". Rajiv did not quite paint a portrait of Madhuri but he sure tried to persuade her with his urdu shayaris and she in turn kept turning him down again in his own style?.(classic example taste of one‘s own medicine)
• Rajesh Kumar & Rajiv Nigam ? They played Akbar and Birbal respectively and was pestering Birbal to entertain him with his shayaris.
• Juhi & VIP ? There‘s was a laugh riot performance where Juhi played herself and VIP was her gay husband. The normal nagging conversations of a miya aur biwi were presented as a shayari.
• Sucheta & Salim ? Both played themselves, actually Salim played an eve-teaser and was annoying with his silly shayaris?.a performance to watch out for??.
• Krushna & Sudesh ? Krushna plays a film producer who is looking for a ghazal writer for his movie and just then meets Keemti Lal Junglee (or Sudesh Lahiri) who comes out with some classic (read nonsensical shayaris).
  

So who are the bottom two jodis and who gets eliminated?to know more watch?

MUMBAI: Yoga, meaning union in Sanskrit, is a composite of ancient spiritual practices, and also a school of spiritual thought that originated in India. It remains a vibrant living tradition and is seen as a means to enlightenment. But how many of us really understand the benefits of it? Yoga is ‘therapeutic‘.

In today‘s world, we, human beings are increasingly becoming dependent on machines, to help us in our daily household chores and also at workplaces. This tends to make us lazy. People work for hours in office seated tightly on to their chairs, leading to total absence of any physical movement. Smoking, eating at odd hours, stress and other factors also lead to early degeneration of the human body. People are inflicted with ailments of the heart, liver and spine, quite early in their lives.

‘Yoga‘ comes to the picture, at this juncture. People hardly have time to work out in gyms. In contrast practice yoga at your leisure and in the comfort of your home. It not only relaxes you, but keeps you fresh, unwinds you and makes you feel energetic throughout the day.

‘No Full Stops‘ takes you through a different world of Yoga with its different forms and benefits.Yoga interlinks mind and body and given the right tools, it can find harmony and heal in itself. No Full Stops‘ takes a sneak peek at Power Yoga, artistic yoga, couple yoga and facial yoga.Power Yoga does not follow a set series of poses. In the west, it‘s described as fitness based approach to vinasa style yoga. Artistic Yoga is a completely new genre of yoga exercising, developed by Himalayan master Bharat Thakur. It is a flow of asanas (yoga positions) combined with pranayama (breathing techniques) that energizes the body and quietens the mind.The couple Yoga celebrates the relationship with yoga therapy,little massage and a lot of heart and soul communication. Isn‘t it romantic? Facial yoga is a series of toning exercises, for the muscles of your face, which claims to erase wrinkles.

So why wait? Tune into TIMES NOW this Saturday and have a spiritual, healing and a relaxing weekend in midst of a stress stricken environment and enhance your life for the better!
