After the retirement of the chief boxing protagonists (literally and metaphorically), an uneasy peace prevails these days in that jinxed Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) boardroom (Vastu geomancery — divination by figures, lines or geographic features — exponents have allegedly fainted just looking at the building) on D. N. Road. Chairs no longer fly; incestuous relationships with maternal relatives are not alleged; the three lady trustees are not embarrassed; and the undertone though ice cold is not impolite. Until the famous tenancy issue comes up for discussion. Then, even this somewhat insipid asparagus Board becomes very agitated.
