What an incredible year for ‘Lala’

On February 19, legendary Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi (Lala) announced his retirement from International cricket.

“I have said goodbye to international cricket,” Afridi said during the PSL 2017 match at Sharjah. “I am playing for my fans and will continue to play this league for another two years but it’s goodbye from international cricket. Now my foundation is important for me. I have played with seriousness and in a professional way for my country.”

On February 27, Damien Chazelle‘s colorful musical and bittersweet love story, Lala Land, won the Oscars’ most prestigious prize, the Best Picture trophy. The movie stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a musician and an aspiring actress, who meet and fall in love at Los Angeles.
