|  Every four years, the world cup comes. They say it’s the cup that counts. And it’s true. The jubilation after winning the world cup in 1992 still remains a deeply cherished memory for most Pakistanis.
This time around, Pakistan cricket team is once again striving to bring the cup home. And this is where cricinfo comes for help. The website works for fans for a variety of reasons. For one thing, the scorecard is updated constantly. If you don’t have access to television or worse, the cable goes out, the website works and keeps up with the game on every over.
Then there is information on each of the 14 teams. We may know some but we certainly don’t know enough about the opposing teams. This is why this website is such a delight. Updated daily, there are columns from experts in the field, debates over the weak link in a team as well as key players.
And if that doesn’t appeal to you, there is a special fantasy game, where once registration is done (for free), a user gets to pick his team under certain guidelines. Coinciding with the ongoing world cup, the users with players, who are performing in the actual game, win points all across.
For cricket buffs, there isn’t a better website around. This one is truly spectacular. Check it out and make your own fantasy team along the way and score points for fun!
Office Space
 This is why you should watch Office Space: it is hilarious. Not the kind of hilarious that will make you snort out words because you’re laughing so hard, but the kind that might make you want to laugh till you cry (or the other way).
Starring Ron Livingston (the infamous Berger on Sex & The City) as the guy who hates his job enough to want to do ‘nothing’ with his life, but likes employment enough to still pull together work, Office Space could easily be anybody’s story. There’s Jennifer Aniston too, during her Friends glory days (this is a 1999 film), being pretty much as inconsequential as she is in any of her films.
The film is based on Mike Judge’s Milton cartoons, but Milton is a kind of minor character in the film. But he is played by Stephen Root who thrilled us for years as Jimmy James in News Radio! And he is this meek, mumbling guy whom you can’t help but thinking is the kind of person responsible for mass murder.
Anyway, Office Space is a film, which in a twisted way will speak to you. The tagline for the film is: Work Sucks. That pretty much sums it up.
 Blocks of Color
Once upon a time the fashion palette was subdued and pops of color was all one needed to bring an outfit together. Today color is the ‘in’ thing and you can go all out in your favourite hue. Think vibrant juicy colors in tunics, dresses and tops. If the stars are anything to go by the red carpet at the Oscars was glammed up with more red in the firm of couture gowns. Shift dresses in indigo were seen at major events. Vogue also featured a fashion spread with neon colors worn with more color blocks in complimentary combinations.
Spring is the season that brings with it the beautiful colors of nature and taking a cue from the flora is always a good idea. This season, we also have the advantage of the lawn season with oodles of designers and a variety of shades to add much needed color into any woman’s wardrobe. Many of the ready to wear brands have picked on the trend and the candy colors are just as delicious as they sound: lemon yellow, turquoise, magenta and purple.
Instepers should go all out and leave caution by the wayside. Indulge your senses with the love of color and wear it with complete confidence!
