Khushiyan, the new release comes about a year on from his last hit, ‘Magic’, for which he received much praise from the media and led to him embarking on a global tour of Canada, Dubai and the UK.

Punjabi singer-songwriter and winner of Indian talent show ‘Voice Of Panjab’ competition, Billa Ferozepuria, whose real name is Anantpal Singh, collaborates with AJD to create this catchy, lively single. The lyrics were written by Canadian lyricist Deep Ghanauri. The tune really does evoke happiness, which unsurprisingly is what ‘Khushiyan’ translates into in English, and the message of the song is ‘life is all about happiness.’

AJD is now one of the UK’s most recognised club and wedding DJs, and he recently signed to the record label MOVIEBOX. Khushiyan has been brought to the forefront by hugely talented musicians Kaos’ Productions.

Big names on the Asian music scene have praised AJD’s new single, with DJ H calling it “This year’s party track” and DJ Dips saying “Check out Khushiyan to get you in the party mood!”

Jiah was found dead by her mother at home in Mumbai last week, after hanging herself. A post-mortem confirmed she had committed suicide. She left a six-page suicide note, which blamed an unnamed person for ruining her life.

Although Suraj Pancholi was not with Jiah at the time of her death, police have said they will be charging him for abetting her suicide.

Mr Pancholi and his family are so far yet to comment.

Legal experts have said that the police will need much stronger evidence to charge Pancholi with abetting suicide – due to a new law that came into place in India in 2010. The law states that to charge someone with abetting suicide, it has to be proved that they instigated it or that “there was a clear intention to commit the offence”.

Police in India often charge people under this law, but it is rare for it to lead to a conviction, said correspondents.

The suicide of rising star Jiah Khan, who was born Nafisa Khan, shocked the world of Bollywood last week. She was born in New York and raised in London, and had moved to India to make a career as a Bollywood actress. The 25 year old made her acting debut in 2007 alongside Amitabh Bachchan, in the movie Nishabd. She also starred in the 2008 psychological thriller Ghajini, alongside Amir Khan. Her final film was the 2010 comedy Housefall, in which she played a supporting role.

The fantastic Bhangra star DJ Dips has teamed the best young talent to create this spectacular collaborative new single, Tere Wargi. His other hits include ‘Ik Gal’ ‘Gera De De’, ‘Nachale Sanu Naal’, and he recently provided the music for D-Sarb’s ‘Panni’ and Benny Dhaliwal’s ‘Maa’. DJ Dips is the first choice of producer of many up-and-coming artists – he’s worked with Nav Sidhu, female artist Kee and Arun Sidhu.

DJ Dips and Garry Sandhu have collaborated musically many times before to make brilliant new hits. They’ve released many tracks together during their long-standing musical friendship. Tracks such and ‘Ik Gal’, ‘Din Raat’ and the huge hit ‘Tohar’ have proven that they work well together. Tere Wargi is already looking to be another huge hit to add to the duo’s collection, and this time UK Asian music scene sensation H-Dhami is working on it too. The new track couples traditional Bhangra with a fresh up-do-date sound, without losing the authenticity of the genre.

Spice Man, who stands at an imposing 6ft7 tall, wastes no time in getting as many curries out to the hungry people of Swansea as soon as his shift is over or if he’s meant to be doing a shift as a ‘delivery driver’. He has delivered curry, naans and poppadoms in epic speeds to hungry people far and wide, flying across the city of Swansea with a batch of piping hot curry in his hand.

But how did Spice Man come to be? One night, a young man named Raj Joshi (as he was called before the incident that turned him into a superhero) was sitting at home with his friends Sanjay and Tony in the living room. (He was just an ordinary guy who worked at Spice 2 Go back then.) One of his friends, Sanjay, had recently returned from India, where he’d come across a mysterious looking chilli – it wasn’t green and it wasn’t red… it was a colour no-one had seen before. Sanjay dared Raj and Tony to eat the chilli, but Tony sensibly refused, while Raj jumped at the chance to show off his machoness. Raj popped it in his mouth and began to chew. The chilli was the spiciest thing Raj had ever eaten, and he was used to eating spicy curries on a daily basis. Raj felt himself getting hotter and hotter, when… BOOM! He started transforming into a huge muscly version of himself. He also discovered that he had developed the very special ability of flight, all from eating that magical chilli! To this very day, no-one knows Spice Man’s true identity, except those three friends. And Spice Man continues to this very day, to bring justice to the hungry as the UK’s first Indian superhero.

Spice Man is often found out and about in Swansea, making friends, spreading the word of Spice 2 Go, and handing out delicious curries to the hungry. Keep an eye out for him – you never know when or where he might appear…

The new-look menu’s changes include new dishes such as additional curries, sides, rices, desserts and poppadoms, as well as a totally different design. The menu now opens like barn doors, and is portrait instead of the original landscape design. New offers and deals are also part of Spice 2 Go’s revamp, and these are all laid out on the inside covers in a tempting array.

Not only has the Indian takeaway in Swansea added a whole new range of dishes to choose from, they’ve gone to great lengths to improve and fine-tune all their existing dishes, based on customer feedback and their own meticulous taste-tests; the presentation and taste of all the curries have now been refined to suit the wants of the customers. These changes include making the biryanis more inline with Indian traditions and methods, spicing up the hotter dishes like the Vindahoo? and Mega Madras, and improving the overall presentation of the curries with garnishes.

Specific modifications to the menu include the inclusion of poppadoms, desserts such as Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (in four flavours), a new lamb masala curry, spicy and plain chips, and boxes of Spice Bites (samosas, pakoras and onion bhajis).

The revitalisation coincides with the launch of a brand new website called the Curry Revolution which has all the nutrition and diet-information about the Spice 2 Go dishes, including ingredients and calorie contents. Check out www.curryrevolution.com to find out all about the food at Spice 2 Go.

Spice 2 Go’s mascot Spice Man, a superhero delivery driver, has been spreading the word in and around Swansea, handing out free curries, menus and leaflets to the hungry people of the city.

Since the release of Morni, Sarika has been studying Indian classical music and working on her vocal training. She has been passionate about music since a young age and was born into a family of music-lovers who exposed her to many different genres of music. At just five years old, Sarika could sing in three different languages – Punjabi, English and Hindi, and was also proving to have quite a talent for dancing. She said: “Whilst other kids were playing with their toys or watching cartoons I would be singing songs in front of the mirror all day or putting on a show for my family.”

Sarika’s musical influences cover a wide range, but she particularly looks up to Punjabi singer Surinder Kaur: “I love Surinder Kaur and her music. She was the first Punjabi artist I had listened to and she is probably the main reason why I started singing in Punjabi. Her lyrics and her music taught me so much about Punjabi culture.”

At just 13 years old, Sarika wrote her very first song as a way to express herself after suffering a family tragedy, through which she discovered her passion for song writing. Two years later, at the tender age of 15, Sarika recorded her very first song, which she wrote and composed herself, in a professional recording studio.

During her schooldays, Sarika studied perfoming arts, through which she gained experience and training in lots of different forms of music and dance including Ballet, Bhangra, Contemporary, Giddha, Hip Hop and Jazz.

Sarika has taken part in many musical competitions and shows across the UK, and in 2009, Sarika reached the final of Brit Asia Superstar.

Sarika’s opportunity to launch her career with the release of her debut single Morni in 2012, after she met Nirmal Sidhu and accepted into his vocal training academy. It was with his and Nav Sidhu’s support that she was able to get her career off the ground, which is going from strength to strength.

You can buy Sarika’s second single Punjabi Suit on iTunes and all other good digital stores, and you can watch the official video below!
