    Desi Tadka Music Present “Dam Ali” — A Soul-Stirring Qawwali Tribute To Hazrat Ali That Awakens the Spirit of Devotion

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 2: In a world where music often fades into noise, “Dam Ali”, from Desi Tadka Music rises like a divine call — a powerful Sufi qawwali that transcends melody to become a spiritual journey. Sung by three of India’s most celebrated voices — Shabab Sabri, Salman Ali, and Danish Sabri — and composed by the incredibly talented Rameez Sohail, the track is a heartfelt tribute to Hazrat Ali, embodying divine love, unwavering courage, and the luminous essence of spiritual unity. With profound lyrics by Altamash Abbas and immersive direction by Akash Barthwal, “Dam Ali” is an experience.

    Part of BacXtage Season 1, an ambitious musical series by Rameez Sohail, “Dam Ali” is one of seven unique sonic stories under the label Desi Tadka Music. BacXtage is a revolution in Indian music. With hypnotic rhythms and soul-touching verses, “Dam Ali” turns every breath into a chant of “Ali”, leaving the listener in awe, devotion, and trance. This is not a composition; this is Ishq in its highest form.

    7 Songs. 7 Stories. One Powerful Beginning – BacXtage, conceptualised by Rameez Sohail, is a revolutionary platform under Desi Tadka Music that unites raw talent, emotion, and authenticity. Each track is a standalone masterpiece, but together they form a mosaic of India’s spiritual, cultural, and musical essence.

    Yash Hake, CEO of Desi Tadka Music shares “Dam Ali is a spiritual offering. At Desi Tadka Music, our vision has always been to bring back the soul of music, and this qawwali does exactly that. It unites heritage, emotion, and artistry in a way that speaks to every heart. We’re proud to be the platform where such timeless expressions find their voice”

    Shabab Sabri says “Singing ‘Dam Ali’ felt like surrendering to something greater than myself. Every note carries centuries of faith and emotion. It’s not just a tribute — it’s a call to remember, to feel, and to believe in the power of divine love”

    Salman Ali says “From the first line to the last beat, I felt a divine presence guiding us. Dam Ali is an offering from our hearts to the soul of the universe. I hope listeners find the same peace I felt while recording it”

    Danish Sabri says “This is not music, this is Zikr. Dam Ali is a prayer in motion, a remembrance wrapped in rhythm. The energy while recording it was so pure — it felt like Hazrat Ali was with us in spirit. It’s a qawwali that touches the soul”

    Rameez Sohail, the Composer & Creator of BacXtage says “Dam Ali is the heartbeat of BacXtage. It’s where melody meets devotion, where voices echo centuries of faith. This track, and the entire series, is my dream to give India a new sound — pure, timeless, and real”

    Altamash Abbas, Lyricist says “Every word in Dam Ali is born out of reverence. Writing it was a sacred responsibility. I didn’t just pen lyrics — I poured my soul into every verse, hoping to mirror the courage, compassion, and light of Hazrat Ali”

    Akash Barthwal, Director says “Visualising Dam Ali was about capturing the unseen — the energy, the divinity, the emotion behind each note. It’s not just a music video; it’s a visual hymn that lets the viewer see the music and feel the devotion”

  • PAR 3 MASTERS – India’s First-Ever Pitch & Putt Golf Tournament Tour Concludes First Leg with a Spectacular Finale at The Chandigarh Golf Club

    PAR 3 MASTERS – India’s First-Ever Pitch & Putt Golf Tournament Tour Concludes First Leg with a Spectacular Finale at The Chandigarh Golf Club

    Chandigarh [India], July 2: The groundbreaking PAR 3 MASTERS, India’s first-ever Pitch & Putt Golf Tournament Tour, wrapped up the first leg of its India journey with a spectacular finale at the iconic The Chandigarh Golf Club. This innovative format, built around short-game precision and strategy, began its tour in Panchkula and made stops at Oxford Golf Club (Pune), Jammu Tawi Golf Course, and Rambagh Golf Club (Jaipur), before culminating in Chandigarh.

    The event marked a milestone in Indian golf, with over 250 golfers teeing off as early as 5:00 AM, undeterred by the hot and sultry weather. Participants included men, women, seniors, juniors, and special invitees—all united by their passion for the game. The unique Par 3 format, which limited players to just three clubs (including a putter), created a fast-paced, thrilling experience akin to the T20 format in cricket.

    Club President Mr. Ravibir Singh expressed pride in hosting this tournament, stating, “It is indeed a pleasure for The Chandigarh Golf Club to host such an innovative tournament, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all participants. The response has been overwhelming, and this format truly brings a new dimension to the game. The club proposes hosting this on a more regular basis.”

    Club Captain Capt. Mohanbir Singh echoed this sentiment: “This format brought new energy to the club. Our members thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and are already looking forward to future editions.”

    Munish Arora, Founder of Can and Able Entertainment and Promoter of Par 3 Masters, added, “This is golf’s T20 moment—fast, exciting, and accessible. We are proud to bring Pitch & Putt officially to India, under the guidance of the global governing body. Chandigarh has set the tone with a successful finale to the first leg, and we’re excited to expand to more cities post-monsoon. Stay tuned for a major announcement soon.”

    Despite its celebratory nature, the prize distribution ceremony was held with a subdued tone in light of the nation’s mourning over the tragic recent air crash. Organizers respectfully limited the festivities to a simple presentation of awards to category winners.

    M. P. Singh clinched the top spot in the Men’s Category, with Saahir Singh finishing as the runner-up. In the Women’s Category, Roop Aulakh emerged victorious, while Kulwant Kaur took the runner-up position—both delivering impressive performances in this inaugural Pitch & Putt event.

    A separate 9-hole Seniors Tournament also took place, where Brig. D. S. Thukral secured the winner’s title and A. K. Batta claimed the runner-up spot.

    Adding to the competitive excitement were the ‘Closest to the Pin’ contests, which thrilled spectators and players alike. These were won by Dr. Narinder Arora and the tournament’s youngest participant, Nihaal Cheema, both showcasing exceptional accuracy.

    A standout moment of the event came when S. S. Sodhi achieved a hole-in-one on the 9th hole—a rare and celebrated feat that brought a spectacular close to the tournament.

    Tournament integrity was overseen by Tavleen Batra, former professional golfer and trainer, who served as the official referee.

    The event was organized by Can and Able Entertainment, one of India’s leading sports and entertainment management firms. It was presented by Indian Oil, with Royal Ranthambore as the Celebrations Partner and IGP as the Gifting Partner.

    Her academy has become one of India’s most outcome-oriented learning ecosystems, training children to speak, publish, compete, and rise well beyond their years. But the journey wasn’t easy.

    “This didn’t come with a blueprint. It came with breaking things, rebuilding, failing, and showing up again. I’ve had to build everything from scratch—sometimes with doubt around me, and sometimes within me,” Mohan shared in a recent interview.

    Reflecting on the early days, she added, “There were nights I was designing student roadmaps while rocking a crib. There was no backup plan—just purpose”.

    That purpose has translated into concrete, measurable success:

    • Her students have published original books on Amazon before the age of 15
    • Many have launched their own podcasts and built personal brands while still in school
    • Several have placed in the top ranks at national and international competitions in writing and public speaking
    • And her mentorship has helped students secure admissions and interviews at Ivy League and Mini-Ivy institutions

    What sets her apart is her insistence on visibility, voice, and identity, not just academic performance.

    “Our kids aren’t just topping tests. They’re learning how to own a stage, tell their story, and create impact. That’s what real preparation looks like today,” she said.

    Today, Ridhhima’s Academy stands as a model of what happens when grit meets vision. It continues to attract high-potential learners across India and abroad—families who want more than marks: they want transformation.

    About Ridhhima Mohan:

    Ridhhima Mohan is the founder of Ridhhima’s Academy, an award-winning platform that prepares students in public speaking, creative writing, and academic leadership. Built from the ground up through resilience and results, the academy has helped students publish books, win global competitions, and gain admission into prestigious universities worldwide.

  • “India Was, Is, And Will Remain A Maritime Nation”: Naval Chief Inspires Future Leaders At IIM Rohtak

    “India Was, Is, And Will Remain A Maritime Nation”: Naval Chief Inspires Future Leaders At IIM Rohtak

    Rohtak  (Haryana) [India], July 1: Indian Institute of Management Rohtak organised the Induction and Orientation ceremony for the 16th batch of its Post Graduate Programme on 28th June 2025. The event was graced by Chief Guest Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, PVSM, AVSM, NM, Chief of the Naval Staff, and Hon’ble Justice Jain, Judge, High Court of Punjab and Haryana, along with faculty members of the Institute. The incoming cohort includes 329 students from the PGP Batch 16 and 8 DPM-13 scholars.

    Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, in his address to the students of IIM Rohtak, emphasised India’s deep-rooted maritime identity, tracing its origins to the ancient Harappan port city of Lothal, over 6,000 years ago. Declaring that “India was, is, and will always remain a maritime nation,” he underscored the strategic significance of the seas in India’s past, present, and future. With 95% of the nation’s trade by volume traversing maritime routes and 99% of global internet data flowing through undersea cables, he stressed that India’s journey toward becoming ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047 will be powered significantly by maritime strength. Highlighting the Indian Navy’s critical role in protecting these lifelines, he cited recent operations that saved over 400 lives and secured cargo worth more than USD 5.3 billion amidst crises in West Asia. He also noted the Navy’s role as a first responder during the 2025 Myanmar earthquake, reinforcing its position as a humanitarian force in the region. Transitioning to the second part of his address, Admiral Tripathi shared five key leadership lessons from his four-decade career: first, the importance of reading, writing, and reflecting as a means to develop clarity, judgment, and deeper understanding; second, the value of teamwork, stressing that collective success depends on mutual trust and collaboration; third, the essence of leadership, which he defined as empowering others, communicating effectively, taking risks, delegating wisely, and always thinking ahead; fourth, the necessity of sound decision-making, particularly under pressure—a skill critical in both naval command and business leadership; and fifth, the need for resilience, urging students to never give up, as adversity is inevitable but surmountable with self-belief and perseverance. In closing, Admiral Tripathi advised students to take their duties seriously while remaining humble and grounded, reminding them that humility, gratitude, and compassion are vital attributes of lasting leadership. Concluding with a powerful quote from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, he urged students to “dream, dare, and deliver,” inspiring them to pursue excellence and contribute meaningfully to India’s future. His address was received with great enthusiasm and appreciation from both students and faculty.

    Justice Jain, Judge at the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, delivered an inspiring address that urged students to look beyond the boundaries of textbooks and rote learning. He shared his ‘4R’ mantra: Read, Research, Reflect, and Revisit, encouraging students to go beyond superficial learning and truly engage with knowledge by revisiting concepts, participating in discussions, and applying their understanding in real-world contexts. Justice Jain reminded students that true resilience lies not in never falling, but in rising stronger each time.

    Professor Dheeraj Sharma, Director, IIM Rohtak, set the context by outlining the Institute’s vision for management education rooted in purpose, discipline, and national service. He elaborated on IIM Rohtak’s pedagogy of case-based teaching, the rural engagement programme, a strong industry interface, and a focus on yoga and holistic well-being. He emphasized the importance of self-discipline, critical thinking, and responsibility as non-negotiable traits of effective leadership. Drawing from his observations on human behaviour, he reflected on the need for consistency in conduct and urged students to continuously question, learn, and evolve in their leadership journey. He stated that the youth of the nation is most important for India’s VIKSIT BHARAT mission.

    Building on these reflections around leadership and responsibility, Lt. Gen. Balbir Singh Sandhu, AVSM, VSM (Retd.), brought a new perspective grounded in the realities of military service. He delivered an insightful address highlighting the enduring values that shape exemplary leaders. Emphasizing that qualities like courage, discipline, and perseverance are not merely desirable traits but foundational pillars of leadership, he shared how these principles guide action in the face of uncertainty.

    Panel discussions on “Expected Competencies of Management Graduates in Today’s Business Landscape” and “Leadership in the Age of AI” featured insights from seven distinguished leaders representing renowned companies across diverse sectors. As part of its continued efforts to promote intellectual engagement and policy-oriented research, the Institute organized an Essay Writing Competition 2025 for doctoral scholars across the nation on the theme “Contribution of the Indian Armed Forces: Pillars of National Security and Pride.” Four winners were announced for cash prizes ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹25,000.

    Continuing this theme of reflection, Professor Sharma also launched his latest book, Power of Movies, during the ceremony. The book, rooted in the idea that life—much like cinema—unfolds in episodes, invites readers to explore how films reflect the evolving dynamics of society. He encouraged students to observe how cinema goes beyond entertainment to mirror the complexities of the human condition. By engaging critically with films, students can begin to understand the deeper values, emotions, and contradictions that shape individual and collective experiences. Through this launch, Professor Sharma reinforced the importance of thoughtful observation and reflection in developing a more nuanced understanding of the world.

    Over 4,500 Runners Unite for Panchshil Soldierathon Bombay Sappers: A Stirring Salute to the Indian Armed Forces

    Pune (Maharashtra) [India], July 1: In an unforgettable morning of grit, gratitude and glory, more than 4,500 runners converged at the historic Bombay Sappers Parade Ground for the Panchshil Soldierathon Bombay Sappers – a powerful tribute to heroism ,courage & sacrifice of Indian Armed Forces and a monumental leap forward in the Fit Bharat Movement.

    Organized by Fitistan – Ek Fit Bharat, India’s largest community-led fitness initiative, in collaboration with Panchshil Realty, the event brought together soldiers, veterans, civilians, students, and fitness enthusiasts, all united by a shared mission: to run with pride, purpose and patriotism.

    A Run Like No Other

    The event featured three categories — a 10 km timed run, 5 km fun run, and 3 km walk-each resonating with emotion and intent. The flag-off at 6:45 AM by Governor General V. K. Singh and Southern Army Commander Lt. General Dhiraj Seth created a surge of energy and pride across the participants .

    What made this run truly exceptional was the rare opportunity to run shoulder-to-shoulder with Indian Army soldiers – heroes who exemplify valor, discipline and unwavering commitment to the nation.

    Running for a Greater Cause

    Beyond medals and miles, Soldierathon always stood in support of our wounded soldiers of Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre, Kirkee- a sanctuary of healing for soldiers who have sustained life-altering injuries in the line of duty. The event served as a collective expression of respect and responsibility, raising awareness and solidarity for India’s wounded warriors.

    Fitness with Purpose- Patriotism in Motion.

    The soul behind this national movement, Major Surendra Poonia, VSM (Ex-Special Forces) along with Mrs. Shilpa Bhagat, continues to drive Fitistan – Ek Fit Bharat with the vision of creating a healthier, stronger and more united Bharat where fitness becomes a form of tribute to the forces that protect us.

    “Panchshil Soldierathon wasn’t about clocking kilometers. It was about honoring lives. Every step was a salute & tribute . We are deeply indebted to our Indian Army, Military Seniors ,to every runner, volunteer and especially to our partners like Panchshil Realty who made this vision a reality,” said Major Surendra Poonia, VSM.

    “We urge every citizen to adopt the ethics, sacrifice and discipline of our forces not just in times of conflict, but in everyday life. That is the true spirit of nation-building.”
