00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:15.380
End, here's your reminder.
172
00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:19.410
Build a life that feels good to you, not one
173
00:18:19.470 --> 00:18:21.529
that simply looks good to everyone else.
174
00:18:22.450 --> 00:18:23.990
It's so easy.
175
00:18:23.750 --> 00:18:27.019
To get caught up in what society says success looks like,
176
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.259
but your life doesn't have to follow someone else's blueprint.
177
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.500
Maybe your version of happiness looks completely different and that's okay.
178
00:18:37.420 --> 00:18:41.140
So this week ask yourself, am I living for myself
179
00:18:41.509 --> 00:18:43.730
or for other people's expectations?
180
00:18:44.630 --> 00:18:45.609
Because at the end of.
181
00:18:45.589 --> 00:18:49.950
The day, you have to live your life, not anyone else's.
182
00:18:50.789 --> 00:18:51.470
You've got this.
183
00:18:52.130 --> 00:18:54.190
That's amazing advice.
184
00:18:55.190 --> 00:18:58.880
Great power for the Monday morning for you guys, courtesy
185
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:02.000
of Meera Sharma, right here on the bridge on Ruckus
186
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:02.779
Avenue Radio.
187
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:04.579
Thank you, Meera.
188
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.559
You know, there are a few albums that we're very
189
00:19:08.619 --> 00:19:11.559
excited about here for the fall. Of course, I shared
190
00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:13.299
one of them with you, which is coming out on
191
00:19:13.339 --> 00:19:17.480
the 29th of October. That's Delvinder. Painted Feelings is what
192
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.900
it's called. And then we have God and Audula. who's
193
00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:25.279
dropping two EPs here. And the very first one just
194
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:29.420
dropped on the 25th of September. It's called Aajla, season one.
195
00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:32.380
Here is the lead single. It's called Ashke.
196
00:19:40.190 --> 00:19:45.579
Bhabhi di saanu bakshe Karanatiyan gaani lashke Ni modde paundi
197
00:19:45.779 --> 00:19:50.279
chumrid naali kaike yashke Mir jor bala e pateche Nija
198
00:19:50.339 --> 00:19:54.279
tu saala hathche Tu tigra dekhi jateche Khad jaan da.
199
00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:56.240
Kala gathche Main sita.
200
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:01.269
Chalda puthiyana Bingwal ni saala mathche Lata koi khichda khichle.
201
00:20:00.630 --> 00:20:02.089
Min trust ya nili.
202
00:20:01.710 --> 00:20:06.829
Shatche Saade kam kaale Teriyan galaan dey utne laliyani See
203
00:20:06.950 --> 00:20:07.930
Sony a kiss.
204
00:20:08.009 --> 00:20:09.230
I'm at home in Thailand.
205
00:20:09.250 --> 00:20:10.839
Yeah, I know that the only.
206
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:23.579
Thing that I had yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Baby, you
207
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:25.400
so fire, I miss you so much, I miss you
208
00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:27.200
so much, I miss you so much.
209
00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:29.240
I miss you so much, I miss you so much.
210
00:20:46.529 --> 00:20:49.450
Wherever I keep my feet, my teeth are still there.
211
00:20:49.509 --> 00:20:51.849
I came to the village with a pair of sandals
212
00:20:51.950 --> 00:20:54.289
and a pair of shoes. I didn't want to give
213
00:20:54.410 --> 00:20:56.289
a show-off, so I went to India. I met a girl,
214
00:20:56.309 --> 00:20:59.180
but I couldn't even get a photo of her.
215
00:20:59.299 --> 00:21:03.019
I'm a young man from Siddharth, you're a young man
216
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:04.140
from Taddi.
217
00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:07.079
You're a body girl, I'm a slim girl, and.
218
00:21:06.940 --> 00:21:11.599
I'm a girl from Kamshiri. We're from Tora, Fera, Enam, Raini, Lodha, Gedi.
219
00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:45.359
I don't know what to do Gadan Ajla collaborating with.
220
00:22:13.099 --> 00:22:17.559
One of his best producer collaborators, I think. Mercy Beats.
221
00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:22.460
It's called Audula Season 1. That is the brand new EP.
222
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:24.420
That's the lead single from it.
223
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.420
It's called Ashke.
224
00:22:26.059 --> 00:22:28.759
And a great, great vibe to kick off that album
225
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.000
and the rollout for the whole Audula Season 1 EP.
226
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.779
So big shout out to Karan Audula and a big
227
00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:37.220
shout out to Mercy Beats there. Looking forward to the
228
00:22:37.269 --> 00:22:40.200
rest of the project. And now, folks, let's bring in
229
00:22:40.269 --> 00:22:44.109
Daniel Johnson from the UN
News Department as he brings
230
00:22:44.150 --> 00:22:46.269
you a news break every Monday.
231
00:22:46.529 --> 00:22:47.670
What's up, Daniel?
232
00:22:47.930 --> 00:22:51.269
This is UN News Today with me, Daniel Johnson. The headlines.
233
00:22:52.009 --> 00:22:56.210
Violence in Yemen is causing an alarming hunger spike in children.
234
00:22:56.849 --> 00:23:01.069
How Sudan's people urgently need support to withstand war and
235
00:23:01.089 --> 00:23:05.009
the El Nino climate shock. And in the occupied West Bank.
236
00:23:05.390 --> 00:23:10.099
New Israeli demolitions deepen ethnic cleansing fears. We'll have the details.
237
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.740
Aid agencies in Yemen have warned about the growing hunger
238
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:21.089
emergency sparked by renewed fighting between Houthi opposition forces and
239
00:23:21.150 --> 00:23:25.250
government troops after mobile health clinics reported that hundreds of
240
00:23:25.309 --> 00:23:28.609
children displaced by the violence are suffering the deadliest form
241
00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:33.880
of malnutrition. Of nearly 2,900 children screened, The UN Children's
242
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:36.799
Fund UNICEF said that more than one in four are
243
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:41.390
acutely malnourished, while around 200 were sick with severe acute malnutrition,
244
00:23:41.730 --> 00:23:46.609
which is even more dangerous. Approximately 130,000 people have fled
245
00:23:46.670 --> 00:23:50.250
clashes in the southwest since fighting erupted in recent weeks.
246
00:23:50.710 --> 00:23:55.730
That number includes around 71,000 children, mostly from Taiz governorate.
247
00:23:56.450 --> 00:24:00.500
UNICEF representative in Yemen, Akhil Ayah, described the ordeal of
248
00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:01.660
one displaced family.
249
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.589
We spoke to Haifa, a young mother who fled Yemen's
250
00:24:04.630 --> 00:24:06.609
west coast, and she told us that the sounds of
251
00:24:06.650 --> 00:24:09.829
gunfire were closing in on her house as her house
252
00:24:09.890 --> 00:24:12.190
was shaking. She told us that she didn't have time
253
00:24:12.230 --> 00:24:14.630
to think. She just knew that she had to run
254
00:24:14.990 --> 00:24:17.990
and run quickly with her family. Today, she and her
255
00:24:18.049 --> 00:24:21.109
family live in extreme heat in a side of a
256
00:24:21.170 --> 00:24:23.990
tent with no source of income and they are struggling
257
00:24:24.049 --> 00:24:25.190
for food and medicine.
258
00:24:25.539 --> 00:24:29.200
Providing health care for all those exhausted by repeated displacement
259
00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:32.900
is vitally important, but reaching communities with the highest health
260
00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:37.430
needs is becoming increasingly difficult, the UN World Health Organization said.
261
00:24:38.250 --> 00:24:41.950
To Sudan, where funding shortages are limiting UN efforts to
262
00:24:42.009 --> 00:24:46.309
help communities impacted by ongoing war and displacement, just as
263
00:24:46.470 --> 00:24:49.529
El Nino threatens to bring 30 to 40 percent less
264
00:24:49.589 --> 00:24:53.250
rainfall than usual. In an alert, the food and agriculture
265
00:24:53.289 --> 00:24:58.609
organization FAO warned of worsening food security for farmers, pastoralists
266
00:24:58.869 --> 00:25:03.230
and fishing communities in regions largely reclaimed by government forces
267
00:25:03.549 --> 00:25:07.509
during the protracted war with former paramilitary allies, the RSF.
268
00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:11.259
The agency has several ways of supporting the most vulnerable,
269
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.799
such as vaccinating millions of livestock and providing goats to
270
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.460
displaced women-headed households and mothers so that children have a
271
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:23.079
ready supply of nutritious milk. With more, here's the agency's
272
00:25:23.259 --> 00:25:24.019
Rain Paulson.
273
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.839
The things that we do are really to try and
274
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:31.259
mitigate the impacts of rainfall losses and drought on livestock
275
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:36.579
by ensuring essentially healthy animals to the extent possible. So
276
00:25:36.619 --> 00:25:39.240
this is about ensuring that the body weight of animals
277
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:43.220
are retained, that they're vaccinated against the types of diseases
278
00:25:43.259 --> 00:25:46.220
that will compromise their health, that they have access to
279
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:48.049
animal feed concentrate.
280
00:25:48.569 --> 00:25:52.529
Another successful ongoing project that's brought investment returns of 30
281
00:25:52.529 --> 00:25:57.279
to 1 involves purchasing drought-resistant seed for farmers. From an
282
00:25:57.339 --> 00:26:01.980
initial $ 17 million outlay, farmers produced sorghum crops worth more
283
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:06.500
than $ 500 million. This year, the agency needs $ 193 million
284
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:11.019
to support its initiatives. It is currently only 23% funded.
285
00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:16.440
The situation in the occupied West Bank continues to deteriorate,
286
00:26:16.869 --> 00:26:19.670
The UN Human Rights Office has said, pointing to the
287
00:26:19.910 --> 00:26:24.529
mass destruction of Palestinian villages and forcible transfer of residents
288
00:26:24.869 --> 00:26:28.650
in Safayata, South Hebron Hills. In a call for an
289
00:26:28.690 --> 00:26:33.039
immediate halt to the demolitions, the UN office OHCHR said
290
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.259
that Israeli bulldozers demolished homes, farm buildings, water tanks and
291
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.000
solar panels in the village of Jinba on Wednesday. The
292
00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:44.579
forcible transfer of a civilian population from their land by
293
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.960
an occupying power is a war crime. said Ajit Sungay,
294
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.720
head of OHCHR in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Three more
295
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:57.160
villages in Masafayata have already been almost entirely destroyed in
296
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:02.869
September 2026, OHCHR said, highlighting fears of ethnic cleansing in
297
00:27:02.910 --> 00:27:07.049
the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Overall, there are 12 villages in
298
00:27:07.109 --> 00:27:11.920
Masafayata housing over 1,100 Palestinians, most of whom have owned
299
00:27:12.099 --> 00:27:15.799
and lived on the land for generations. Israeli demolitions of
300
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:20.000
Palestinian homes and infrastructure have displaced 1,500 people in the
301
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:22.839
occupied West Bank so far this year, according to the
302
00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:27.960
UN Aid Coordination Office OCHA. Daniel Johnson, UN News. And
303
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.380
that's the bulletin, but if you'd like to catch up
304
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.109

Thank you, Daniel. Thank you so much.
308
00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:45.339
Daniel appears every Monday here as part of Ruckus Avenue
309
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.400
Radio's partnership with the UN News Department.
310
00:27:49.279 --> 00:28:13.039
Thank you. What should I do?
311
00:28:23.660 --> 00:28:26.490
I don't know what to do without you.
312
00:28:26.569 --> 00:28:30.509
Why is the environment so scary?
313
00:28:30.549 --> 00:28:35.509
The whole of India is looking at you. Glory to
314
00:28:35.549 --> 00:28:38.789
the Lord. I keep my friends and my friends in
315
00:28:38.970 --> 00:28:41.450
my house. I don't know what to do. I don't
316
00:28:41.490 --> 00:28:43.490
know what to do. I keep my friends and my
317
00:28:43.509 --> 00:28:44.650
friends in my house.
318
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:54.099
I don't know.
319
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:57.480
What to say, but you're my crush, you're my crush
320
00:28:57.579 --> 00:29:01.460
It's such a beautiful imagination, they say Ask me, where
321
00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:02.940
did you get the drugs from?
322
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:04.599
They say, you keep them in a big bag We
323
00:29:04.619 --> 00:29:06.920
laugh and you follow us We shout and we get
324
00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:09.920
beaten up every day How many times have we done
325
00:29:09.940 --> 00:29:11.319
this in our lives?
326
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:12.700
Half of the rush is left.
327
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:15.960
Behind, the rest is very deep God's grace and goodness is.
328
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:21.380
With everyone Hania, my love Don't worry about it I understand,
329
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.960
don't worry about it Honey.
330
00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:30.490
I'm here so much attitude and
personality.
331
00:29:28.890 --> 00:29:36.210
Passion Honey, I'm here.
332
00:29:37.150 --> 00:29:43.440
So much attitude and personality packed into this song. My
333
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:46.359
favorite part might be these kind of parting words at
334
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:49.099
the end of the song. A lot of great self-affirmation
335
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:49.660
right there.
336
00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:52.740
It's so funny. This next one we've got for you.
337
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:55.049
The song is called Radha.
338
00:29:56.089 --> 00:29:56.529
Enjoy.
339
00:29:56.549 --> 00:29:57.309
Enjoy.
340
00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:15.829
Why does it keep falling, Radha?
341
00:30:15.849 --> 00:30:16.710
Oh Radha!
342
00:30:16.730 --> 00:30:24.670
My Radha is filled with water in the nest of birds.
343
00:30:24.750 --> 00:30:30.259
These birds have lost their way.
344
00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:15.089
Us ghum chadho lena naam tera kaha mujh se Mere
345
00:31:15.269 --> 00:31:19.450
pank bheege hain paon chalate nahi.
346
00:31:19.609 --> 00:31:24.539
And this jungle mein ek gid bhookha hai Jo mujh
347
00:31:24.690 --> 00:31:25.900
ko dhund.
348
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:32.920
Taar Gar kal sabha tak na ho khuda ki ganimet toh.
349
00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:38.440
Na saas ho na hi aahhte na ye jiwala So
350
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:42.849
tell my mother, Radha, that your son is happy.
351
00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:16.000
Love the vibe. Love the track.

Siddhu is the artist. The song is called Duniya. I
398
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:31.980
was mentioning to you that tomorrow we'll be joined by
399
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:39.559
Shoman Mathur, an interesting artist. He's from Washington, D.C., multi-instrumentalist,
400
00:38:39.699 --> 00:38:41.860
and one of the most talented vocalists that I've heard
401
00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:45.599
from our community here. But he is the front man
402
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:49.800
and the founder of a one-man rock band called Black
403
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.510
Mustang Defense. He's joining us tomorrow.
404
00:38:53.570 --> 00:38:57.269
I don't know who it is. I don't know who
405
00:38:57.510 --> 00:39:11.119
it is. Yesterday I was free, why am I free today?
406
00:39:11.139 --> 00:39:15.730
Yesterday I was free, why am I helpless today? I
407
00:39:16.030 --> 00:39:19.090
don't know who I am, I don't know I don't
408
00:39:19.829 --> 00:39:21.230
know who I am This world Who
knows who it
409
00:39:21.630 --> 00:39:27.050
is This world Is confused.
410
00:39:26.170 --> 00:39:32.409
This world Is confused.
411
00:39:56.420 --> 00:40:02.030
Yesterday, everything was close. Today, look, it's far away. Yesterday,
412
00:40:02.210 --> 00:40:03.329
everything was special.
413
00:40:03.349 --> 00:40:04.329
Today, it's useless.
414
00:40:04.369 --> 00:40:06.530
Neither do we know who it is. Neither do we know.
415
00:40:06.630 --> 00:40:08.349
Neither do we know.
416
00:40:08.150 --> 00:40:09.389
Who it is. This world is a mess.
417
00:40:40.690 --> 00:40:43.000
All the way in from the UK, my brother from
418
00:40:43.059 --> 00:40:45.010
another mother, Sonny Garewal.
419
00:40:45.070 --> 00:40:45.949
How are you, Sonny?
420
00:40:46.130 --> 00:40:46.230
Hey.
421
00:40:47.210 --> 00:40:48.050
I'm doing well, brother.
422
00:40:48.070 --> 00:40:49.090
How are you keeping your cake?
423
00:40:49.329 --> 00:40:49.929
Good, brother.
424
00:40:50.150 --> 00:40:50.469
Good.
425
00:40:50.510 --> 00:40:53.590
Just working away over here, practicing dance moves.
426
00:40:53.989 --> 00:40:55.110
You know, we just put.
427
00:40:55.110 --> 00:40:58.809
Out a brand new show. I was the music supervisor
428
00:40:58.889 --> 00:41:04.349
of a show called Bollywood Dance University. And Bollywood Dance
429
00:41:04.389 --> 00:41:08.090
University is the accompanying documentary to the big Best of
430
00:41:08.150 --> 00:41:11.909
Best show that just got released on Netflix starring Hasan
431
00:41:11.929 --> 00:41:14.889
Minhaj and everybody like that. But, you know, which begs
432
00:41:14.949 --> 00:41:17.989
the question for me, Sonny. You know, what's the dance
433
00:41:18.030 --> 00:41:21.090
scene like over there from this kind of collegiate perspective?
434
00:41:21.110 --> 00:41:23.500
In the US, it's pretty competitive.
435
00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:26.880
We have these like annual events where these colleges get
436
00:41:26.940 --> 00:41:29.539
together and they compete and.
437
00:41:29.699 --> 00:41:32.090
It's a thing. Is there such a thing out there
438
00:41:32.110 --> 00:41:32.440
in the UK?
439
00:41:33.730 --> 00:41:36.650
It's interesting because, bear in mind, I am, you know,
440
00:41:36.670 --> 00:41:40.510
I've batted a half a century right now, right? And
441
00:41:40.610 --> 00:41:44.000
I'm into my 51st year in about a couple of days.
442
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:44.960
Nice.
443
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.559
And so I'll be honest with you. When I was younger,
444
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:49.679
there was never a big thing about dancing. But there
445
00:41:49.699 --> 00:41:52.239
was always these little pockets of people who would have...
446
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.719
dance off but it will be community based it will
447
00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:58.159
be if you're interested in hip hop if you're interested
448
00:41:58.199 --> 00:42:00.300
in break dancing I don't know yeah of course you
449
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:02.280
would know so break dancing was a big thing when
450
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:04.820
I was younger and it was and it was never
451
00:42:04.949 --> 00:42:08.409
recognized as a art form until a lot later at
452
00:42:08.449 --> 00:42:09.969
the time it was just like oh they're sort of
453
00:42:10.010 --> 00:42:13.949
like seedy down underground sort of thing and then but
454
00:42:13.969 --> 00:42:17.309
then when you look at colleges and universities when Michelle
455
00:42:17.349 --> 00:42:21.530
was at university there were these so they had these
456
00:42:21.710 --> 00:42:24.949
you know committees where they would have a Punjabi society,
457
00:42:24.969 --> 00:42:27.369
a Hindi society. They would have had like, you know,
458
00:42:27.409 --> 00:42:30.869
science society, chess board society. But they also have Bhangra
459
00:42:31.070 --> 00:42:35.409
and dance-related ones as well, like ballet or dancing. So
460
00:42:35.730 --> 00:42:39.340
over here, the one that I really conscribe to is
461
00:42:39.380 --> 00:42:43.380
the Bhangra one, right? And it's called Bhangra Showdown and
462
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:45.860
it's called the Bhangra Dance-Off or whatever it's called. There's
463
00:42:45.900 --> 00:42:49.760
about three companies, there's three people who would normally set
464
00:42:49.780 --> 00:42:53.440
this up. And the universities would get together, about five,
465
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:56.070
six big universities would come together and say, look, right, okay,
466
00:42:56.090 --> 00:42:57.090
so what we're going to do is we're going to
467
00:42:57.110 --> 00:42:59.849
do a Bhangra showdown, and you have to pass this, this,
468
00:42:59.889 --> 00:43:02.230
and this. And the judges come on board, and then
469
00:43:02.269 --> 00:43:06.050
they have one night of this massive dance-off against each other.
470
00:43:06.550 --> 00:43:09.449
And then the one who gets to the end gets
471
00:43:09.530 --> 00:43:15.579
crowned Bhangra team or Bhangra university of the year. So
472
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:18.480
that's where, I guess, What you were just referring to
473
00:43:18.619 --> 00:43:19.639
is what we've got.
474
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:20.059
Yeah.
475
00:43:20.579 --> 00:43:20.800
Yeah.
476
00:43:21.139 --> 00:43:24.590
And obviously, you know, we gave you guys the, you know, like,
477
00:43:24.730 --> 00:43:26.670
come dance with me or whatever it's called.
478
00:43:26.750 --> 00:43:27.869
I'm from the BBC, right?
479
00:43:27.989 --> 00:43:30.389
Yeah. Come dance with the stars. So that came from
480
00:43:30.409 --> 00:43:33.840
the BBC. So this country has a lot of heritage
481
00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:36.659
and a lot of, you know, a lot to do
482
00:43:36.699 --> 00:43:37.300
with dancing.
483
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:37.480
Yeah.
484
00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:40.059
Uh, you know, and so as a result, we used
485
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.300
to have dance halls and all of that kind of stuff. So, so,
486
00:43:43.340 --> 00:43:45.019
you know, come dance with whatever it is. I forgot
487
00:43:45.059 --> 00:43:46.579
the name of the show. I'm so, so sorry. I
488
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:49.199
got blank, but it's like, that's the one that.
489
00:43:49.090 --> 00:43:51.750
We watch as a nation. That's interesting.
490
00:43:51.829 --> 00:43:55.559
And, and, Yeah, so that's the one that we would then,
491
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:58.340
you know, watch it. But it would be like, oh,
492
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:00.800
look who's going to be dancing with the stars now.
493
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:01.659
Oh, look what happened.
494
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:04.039
It's only the star element came later on and that
495
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:08.610
was bringing a bigger view. And then obviously that format
496
00:44:08.650 --> 00:44:12.030
has now gone around the world from the BBC. And
497
00:44:12.110 --> 00:44:14.409
as a result, you know, that's the kind of dance
498
00:44:14.510 --> 00:44:15.030
aspect of it.
499
00:44:15.170 --> 00:44:15.889
But here's the thing.
500
00:44:16.550 --> 00:44:18.250
It's the music that brings you in.
501
00:44:18.250 --> 00:44:18.730
That's it, brother.
502
00:44:19.030 --> 00:44:21.210
And I think that's the key thing. And it's funny
503
00:44:21.230 --> 00:44:23.070
because you're the music supervisor. So I guess it must
504
00:44:23.090 --> 00:44:25.510
be really hard for you to think, okay, I need
505
00:44:25.610 --> 00:44:29.010
to be honorable to the, you know, to the dancing.
506
00:44:29.389 --> 00:44:32.090
But I also need to keep my finger on the pulse.
507
00:44:32.110 --> 00:44:34.480
That will bring people in who are probably not interested.
508
00:44:34.539 --> 00:44:37.480
How do you, you know, balance that sort of tight
509
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:41.119
line with the show and also with the current fight guys?
510
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:44.730
Yeah, it was interesting because these were filmed at certain points.
511
00:44:44.969 --> 00:44:48.090
And now, you know, to see those things performed, they
512
00:44:48.139 --> 00:44:51.179
feel dated, or they did at the time. But interesting
513
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:54.320
enough in... In some of the scenes, we did recreate
514
00:44:54.380 --> 00:44:57.960
music to kind of modernize different things and add different
515
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.079
effects to make it kind of come together. And that's,
516
00:45:00.139 --> 00:45:02.119
I guess, a musical trick that we used in the
517
00:45:02.139 --> 00:45:04.239
background there to kind of enhance what they were doing
518
00:45:04.260 --> 00:45:06.610
there with their mixes. But, you know, if there was
519
00:45:06.650 --> 00:45:09.610
anything that I took away from it, Sonny, was just
520
00:45:09.730 --> 00:45:13.409
the personal investment that each of the dancers made into
521
00:45:13.489 --> 00:45:14.090
each of their.
522
00:45:13.949 --> 00:45:17.719
Teams throughout the year. It almost felt like, to me.
523
00:45:18.500 --> 00:45:21.179
I was watching the story of like a local football
524
00:45:21.219 --> 00:45:24.099
team or something, you know, where the play, you know,
525
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:26.719
each of them were coming together. They felt a responsibility.
526
00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:29.440
There were roles that they were being counted on for
527
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:32.920
the greater good. And then the story itself, the arc follows,
528
00:45:32.980 --> 00:45:35.139
you know, this, a couple of the dance groups, of course,
529
00:45:35.179 --> 00:45:38.550
and how somebody wins and et cetera, et cetera. I'm
530
00:45:38.630 --> 00:45:40.250
not going to give me spoilers out there, but just
531
00:45:40.269 --> 00:45:42.670
so in case you haven't seen it, but it, to me,
532
00:45:43.659 --> 00:45:48.269
Just how much each of them gave the routine, not
533
00:45:48.389 --> 00:45:51.360
only in the actual confines of the dance group and
534
00:45:51.380 --> 00:45:54.320
the rehearsals and the actual performance, but just on a
535
00:45:54.380 --> 00:45:55.079
personal level.
536
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:56.760
That, to me, was really interesting.
537
00:45:56.780 --> 00:45:56.860
Yeah.
538
00:45:58.340 --> 00:46:01.769
And also the platform they've got, they're on Netflix, right?
539
00:46:01.869 --> 00:46:04.429
And so it's going to be filmed. So I guess
540
00:46:04.449 --> 00:46:07.030
they had that much more that is not just going
541
00:46:07.050 --> 00:46:10.309
to be performed to a live studio audience. And whoever's
542
00:46:10.349 --> 00:46:12.170
in that room will see this is going to be
543
00:46:12.230 --> 00:46:12.909
witnessed by them.
544
00:46:13.130 --> 00:46:13.739
There's going to be.
545
00:46:14.030 --> 00:46:16.090
Probably immortalized I mean it's going to be there for
546
00:46:16.210 --> 00:46:21.219
archival and for continuous time does that add I guess
547
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.920
that must add another layer of pressure on them in
548
00:46:23.980 --> 00:46:24.599
some way shape or.
549
00:46:24.619 --> 00:46:27.199
Form it's got to you know their whole story is
550
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.519
being told out there but you know I think it
551
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:34.260
was generally very positive I think everybody all the teams
552
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:38.400
and the participants in the documentary did great and you
553
00:46:38.420 --> 00:46:40.079
know because I think the documentary has a little bit
554
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:41.659
more of an arc to it in terms of the
555
00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:42.739
actual culture you.
556
00:46:42.699 --> 00:46:45.480
Know The film was a little bit more, you know,
557
00:46:45.500 --> 00:46:46.860
a little bit more Hollywoodized.
558
00:46:46.989 --> 00:46:49.340
And so there's like elements of the actual experience that
559
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:52.269
we're missing. But the documentary did a great job of that. But,
560
00:46:52.429 --> 00:46:54.849
you know, I was just curious because I see it
561
00:46:54.909 --> 00:46:57.670
here in the U.S. and it's evolved so much over
562
00:46:57.710 --> 00:47:00.289
this generation of last, I would say, 20, 30 years
563
00:47:00.329 --> 00:47:03.250
from being, you know, just a few different Bhangra groups
564
00:47:03.329 --> 00:47:05.949
or different dance groups that are happening to men. These
565
00:47:05.989 --> 00:47:08.329
guys are like full on like clubs that are like
566
00:47:08.369 --> 00:47:11.809
being passed down from student year to student year and
567
00:47:11.869 --> 00:47:12.750
fascinating to watch.
568
00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:14.699
Oh, a hundred percent.
569
00:47:14.739 --> 00:47:17.559
And it's nice that, you know, like they say, don't they,
570
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:19.239
if you want to get rid of a culture, if
571
00:47:19.260 --> 00:47:23.420
you want to shut down a practice of a certain.
572
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:24.739
People, get rid of their language. Right.
573
00:47:25.260 --> 00:47:28.739
And alongside that, there's also the music element of it
574
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:31.510
and also the way we move to our music. So
575
00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:34.570
if you can keep those elements alive, which is almost
576
00:47:34.670 --> 00:47:37.130
like part of your DNA, like the heartbeat, that heart,
577
00:47:37.289 --> 00:47:40.190
you know, there's always a rhythm to life. So I guess,
578
00:47:41.050 --> 00:47:43.619
I guess this is what the rhythm to our lives.
579
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:45.449
No matter where I am in the world, if I
580
00:47:45.489 --> 00:47:50.269
hear at all, I'm going back. I'm up.
581
00:47:50.789 --> 00:47:53.130
That's my people. Let's go. We're my tribe.
582
00:47:53.309 --> 00:47:54.730
Let's go, man.
583
00:47:54.769 --> 00:47:55.269
Let's go.
584
00:47:55.849 --> 00:47:57.969
I guess that's the state for someone who probably hears
585
00:47:58.010 --> 00:48:00.769
the bagpipes. That's right, Sonny.
586
00:48:00.809 --> 00:48:02.110
That's right.
587
00:48:02.210 --> 00:48:03.409
I'm going to take on the world.
588
00:48:03.489 --> 00:48:05.530
It tugs at our heart like nothing else.
589
00:48:06.070 --> 00:48:06.489
It does.
590
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:11.820
I love it, Sonny. Two guys that have probably not
591
00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:14.179
a foot of dance in us or an inch of
592
00:48:14.219 --> 00:48:17.380
dance capability in us both. Breaking down the dance scene
593
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:18.019
out there, Sonny.
594
00:48:18.059 --> 00:48:20.440
How about that? Thanks so much for joining me today, brother.
595
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.320
This has been fun. It's always a pleasure.
596
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:23.880
God bless.
597
00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:24.489
Take care, brother.
598
00:48:24.570 --> 00:48:27.099
Thank you, Sonny. Here's the next song for you guys.
599
00:48:47.380 --> 00:48:51.239
600
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:54.219
601
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.219
602
00:48:57.260 --> 00:49:00.090
603
00:49:00.110 --> 00:49:03.230
604
00:49:03.269 --> 00:49:06.409
605
00:49:06.469 --> 00:49:09.449
606
00:49:09.469 --> 00:49:12.150
607
00:49:12.170 --> 00:49:14.519
They don't open their doors, they don't make
608
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:16.960
their doors open They don't make their doors open, they
609
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:22.280
don't make their doors open poppy on coming albums. I
610
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.119
don't make a cap on worldwide greenery. I don't make
611
00:49:25.250 --> 00:49:27.250
a cap when I see myself drowning. I don't make
612
00:49:27.389 --> 00:49:33.250
a lot of money by doing little things.
613
00:49:33.269 --> 00:49:36.289
614
00:49:36.369 --> 00:49:38.900

Now let's bring in Doita Dasgupta, who's got today's artist
649
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:26.579
spotlight for you.
650
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:27.619
Hi, everyone.
651
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:31.260
This is Doita Dasgupta, your Ruckus Avenue radio music correspondent,
652
00:52:31.340 --> 00:52:34.329
back with another artist spotlight. Today on The Bridge, we're
653
00:52:34.349 --> 00:52:38.530
spotlighting Rashmeet Gaur, the singer, songwriter, and performer whose powerful
654
00:52:38.590 --> 00:52:42.590
blend of Punjabi folk, Sufi music, hip-hop and contemporary pop
655
00:52:42.630 --> 00:52:45.159
has made her one of the most distinctive voices in
656
00:52:45.219 --> 00:52:48.400
Indian music today. Born in Punjab and raised in Delhi,
657
00:52:48.500 --> 00:52:52.400
Rashmi first gained attention through reality singing competitions before breaking
658
00:52:52.460 --> 00:52:56.679
into the mainstream with massive hits like Nadi Opar, Bajre Desita,
659
00:52:57.010 --> 00:53:00.710
Ish Nachawe and Khana Kasuta. Known for staying deeply connected
660
00:53:00.750 --> 00:53:04.610
to her musical roots while constantly experimenting with sound, Rashmeet
661
00:53:04.650 --> 00:53:08.969
has continued evolving her artistry through both Bollywood and independent music.
662
00:53:09.530 --> 00:53:13.300
In 2026, she's already released new tracks including Kaur Bat,
663
00:53:13.780 --> 00:53:17.940
Omran and her latest single Chore, showcasing a more emotional
664
00:53:18.179 --> 00:53:22.380
and introspective side of her music. She's also continued collaborating
665
00:53:22.530 --> 00:53:26.019
on film and soundtrack music, including the trending version of
666
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:30.719
Dil Hai Ranjana with composer Shashwat Sachdev. Beyond streaming success,
667
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:34.000
Rashmeet has also been making waves live, recently closing out
668
00:53:34.059 --> 00:53:38.590
Delhi University's 2026 fest season with a major performance at
669
00:53:38.650 --> 00:53:43.289
Hindu College's Mecca Festival. With her soulful vocals, fearless creativity,
670
00:53:43.449 --> 00:53:46.989
and ability to bridge tradition with modern sound, Rashmeet Kaur
671
00:53:47.030 --> 00:53:49.699
continues to prove why she's one of the most exciting
672
00:53:49.760 --> 00:53:52.800
and authentic artists in South Asian music right now. Well,
673
00:53:52.820 --> 00:53:55.500
that's all from me. Stay tuned for more only on
674
00:53:55.539 --> 00:53:56.820
Ruckus Avenue Radio.
675
00:53:57.900 --> 00:54:00.760
Thank you so much for that, Doita. Thank you so
676
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:04.949
much for that artist spotlight there. Rashmeet Kaur, certainly one
677
00:54:04.969 --> 00:54:07.510
of our favorite artists here on the bridge. And we
678
00:54:07.550 --> 00:54:12.269
had an exclusive conversation with her earlier this year. One
679
00:54:12.289 --> 00:54:15.510

681
00:54:18.730 --> 00:54:30.449
Ve Sajna Kaatu Kaise Ye Ratiya.

Ve Sajna.
683
00:54:34.860 --> 00:54:44.460
How can I spend this night without you? I search
684
00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:50.190
for your traces You steal.
685
00:54:50.090 --> 00:54:58.570
My eyes How can I spend this night?
686
00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:07.070
Be 10 or better.
687
00:55:38.309 --> 00:55:40.949
Two eyes met, no work was left.
688
00:55:40.789 --> 00:55:46.579
Two eyes met, they became stars One eye met, the
689
00:55:47.219 --> 00:55:52.639
path was difficult Only two moments of life were left.
690
00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:14.789
Oh my love, how do I spend this night?
691
00:56:14.889 --> 00:56:20.699
Oh my love, how do I.
692
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:41.630
Spend this night? How can I stay quiet?
693
00:56:41.789 --> 00:56:50.030
I haven't seen anyone like you How can I say anything?
694
00:56:50.050 --> 00:56:53.630
I won't say anything.
695
00:57:08.860 --> 00:57:24.599
Ve sajna, kathu kaise ye ratiya.
696
00:57:21.090 --> 00:57:26.610
Ve sajna, vite.
697
00:57:25.949 --> 00:57:38.909
Na bitaye ratiya.
698
00:57:33.750 --> 00:57:36.809
Rashmeet Kaur everybody, this song is called Ve Sajna.

00:57:38.219 --> 00:57:39.119

700
00:57:39.099 --> 00:57:42.579
Great time hanging out with me today over this last hour.
701
00:57:43.519 --> 00:57:46.320
Certainly enjoyed this hour. We'll be back tomorrow with that
702
00:57:46.460 --> 00:57:49.219
exclusive interview with Shoman Mator, as I mentioned to you.
703
00:57:49.980 --> 00:57:52.900
And we'll leave you with Arjit Singh, who I can't
704
00:57:52.940 --> 00:57:56.900
decide if he is retired or not. He keeps dropping material.
705
00:57:57.679 --> 00:57:59.659
And this isn't the only new song that he has
706
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:02.889
put out over the recent weeks. But this song is
707
00:58:02.929 --> 00:58:04.369
called Tu Hi Dista.
708
00:58:04.710 --> 00:58:05.630
Have a great day, everybody.
709
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:54.090
I'm stuck here
710
00:59:56.969 --> 00:59:57.719
Thank you.
