There is perhaps no name more frequently heard and celebrated than that of the internationally renowned artist, Diljit Dosanjh. His success defies measurement by words alone.

Every media outlet, international platform, artist, and the film and music industry reverberates with his name. Yet, Diljit Dosanjh's journey isn't merely a stroke of luck. He embarked on his musical career two decades ago, singing Punjabi songs. Despite challenges and in the absence of social media, he dedicated himself to honing his craft day by day.

Then came Punjabi cinema, revealing another facet of his artistry. Not content with just singing, he displayed his acting prowess, excelling in both comedy and profound roles that resonated deeply, such as in Punjab 1984. Despite his talent, Diljit refrained from self-promotion.

However, one fine day, the world awoke to the era of Diljit. It began with Bollywood films, including the impactful Chamkila directed by Imtiaz Ali, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, depicting the life of the legendary singer Chamkila.

This was just one chapter in Diljit's journey; more was yet to unfold. His live shows became legendary, none more so than his Dil-luminati Tour in Canada, where he filled the entire BC Stadium in Vancouver, captivating audiences with his humility, talent, and wide-reaching appeal.

Another milestone came when he graced the prestigious Jimmy Fallon show, showcasing his modest smile and supported by his close-knit family, including his manager Sonali Singh, who played a pivotal role alongside a few close friends. Diljit walked with the grace of a king, his impact felt in cities, villages, suburbs, and in the hearts and minds of many.

Despite his global fame, Diljit remains grounded, never forgetting his roots. His collaborations with international artists, like his memorable Punjabi song with Ed Sheeran, highlight his broad appeal and musical versatility. His humility and humanity shine through, evident in how he steps back from the limelight when the clamor of his popularity becomes overwhelming.

Did I mention his potential Grammy win? It seems inevitable. Diljit Dosanjh, a name destined for greatness, is not just an artist but a phenomenon, leaving an indelible mark on the world stage.

Title: Whispers of Darkness: The Haunting Tale of 'Monster of Florence

Jasmine Singh Weather has pretty much changed in Canada; well, let's just say not for good. Darkness seeps in fast, and sometimes this darkness gets to your mind, leaving you unsure of what to do. Here, I was staged by this darkness, and then in dark crevices, I found a limited web series about the first serial killer of Italy. Thus, director Stefano Sollima’s four-part examination of Italy’s notorious “Mostro di Firenze” murders, which left a trail of 16 dead bodies between 1968 and 1985, can only hint strongly at the identity of the perpetrator. The individual in question vanishe
