Punjab 1799–1849 Comes Alive: Heartwarming Youth Art Showcase Lights Up the Windy City Colors of Courage; Over 30 Young Talents Revive Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s Golden Era on Canvas Asian Media USA © Chicago, IL: In the heart of Schaumburg, Illinois, on a crisp Sunday morning of January 18, 2026, the National India Hub transformed into a vibrant canvas of history, creativity, and cultural pride. The Punjabi Cultural Society (PCS)  of Chicago hosted its second annual Youth Art and Drawing Competition, drawing over 30 young participants from elementary, middle, and high school levels. The theme “Punjab in the Era 1799–1849,” spotlighting the majestic Sikh Empire under Maharaja Ranjit Singh invited children to reimagine a pivotal chapter in Punjabi history through pencils, colors, and boundless imagination. This wasn’t merely an art contest; it was a living bridge between generations, connecting diaspora youth to their ancestral roots. Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the legendary “Lion of Punjab,” unified the region after capturing Lahore in 1799, forging a secular empire renowned for religious tolerance, military prowess, and cultural flourishing until its fall to British forces in 1849. The young artists depicted scenes of grandeur: fortified Lahore, golden domes of the Harmandir Sahib shimmering under Ranjit Singh’s […]

Asian Media USA © Chicago, IL: In a market saturated with generalized supplements, Viti Vitamins is taking a focused approach to a widely misunderstood issue: migraines and headaches. Founded by neurologist Dr. Pravesh Saini and product strategist Anshika Saini, the Los Angeles–based wellness brand delivers essential nutrients for individuals seeking consistent, proactive daily support for chronic headaches. The idea for Viti Vitamins emerged directly from Dr. Saini’s clinical experience. After years of treating patients, he grew increasingly frustrated with the limitations of over-the-counter options. “Patients were looking for preventative care, but the market offered fragmented solutions,” says Dr. Saini. “Most products focused on a single ingredient, like magnesium or B2, forcing people to piece together multiple supplements. It was expensive, confusing, and unsustainable.” That frustration became the foundation for Viti Vitamins: a clean, comprehensive, neurologist-backed alternative designed for reliable daily use, free from artificial dyes, fillers, sweeteners, and stimulants. The brand’s debut product, Viti Vitamins Migraine Support Gummies, reflects this philosophy. The gummies feature a first-of-its-kind blend of six clinically supported nutrients commonly recommended for migraine support: Magnesium, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, CoQ10, Feverfew, and Ginger. Designed for consistency, the formula supports healthy nerve function and is vegan, preservative-free, gelatin-free, […]
