'People are travelling for our food': India takeaway go viral for 'tangy' treat
A Viral Indian food spot is among the top 10 finalists for the Glasgow Times' Best Takeaway.
Asian Tandoori, based in Cambuslang, is in the running alongside Catch (Netherlee), Chippy Mahal (Kilsyth), Clay Oven Tandoori (Giffnock), Kam Wa Chinese (Glasgow), Levant (Glasgow), Rowans Deli (Glasgow), Spring Garden (Clydebank), The Kraken Chippy (Cambuslang) and Umairs (East Kilbride).
'We're so delighted to be recognised and to reach the final, it's very good news,' Adam Ahmed told the Glasgow Times.

He said: 'This is not just a shop. It's a place where you get free banter and human interaction — which is so important.
'We have good support from the community out there. We have a great connection with our customers.'
He added: 'We also do a deal on Thursdays which is half-price pizza night. It means everybody gets fed an affordable dinner at least once a week, and that gives us a bit of satisfaction.
'I don't know anyone else who's doing that.'

Having posted a video of the creation on TikTok which gathered over 100,000 views, people begun travelling from all over Scotland to try the dish.
Adam said: 'We've had people from Perth, Ayrshire, Greenock and Gourock. People are travelling for our food, and it's expanding our customer base steadily.
'The Chasni Doner has been a big hit. One customer who ordered it came in to tell me they were licking the box after eating it. He said, 'There was just something about it.''
(Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) The dish consists of chips and cheese in a box topped with Doner meat and the Chasni sauce – which offers a unique sweet and sour, almost tangy taste, according to Adam.
The Chasni Doner has also earned Asian Tandoori a nomination for the Just Eat Innovation Award.

It certainly isn't the business' first recognition. To prove it, they even have a spot in their shop dedicated to the trophies and acknowledgement for their stand-out and above-average curries.

Character Swap: Dil Dhadakne Do vs. Succession
It's been 10 years since Dil Dhadakne Do first gave us a front-row seat to the chaos of a rich, emotionally stuck Indian family. But rewatch it now, and tell us this doesn't feel like the Desi version of Succession, just with more choreographed dancing and less corporate jargon. Let's break it down. Kamal Mehra = Logan Roy (But With Better Hair and Worse Shirts) Kamal Mehra might not cuss like Logan Roy, but make no mistake, the man knows how to emotionally bulldoze a room. Both are old-school, self-made patriarchs obsessed with legacy, respect, and making their kids feel like underperforming power is rooted in fear and guilt, and they both have an incredible talent for making every family interaction feel like a board meeting with invisible said, 'You're not serious people.'Kamal said, 'What will people say?'Same vibe, different continent. Neelam Mehra = Caroline Collingwood (But in Pastels) Neelam Mehra doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't even need to. Her carefully curated silences say more than most monologues. Like Caroline Collingwood, she's distant, elegant, and emotionally untouchable. Whether it's Caroline ghosting her kids from a villa or Neelam hosting the perfect dinner while ignoring her daughter's sadness, both know how to maintain appearances while offering very little actual comfort. Ayesha Mehra = Shiv Roy (CEO Material, No One Notices) Runs her own business. Has a husband who's draining. Smarter than every man in the room. Still treated like she's playing dress-up. Shiv fights to take over a company, Ayesha fights to take control of her own life. Honestly? Give them both a bottle of wine and a group chat, they'd fix each other. Kabir Mehra = Kendall Roy (If Kendall Went To Therapy) Both are the sons no one really takes seriously—until they do. Kendall performs power, Kabir avoids it entirely. But deep down? Same wound: a desperate need for their father's approval. They're stuck between rebellion and guilt, ambition and exhaustion. One crashes board meetings, the other crash-lands expectations. Same pressure, different coping mechanisms. Roman Roy = Sunny Gill (The Rebel Who Keeps It Cool) Roman Roy is the loud, messy black sheep who keeps the Roy family meetings way more entertaining (and stressful). Sunny Gill, Farhan Akhtar's character, is the chill black sheep doing his own thing and happily avoiding the family feel trapped as square pegs in round holes, but while Roman's the chaotic wildcard, Sunny's got the perfect 'not my circus, not my monkeys' vibe. Manav Sangha = Tom Wambsgans (But Without the Charm) Married into power. Obsessed with control. Deeply might actually outscore Manav on the empathy scale, and that's saying a lot. Both men exist to remind us that 'nice' guys can still be the worst. Pluto = Greg (The Lovable Underdogs) Pluto, the family dog in Dil Dhadakne Do, might not say much, but he's always there soaking up the chaos with wide-eyed confusion—and honestly, same. Greg Hirsch is basically the human version of Pluto: awkward, trying to fit in with the powerful Roys, and often left confused by the family's drama. Bonus: The Dysfunction Olympics Let's not forget: both families are walking PR disasters hiding behind well-tailored clothes and forced family photos. The Mehras have a cruise. The Roys have a boardroom. Either way, nobody's talking about their feelings and everyone's ready to snap by brunch.

Labrador Caught 'Taking a Bath' by Herself Delights Internet
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video of a dog that managed to "turn the bath on" and was found helping herself to the water has gone viral on TikTok. The clip was shared by @bakedwithlo and has garnered more than 525,000 views since it was posted on June 3. Text overlaid on the video reads: "POV [point of view]: You find your dog taking a bath by herself." The video sees the camera walk toward the bathroom where a black Labrador retriever is standing inside a bathtub. The thumping sound of her tail wagging against the tub can be heard in the background. Hysterical laughter later erupts as the camera goes closer into the bathtub to reveal the dog wetting her head under the running water from the tap. A caption shared with the post says: "When they say labs love water … not sure how she managed to turn the bath on by herself." The pup's love for water is not surprising as Labradors are described as an "enthusiastic" breed with an "innate eagerness" and a love for swimming, notes the American Kennel Club. Water-based activities can also help keep our canine companions cool in hot weather conditions. However, "not every dog is a water baby," says the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA), a veterinary charity based in the United Kingdom. For example, canines with short legs, such as corgis, or ones with short noses, like pugs, find swimming to be difficult. Before allowing your pup to get in the water, they should be examined by a veterinarian for conditions such as arthritis, heart disease or epilepsy, a brain disorder that causes repeated seizures, says the VCA, the animal hospital chain. Dogs should also never be left unsupervised in water. "Even a regular swimmer can get into trouble if they encounter strong currents or can't figure out how to exit a pool," the VCA notes. 'The Happy Tail Thumps' Viewers on TikTok were delighted by the Labrador's adorable bath-time antics in the viral clip. User lenlenny22 said: "Awww she said it's time for a bath." StyleLynne 🇨🇦 simply noted, "It's the tail wagging for me," while Meghan Rose agreed, saying: "Such lab behavior. the happy tail thumps." Ing M noted the pup must have been thinking, "Please! A little privacy!!" and heirsignnnn said: "You totally walked in on her self care time!" Annie wrote: "Next thing you know you'll get exfoliating, hydrating and relaxing products in the mail....." Maggs posted: "She figured it out, so expect to find her in there every time the house gets quiet lol." Newsweek has contacted the original poster for comment via TikTok.

Read the pitch decks 6 music and audio startups used to raise millions
Audio startups are changing how we listen to and discover music. A new crop of companies has emerged to help artists and other audio creators build businesses. We spoke with six audio-startup founders who shared the pitch decks they used to raise funds. Innovation in music tech is on the rise. Startups are building new ways for artists and creators to make and distribute songs and other audio. Some companies, including social-entertainment apps like TikTok and YouTube, are making it easier for artists to get discovered. Platforms like Roblox and Discord have added new formats for artists to reach fans. And generative AI tools like Suno have created a tidal wave of new music while raising new questions about artist compensation in the age of AI. One area of focus among audio startups is finding ways to help artists interact with their most loyal listeners, sometimes called superfans. Sesh built a platform that lets users add "fan cards" of their favorite artists to their smartphone wallets, for example. Hangout created a group-listening platform that enables music fans to stream songs together. "Even with a hundred superfans, you're going to be able to make a living instead of needing to do extra jobs for you to be able to pay for your instruments or your music career," Sesh's CEO, Iñigo-Hubertus Bunzl Pelayo, told Business Insider. Other upstarts are focused on building internal tools for artists and their teams. Offtop built a Dropbox-style platform to help music collaborators share files, for instance. And RealCount offers data analytics for artists on their ticket sales. Investors have poured millions of dollars into audio startups over the last few years. The category has drawn funding from institutional firms like SoftBank Ventures Korea and record labels like Sony Music. BI spoke with six audio-startup founders who've raised money in the past few years about their fundraising process. They each shared the pitch decks they used to win over investors. Read the pitch decks that helped 6 audio startups raise millions of dollars: Note: Pitch decks are sorted by investment stage and size of round. Series A Slipstream Music, a music and sounds library for creators: $7.5 million (13 pages) Seed Hangout, a social-listening platform: $8.2 million (26 pages) Sesh, a fan-engagement platform: $5 million (13 pages) Chartmetric, a music data startup: $2 million (46 pages) Supercast, a podcast subscriptions platform: $2 million (20 pages) Other Spoon, a live audio streaming platform: $60 million total (15 pages)
