The English Asian Business Awards are a celebration to showcase the determination, hard work and personal achievements of the English Asian business men and women at the forefront of their industries.

Embodying the continuing strength of the Asian business community, these awards recognise those indi-viduals, businesses and organisations with vision, courage, and creativity which have led to their success.

The prestigious ceremony has been held annually since their inception in 2012. With rising stars jostling with the well established names, the event itself has grown into a highly respected outlet where the best and brightest are honoured.

Good luck to all the �nalists and thank you all for attending.

LOCAL 5-YEAR-OLD BECOMES YOUNGEST CERTIFIED MICROSOFT COMPUTER SPECIALIST

READ THE LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES ON OUR WEBSITE: WWW.THEASIANTODAY.COM

A Birmingham based 5-year-old boy has become the youngest-ever certified

Microsoft Computer Specialist. Ayan Qureshi took the exam at the age of five and overtook Pakistani Mehroz Yawar for the coveted title. Speaking to The Asian Today he described how he felt.

"I developed an interest in computers at a very early age. I used to sit next to my dad, watching

him working on computers and hi-tech stuff. That was the turning point. It was the time I started playing with computers. As the time passed my interest in computers grew and it became hobby for me to play around with computers, there was more and more inter-est and fun for me in the computing while I was learning and grasping the concepts.

On an unforgettable Thursday evening, Birmingham’s unsung heroes gathered to celebrate achievements, accomplishments and recognition of selfless dedication. Amongst the winners of the 3rd annual Heart of Birmingham Oscar Awards was the Editor of The Asian Today, Anita Chumber.

Picking up the Woman

A young father from Birmingham is calling out for support to everybody in the Asian community to help save his life. He is appealing for people to register as potential blood stem cell donors with the charity Delete Blood Cancer UK, to help him find the matching donor he desperately needs for his survival, and to be on standby for all others requiring a blood stem cell donation.

Twenty-five-year-old Inderpal Singh has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and has been told that he needs a blood stem cell donation for his survival.

It will be shown twice a week at 8pm, with each

audience react to what's just happened.Antonia Hurford-Jones, Director, Sky Living said, "I am so excited to be bringing our customers a genuinely authentic and warm approach to the non-scripted drama genre with Desi Rascals. It has exactly the tone and sensibilities we look for in a Living show and I loved the idea from the minute I heard it. I am so excited to be working with the supremely talented Gurinder and

Tony, telling the stories of a charming, smart, funny and previously untapped cast of characters."Gurinder Chadha, CEO Bend It TV, commented, "I've been wanting for a long time to create a show which allowed me to show the British Asian community in a truly three-dimensional way, exploring the relationships between generations and what it means to be British and

to see a show from where I grew up with people talking about their world and lives in their own words - I could never write dialogue as rich as this!"Tony Wood, CEO, Buccaneer Media said, "Having been at the start of the British structured reality boom, it's great to be back. Desi Rascals moves the genre on and brings the massive tale of young British Asians to a whole new audience. I'm thrilled to be working with Sky Living and Gurinder; this is a brilliant opportunity."
