Rani Taj International Dhol artist performs live in Duabi

-
Did you know Rani Taj became a youtube sensation after her friends posted her dhol infusion with Rihanna's Rude boy without her knowledge?

Did you know Rani Taj has been playing the dhol since she was eight?

Did you know her dhol weighs an astounding 15 kgs! And she does Bhangra while carrying it?

Well I'm sure you dint know all of these facts, that's why I'm here! The second she picked up her dhol and struck the first cord I just wanted to put my hands in the air and start dancing. I couldn't do that there but I'm sure we all can, at her live performance with Gurdas Maan this weekend. The moment you hear her playing you will want to do a little bhangra yourself.. don't believe me? Click on the video below and see for yourself. 
  

I interviewed Rani at a press conference today and she was the sweetest!

On being asked about Dubai she said not only does she love the weather but has been secretly wanting to move here (yay for all of us who love dhol and Punjabi music)!

The 21 year old has taken two years off her education to concentrate on her music but she will go back to school her mother told me. Her mom who is also her manager has encouraged Rani to focus on her passion but insists on the importance of education and says Rani will be going back to University in the UK to complete her studies.

Rani says Punjabi music is in her blood and she is thrilled to be playing with Gurdas. She also added that when the offer came along she did not give it a second thought and jumped at the opportunity to perform with him in Dubai.
 
Rani will be performing along side Gurdas Maan on April 25, at the Emirates Golf Club, for details go on to Oye Punjabi's Facebook page.

Hair washing and blow drying aren’t the only culprits behind those stray hairs in the sink; breakage can lead to excessive hair loss in damaged hair.

Hair will then grow long and strong again, boasting its usual natural shine and manageable texture.  The Science The new Syoss Anti-Hair Fall* Fiber Resist 95 strengthens the hair from root to tip. It does this with help from a phyto stem cell extract derived from botanical stem cells, which stimulates the hair’s energy metabolism in the roots where the hair grows.

Food Review - Circle Café

Circle Café has proudly joined the re-invention club and launched a new menu recently and I'm going to give you a low down on how well they scored. Tucked away into the quite Business Bay square in downtown Dubai, Circle Café is a cosy hidden gem. The simple and elegant interiors give a very relaxed home feel which makes the food more enjoyable. Let's get down to business then..First up were the Bagel chips. As the name suggests they were thinly sliced baked Bagel chips served with a Tarama Truffle dip. From the first bite I knew this dish was going to be in my top three for the night. They were so crisp and light that I couldn't stop munching. The zatar type seasoning gave it the perfect amount of subtle flavour. For those with a preference for stronger taste, the dipping sauce gives it a unexpected punch which grows on you with every bite. Next was the Whole Wheat Salmon Pasta followed by the Circle Greek Salad, both of which are healthy options but low on the seas

Food Review - Carluccio's and Bloomsbury Review

 The Dubai Mall has numerous hidden gems and every time I go there I stumble upon something new. A little pop up shop or cafe situated in some corner of the mall can always surprise. The places I tried this week aren't very hidden, but this was the first time I tried them. I did come across a new home store where I've never been before, but today we'll stick to Carluccio's and Bloomsbury. Carluccio's as the name suggest is Italian. You have two seating options, one facing the fountain and the other facing the mall (see image below). The service was friendly and quick considering the fact that it was a Thursday. We ordered two pizzas, a pasta and a salad. The margarita was thin crust, soft, chewy and pretty good. They did not have any options in chicken pizza's so we ordered for grilled chicken topping with our pizza., the result chicken strips on top of the same Margarita pizza. It din't taste bad, cause it still taste the same with just chicken on to
