HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN THIS SOCIETY

For the final edition of this blog series, I will talk about perhaps the most common aspect of the topic- our dear society. It’s not like none of us knows what goes on in the society, what happens behind the doors of houses, what happens in the gossip of people and what is said in the pointless taunts and remarks passed as a part of routine. Therefore, I will not waste words trying to explain what is wrong, neither will I mention how to right it. I will simply mention the efforts that are already underway because luckily once again, this is one of the aspects that has had some light shed on to it in recent years. Every other week we see stories, posts and campaigns on social media. A new harassment case, rape cases, and murder cases against women and trust me when I say that it’s the social media that brings all of these cases into light and tries to ensure justice for the victims. Our paper and TV media is controlled, they are forced to deliver a narrative in order to delude the publi...

HOW TO MAKE AGLIO E ALIO WITH MUSHROOMS

 HOW TO MAKE AGLIO E OLIO WITH MUSHROOMS 


Yes, we do love Pakistani dishes, but why not try a little bit of Italian food as well?


Aglio e Olio is a simple Italian pasta dish, which is easy to make and trust me it’s always a winner! But hey wait, you probably will be wondering what does this name mean and how are we supposed to pronounce it? No need to go to Youtube separately to search about this, because I have got you covered and will tell you here.


Aglio (Ah-lee-o) means “garlic”, e (Eh) means “and” and Olio (O-lee-o) means “oil or olive oil” to be specific. 


Without further ado, let's discover how to make this goodness!


Ingredients: 


Spaghetti - 1 pack (You can go with whichever shape you like)

Garlic - 8-10 cloves

Heavy cream - 1 cup

Olive Oil - According to need

Mushrooms - 1 cup

Parmesan cheese - 2 teaspoons

Basil leaves - according to taste

Chilli flakes - 1/2 Teaspoon

Black pepper - 1 and ½ Teaspoon (you can add more if you desire)

Milk - optional


*If your heavy cream’s consistency is thick, add milk in it to reach a honey-like consistency. 🍯


Procedure:


Boil spaghetti for 15 mins and do not forget to add a generous amount of salt in the water in which you will be boiling your spaghetti. Drain it when done and keep it aside. Cut garlic cloves in thin slices. Take a pan, add 1-½ tablespoon olive oil in it and toss the sliced garlic in the pan. Let them sizzle till they are golden brown. Take a relatively larger pan, put 5-6 tablespoons of olive oil in it and toss the drained spaghetti. Now add heavy cream, add salt, chilli flakes, black pepper and parmesan cheese and mix it all well. Now add mushrooms and mix again. Cook it for 5-10 mins. 


Now immediately pour the hot and tasty aglio e olio in your bowl, garnish garlic and basil leaves on top. And now your perfect and fun-to-cook meal is ready to eat! 🍲

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN AT WORKPLACE

I recently came across a government post on Facebook, under which there was a person who made a certain remark in the comments. The guy so boldly suggested that women should not be allowed to give the CSS exam since their area of expertise lies in the cleaning of houses and cooking of food and not in the running of the country. He added, “Their eligibility to take the exam steals the opportunity from qualified individuals like myself and puts it into their inexperienced hands”. I laughed it off since it was clear that this person was crying over his own incompetence and decided to throw the blame over the women. The sad part of this little event, however, was that there were lines of other sick likeminded men in the comments who were praising the guy for passing this statement. For a moment now, I want you to think of this scenario in a different way. The offender and the ones who praised him poured their minds out, but this time the women they targeted were behind the screen of a phon...

HOW TO MAKE LIVES BETTER FOR WOMEN IN A HOUSEHOLD

It’s the year 2021 and all aspects of life have significantly progressed over time. The one thing that doesn’t seem to have even moved is the mentality of most of our men; men who believe we reside in an entirely safe state with no societal imperfections. I, for one, believe that not only is our nation flawed beyond description, but is also an unsafe place for our women. Anyone who is not deluded will believe that our mothers, sisters and female acquaintances cannot be trusted at the hands of this society. “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women…” (Surah An-Nisa: 34) And yet all our so-called “Men of Religion” are on top of the list of people who believe in male dominance and those who claim the only way forward is a patriarchal society that oppresses women (or keeps them in their rightful place, as the deluded so proudly claim). Every single day we witness new cases of domestic violence against women, investigate and most of the time it turns out the offender is a male with a...
