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 FUDGY CHOCOLATE CAKE

 HOW TO MAKE FUDGY CHOCOLATE CAKE


This recipe is not as cliche as most recipes you might have tried. You must have experienced making a chocolate cake with either too much cocoa-powder or vanilla extract’s taste and less of a chocolate-y taste.


But this recipe is not like the others. From my personal experience, I was never good at making chocolate cake until I tried this recipe and trust me, everyone who has tasted it always winds up asking me for it.


So you can perhaps say, I am here sharing my ‘secret’ chocolate cake recipe in this blog!


So, without further ado let’s move onto the recipe. 


Ingredients:


1 cup and 1 tbsp flour

1 cup grounded sugar

⅓ cup cocoa powder

¾ tsp baking powder

⅓ tsp baking soda

⅓ tsp salt

2 eggs

½ cup milk

¼ cup of vegetable oil

½ tablespoon vanilla extract

Parchment or butter paper


Procedure: 


Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch cake pan, flour it, and line the bottom of the pan with the parchment paper. Place flour in a mixing bowl, add sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir these ingredients together until they are combined well. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla extract and now beat the batter until the batter has reached a good consistency and everything is well-blended. Now put the batter in the pan you prepared before. Now place it in the oven and let it bake for about 35 minutes or until when you insert a tooth-pick in it, it comes out clean. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. 


And voila! The chocolate cake is now ready to serve. If you want, you can either decorate it with sprinkles or with a well-prepared frosting. I personally like my cake simple!

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...
