Well everyone is aware of Jio as you might be using it right now. It is a new venture by Reliance Industries in order to penetrate the retail market. Earlier this month Marck Zuckerberg announced about his investments in Ambani’s Jio Mart. Investment of about 40 Cr INR in Jio Mart will be revolutionary in grocery shopping.

Karlo Duniya Muthi Me -is Reliance Slogan which they are materializing it. AAP chronology Samjhiye – Jio outnumbered Vodafone, Airtel, Idea, and another telephone network. Free jio services were used by many people. Later Jio began charging for data packs and calls. The majority of the Indian population is using JIO sim. Its interface comes handy with all other Jio services. What do you think about Amazon vs Jio Mart?

Its threat to many local businesses in India. When Ambani launched his Jio cellular service, it put a lot of other cellular networks under the threat of going out of business thanks to its wild success. This could once again come true for Ambani’s latest venture and all of its other competitors. In order to compete with Amazon the pricing will be slashed. India will witness a digital war soon.

Small businesses will be impacted a lot. Grocery stores can be classified into small, medium, and big according to their turnovers. The introduction of jio mart can be beneficial or disadvantageous for the retailers. Like Zomato most of the restaurants are taking advantage of the platform.

Benefits of mart can include wide customer base of Jio can be targetted by retailers using this platform. While disadvantages can include lack of education and knowledge about digitalization.

“The Devils are chained up”

The report in as-Saheehayn from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3277) and Muslim (1079).

Ramadan 2020 hopefully will begin on 23rd April 2020, according to a member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, UAE. The exact dates will be confirmed by the moon sighting committee. It doesn’t matter if it starts on 23rd or 24th, you should worry about how prepared are you during this lockdown Ramadan. All that privileges you had before are being locked down. Now is the time to realize how poor spends their Ramadan. This lockdown is an eye-opener for humanity.

Empty Mosques: Ramadan in 2020

Ramdan in 2020 will be spent at home. Prayers are not allowed at mosques due to corona virus outbreak. We should abide the rules and regulations provided by the authorities and worship at home.

once I was in prayer at mosque before the lockdown,a person next to me was coughing. Though my attention should be in prayer I was more worried about the risk of getting sick. It was distrubing and distracting. Hope my prayer was accepted. The moral of the story is pray at home and focus on your connection with Allah SWT.

Lets be positive during this Ramadan and pray together for a better world. Taraweeh can be prayed at home. One can hold the Quran and recite it while praying. Your intention is important, so make proper intentions for welcoming this blessed month. Prepare a to-do list this Ramadan as we have plenty of time. Memorizing Quran is a very exciting task this Ramadan. Internet challenges may come and go, but memorizing the Quran challenge is forever. I know its too much, but you can start with your favorite Surah. My favorite surah is “Surah Rahman “. I challenge myself to memorize Surah Rahman. Apart from this try to learn tafseers, please note Tafseer and translation are different.

Empty shops: Ramadan in 2020

Now is the time you change your habit of spending unnecessary on shopping. Maturity is when you understand Eid is not about shopping. Even though I was a spoiled kid, its been more than 7 years I buy 1 Kurta Pyjama for Eid. That’s the reason you see me in track pants and jersey most of the time. Iftar Buffet will be affected due to lockdown, the positive side is that food wastage will be less. People will prepare iftar according to the necessity. The best thing to do is have dinner right after margib prayer. It will help to prepare iftar in proper proportions.

Zakat: Ramadan in 2020

Zakat is one of the five pillar of Islam.Do not forget to calculate your zakat amount as it should reach to the needy before Ramadan ends. You can use this tool to calculate your Zakat. Zakat is the word of the Arabic language which means “growth”. It also means purification. But purification of what? As the fasting is the purification of the soul from evil, the same as zakat is the purification of your assets. Allah also says about it in the Quran:

“Take Sadaqah (alms) from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it…” (7:103)

Assets that are Zakat-Able (Rules)

• Jewelry like gold, silver, and any other precious jewelry items.
• Money that you have lent to someone.
• Stock or shares.
• Cash in bank accounts.
• Pension.
• A house where you are not living.
• Any type of property item which you have kept to earn a profit.

Take Islamic Quiz , do comment your scores.

Summary

• Prepare List
• Prepare time table
• Offer Zakat
• Memorize Quran
• Learn Tafseer
• Improve relationship with Allah SWT
• Improve relationship with family and friends

4. Blend it again to obtain uniform mixture

5.Pour the mix in cake mould , use oil to coat the mould before pouring to avoid sticking of cake on the mould.

6.Bake the cake for 40 to 45 mins at 180 C and enjoy !!

Watch it on youtube . It was my first try and apparently it turned out good. I tried to make it as simple as possible so that it doesnt get burned.Instead of chocolate chips you can use fruits or gems .If you have any other mould you can follow the same steps .You can cut it into layers and fill it with cream .For toppings you can use whip cream or cocoa .Also do not forget to tag me on instagram.

What is Dalgona Coffee ?

Dalgona coffee is a thick, creamy, frothy iced latte. It is a beverage made by whipping coffee until it becomes creamy and then adding it to chilled milk.

Why Dalgona Coffee is trending ?

Who doesnt love coffee ? and second its photogenic, its all for the gram ! It was made popular by a South Korean actor who visited Macau where he was served the drink, and later presented it on a South Korean TV show called Pyunstorang (“Fun-Staurant”). So even if you are not a coffee fan you can try it for the sake of gram ,who knows may be you will fall in love with coffee .

Steps to make Dalgona coffee?

It is pretty easy to make, and I can say that you’ll have the five ingredients you need to make it in the house:

1. 2 tbsp instant coffee
2. sugar as desired or 2btsp
3. 2 tbsp hot water
4. 500ml milk
5. Ice
6. Whipping tool

Method

1. Add the coffee, sugar and hot water together in a small bowl. ( more the sugar more the fluffiness )

2. Whisk it by hand or on a high speed mixer (for more fluffiness) until it thickens and peaks are formed. 

3. Grab your milk and heat it up. Then add one or two scoops of the coffee mixture on the surface of your milk.

That’s it! It’s pretty straightforward and has actually been around for a while, but only recently started picking up in trendiness. If you dont have any speed mixer , than good luck with your hand and beat the coffee for atleast 20 minutes .

Do we drink or eat the coffee ?

First question will come to your mind once you are done that whether to eat it or drink it . If you try to drink it milk will pass through the thick layer of coffee and you cant eat pure coffee , so better mix it well after posting it on instagram and drink it .

Wait till the next trend comes in and do not forget to tag me on your post on Instagram.

If you love coffee, my suggestion is to start a blog for free. Once you start the blog you can monetize and earn money.
