Krishna of Keepwrite.com invited me to part of this wonderful platform of writers from different parts of the world who write on different subjects. A short introduction of myself, I am Sukanya an Indian by birth, residing in Singapore since 8 years post marriage, a tired mother of 2 lovely girls trying to balance time for everything including my blog. Blogging to me is a platform for expressing to the world. I started blogging in 2007 when I was pregnant with my little one and blogging has been a very fulfilling experience for me. My readers have showered me with some rave reviews and awards galore.

I consider it an honor to be part of this forum and my first contribution to this wonderful platform is the Instant Chocolate Malai Barfi from my blog Sukanya’s Musings. This post marks sweet beginnings with the readers and contributors of this forum. Thank you Krishna for inviting me. The world is truly shrinking thanks to the internet.



INSTANT CHOCOLATE- MALAI BARFI WITH A TWIST REVISITED

Since my first attempt last Diwali I have made these 3 times, this being my third attempt. It is such a hit in my house, that it gets difficult for me to save it for the guests. The best part is I can make it in a jiffy, It takes all of 15 minutes to make this exotic sweet. What can beat it!!!!!!!

Minimum ingredients, minimum time and minimum labor….only maximum love.

The guests are impressed, the hubby is impressed and my kid is drooling over it. The disappearing cakes are proof for it. So why not make it again, so I made it again with a twist. This time I added 6 squares of Cadbury’s dairy milk chocolate, this not only gave my chocolate layer a deep chocolate color but also gave the chocolate layer a more chocolatey taste….see how…..below

Ingredients

Milk powder - 2 cups

Almond meal (Powdered almond (skinless))- 1 cup (You can get it in the “baking needs” section of most shops)

Thickened cream - 300 ml

Castor Sugar (powdered sugar) - 3/4 cup

Cocoa powder - 1 tbsp

6 squares of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate

Method

Cadbury’s dairy milk comes in a big block of small squares. Break exactly 6 squares and melt on high for a second. Keep aside

Mix all the ingredients except cocoa powder in a large microwavable bowl.

Mix well and place bowl in a microwave oven for 4 minutes on high cook.

Remove bowl and stir mixture. Place again for another 4 minutes.

Transfer half the mix in a greased plate.

Quickly blend in the cocoa and the melted cadbury’s dairy milk into the remaining mix and pour over the barfi in the plate and spread evenly. After that for half a minute keep in the microwave again so that it is set. Cool and cut into the shape of your desire.

Blanched nuts can be sprinkled on top along with silver varq (foil).

Your exotic Chocolate Malai Barfi is ready to serve.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out. Find ways to make supporting employees and their mental health part of your culture. Adapted from " What Managers...

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

By
Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
