From the household notebook
“Baalon ke ends fat rahe hain? Kela lagao — yeh natural conditioner hai! Par blender mein achhe se pees lena, warna baalon mein chipak jayega!”
Dadima’s tip: Kela bahut paka hua lena — kaale chhilke wala. Aur sirf neeche ki taraf lagao, roots pe mat lagao warna baal bhaari ho jayenge.
