#GitasKitchen
Namaste welcome to Gita's kitchen, My love and blessings to all. May you all be happy and contented. We want a number of tips from you. Amma Amma, please sit down. Ammas hair is natural black.. She has never used any hair dye From childhood. I have used only sesame/til oil.My grandfather used to prepare Mukootu oil from 3 oils From castor oil, coconut oil and til/sesame oil, All in equal proportions and slightly warm it Weekly once apply on hair For Daily use. Only coconut oil In TNadu. We generally have an oil bath on Tue And Friday. amma uses only once a week. My mother used to find it difficult to wash my hair. Even once week My mother used to place my hair on the washing stone and rinse. It Vasumathi tells me that Amma doesn't allow anybody to touch her hair.. Only her mother could do it Even when Vasu offers to do it. Amma refuses saying she will do it on her own, Since it takes time to care for such long hair amma used to plait her hair only till the age of 60. After that she has started making it into a small bun. How did you wash off the oil My mother used to sun dry, Shikakai, pods, dried alma and whole green moong and make a powder in the mill We were not allowed to sleep in the afternoons, As this might cause sinus problems, Coconut oil for daily use? Earlier we used only raw coconut oil.. Later we started adding two hibiscus flowers to 500 ml oil and keep in the sun before use. This would help to check hairfall and also cool the body.It also delays greying. Once the colour is released in the oil, you can keep it inside For Glowing skin, add gram, flour to milk cream or malai and apply to face Wash after 5-10 minutes. Kasturi manjal can also be added if available. mma has never used any soap. Only besan or green gram. Flour for face and body. I will apply oil only on the next day after oil bath, No hair dryer to be used Only sun dry. Being stress free is important Not to get worried too much Learn to accept challenges in life and not compare with others. By feeling depressed, you will lose out on your present happiness too. God has given us. What is our due Amma tell us about your younger days. Our school had competitions where we had to light the lamp using only one matchstick, with a single strike. She used to walk a mile to school. What did you have for Breakfast / Overnight rice soaked in water with curd salt and tender mango pickle? She was a topper in school and got married afters completed her SSC. My grandfather made me read newspapers to improve my English. As he was a lawyer. He felt proud to teach me some legal terminology too.. When my uncle visited us, he would intentionally ask me a question and seeing my reply. My Uncle would be amazed at my intelligence.. This made my grandfather very happy and proud. Amma got married at 17. She was the only lady at home. Did you known Appa earlier? No, No, it was arranged. My father in law always supported me and instructed his sons to share the work and help me with the dishes too. Also, while grinding batter manually in the stone he would help amma. In those days I waas very fond of stitching. One day. He found me using thread from edges of dhotis. The next day. He brought a whole lot of embroidery thread and gave me too One of my embroidery of a Japanese lady was presented to someone in Japan. Please tell us something about the rangoli you have shown today. It depicts Hanumanji carrying the Sanjeevani mountain. It is good to draw this every Thursday and pray to Hanumanji. You can offer any Prasad and recite some slokas. My advice to all is to be contented always.. Don'T always think about what you don't have Learn to be flexible and adjust in any situation Lead a disciplined life with good routines, No self pity Amma we face so many challenges today. What can we do so as not to go into anxiety and depression and be happy always Everyone should be happy. How Life will through up difficulties, But we should not brood over it continuously.. You will not be able to think ahead, Learn to say ok. This is what I have to face: today.. Pray to God, to give you the strength to overcome this challenge bravely. We should not always think of what we could not achieve or what we did not get in Life, For example. Today I want to do so much physically, but I have limited energy. My mental energy does not match my physical ability, So we should feel satisfied that we were able to do whatever. We could. Thank you amma for your golden words, which we treasure always A Big Hug from all of us to our dear Amma

Remembering my Late Mum a lot as she used to give me the same oil mixed with dried hibiscus flowers and Amla oil in it and the shikakai powder she used to give it to the machine outside with all different ingredients in it. Also she used to soak fenugreek seeds and apply that paste on my hair before hair wash. That's why my hair is so long and healthy I believe. What a talented Mum Please show her different kolam pics on every day of the week. Would like to meet your mum and take her blessings Thank you Aunty.
