3 Bizarre Indian Jugaads that Make us Truly Indians!

Jugaad - a smart, out-of-the-box way to achieve results, used for solutions often bending rules. Indians truly are the masters of this brand of 'more-bang-for-the-buck' reinvention. Here are some Jugaads that will have you nodding your head in appreciation:

Jugaad 1:   Washing machines that make lassi

About 10 years ago, these became all the rage in Punjab where cheap, locally manufactured washing machines doubled up as churners of lassi. Of course, many shops were too tiny to accommodate washing machines. So some innovators took a table fan shaft, modified it and added blades to make portable blenders.

Jugaad 2:   Mitti Cool - a clay refrigerator

When refrigerators proved out of reach of poor villagers, a potter from Wankaner, a town in Gujarat invented Mitti Cool, a refrigerator made out of clay. This eco-friendly wonder doesn't use electricity and can cool ample water, vegetables and milk.

Jugaad 3:   The modern Jugaads
