When it comes to jugaad, nobody pulls it off the way Indians do. We have learned to work with limited time, money and labour and still complete the work no matter how difficult.?
Here's another example of Indian jugaad. A video of a creative ¡®hydraulic door¡¯ closer is winning the internet thanks to Anand Mahindra who took to Twitter to post it. He even praised the creativity of the mastermind who has came up with this genius idea.?
The video shows how a simple bottle filled with water could be used to create a hydraulic door. Tied with a rope, they tied the water bottle with a string at the top of the door and every time someone opens the door it automatically gets shut because of the weight of the bottle. The video has left everyone impressed on the internet.??
The TikTok video by @rinkal_dhillon went viral not only on the app but on other social media platforms as well. Sharing the video, Mahindra captioned it as ¡®My #whatsappwonderbox is filled with examples of modest, but out-of-the-box thinking applied to everyday problems. This person spent just ?2 to rig this door closure versus ?1500 for a hydraulic one! How do we channel this creativity so that we move from Jugaad to Jhakaas!¡¯
Here is the tweet:?
The video has garnered 109k views and 12,344 likes till now with people praising the creativity of the maker.?

In a similar incident, six students from China made an automatic door, not with hi-fi equipment but with a bottle full of water and a rope. They tied the bottle to the rope and attached it to the door in such a way that every time they open the door, it automatically shuts with the weight of the bottle.
Well, looks like someone got really tired of getting up to shut the door again and again. But this idea is worth trying, for sure!
In another interesting incident, normally you shift the grains and husks in your field by the hand, as the farmer's only piece of machinery seems to be a tractor meant for ploughing.
He modified his tractor with a mechanical arm to turn it into a sort of excavator. He didn't have a giant metal scoop for the end, so instead he just used his khatiya (cot).?
