The Great Indian Jugaad...



India is Incredible....
There are so many colors in an Indian life, it never stops feeding your thoughts, your imagination... !!! Sometimes, you find India to be incredibly weird also.

Necessity is the mother of invention, & The Great Indian Jugaad is an example of it. Literal meaning of "Jugaad" is : "something functional made out of whatever resources are available".
The above pictures are of a Jugaad as it is popularly known. It is also known as "Maruta" (masculine word for Maruti-the popular car brand) at many places. In Haryana hinterlands, its also called "Bhoond", a variant of Haryanvi word "Bhoonda" -meaning "Bad Faced".

Howsoever bad names it might have earned, it is an example of solid will power of rural Indian folk, who have to live on.. despite the shortage of money, technical support, advanced technology, etc etc. Made from the water pump, Jugaad is the most popular, most workable & one of the most successful transport vehicles of rural India. This is an original example of Indian Ingenuity, which has bloomed in recent times after finding the right environment in the shape of IT revolution.
