In India the word "Jugaad" (temporary solution) is not unknown. Since childhood we have done so many Jugaad, whether it is for our playing purpose or at home, even at our work place we are known to do such temporary solution.
Once I forgot my mobile charger at work but had only USB cable, I used TV set-top box USB to charge it.
How about you, do you remember any interesting incident when you have done such Jugaad.
Necessity is the mother of all inventions.... and i agree with you that we indians come up with very innovative ways. Though i have not been that brilliant, I am sharing a link on similar lines... :)

Today, while doing my laundry, I noticed the genius jugaadu brain of mine and my husband. It worked well for more than a year now. While doing our laundry last year, the top lid of my washing machine was loose. We kept ignoring it in our busy schedule. It was shaky and one day, due to vibration, the glass fell down and broke into pieces. We called the company guy and he came and asked for 6k which we felt was too much. We did not want to buy a new machine or go for exchange offers as it is really good machine.
After some brainstorming, we thought to give our idea a trial. We had an unused piece of glass on our terrace left from our kitchen woodwork. We took that and got it cut according to the required measurements. It cost us 200 bucks. Then we sticked it with araldite. Though it is a little heavier but it is functional. We are little cautious while loading and unloading.
Ha ha ha! I agree! I guess Indians are one of the most ingenious people in the world, making use of a number of things in a useful and often an outrageous manner! Divya, the link is too good. The car lock reminds me of Mr. Bean whose green coloured car also has the same kind of lock. And in Punjab and Haryana, one can see great combos of motorcycles fused with tractor trollys.

Necessity is the mother of all inventions, so to do such kinds of jugaad, one does not need to be very clever or intelligent but just needy and imaginative.
