Viral videos of ‘jugaad’ or ‘clever hacks’ always leave netizens impressed. It is because of such hacks that ‘jugaad’, a Hindi word has found a place in the Oxford English Dictionary. Symbolic of the Indian spirit of resourcefulness, jugaad teaches the art and necessity of making the most of the limited resources. Netizens have often praised such pictures and videos of innovative ‘jugaad’ that also give them an idea to create a hack of their own.

Recently, a video of one such jugaad went viral on social media and earned appreciation from netizens. The video shared on Twitter shows two boys riding a motorcycle in neck-deep water which is not recommended. But these riders have made certain upgrades on the bikes that help them drive easily on waterlogged roads.
Calling it ‘Jugaad at its best’, an IAS officer shared the video on Twitter saying, “Have never seen before!!” He also warns that modifications made to the bike would be potentially dangerous to try.
As the place where the video was filmed is not clear, users on the microblogging platform suggested that it was shot in Assam, a state that witnessed severe flooding in the past few days.
Have never seen before !!
