Indians often take pride in coming up with creative workarounds and shortcuts to complete different tasks. These solutions are usually called "jugaad." Many of them are clever and useful alternatives that showcase originality and resourcefulness.
A similar jugaad post is now going viral on X (formerly Twitter). Ashita, a Bengaluru-based product designer, shared her ingenious solution to drain excess water from her newly installed purifier without the hassle of constant supervision. Sharing a picture of her water purifier setup, she wrote, "I just got a water purifier and the first batch needed to be emptied.

From there, the extra water moved to a smaller bottle, which then channelled the spill into the sink.
