I finally saw washing machines being used for making lassi in Amritsar and I thought I had seen jugaad at its best – till this recent experience on the roads in rural Karnataka – stacks of hay and wheat(? rice?) laid out on the road early in the morning, passing heavy vehicles threshing them, free of cost and at no inconvenience to the workers. Though not for the vehicles themselves since this slows down progress on already narrow and bumpy roads but in all that annoyance we had to stop and admire the way work went on. At the crack of dawn, men and women set to work, briskly spreading out the stacks of hay, while others go about quietly sweeping the finished product into bags…

From very long ago : Innovation or jugaad?

tell me the place where they use the waching machine for Lassi… Amritsar is on the cards, rather on the top 5 in the list when I am back in India… I have been to that place 5 times already and still can’t get enough of it for some reason..
