The Law of Jugaad

The law of Jugaad dictates that the following must be obeyed. Only then will one have mastered the art of Jugaad.

1. When one metro card fails to function and two need to pass through the barrier, one shall pass quickly enough to ensure that the other gets to pass through the use of the same card.
2. When almost broke and certain ends need trimming to ensure the basic necessity- food, adjust with friends of friends. It is a great way to make new friends along with being a classic Jugaad.
3. Suction will not always work and sometimes the bot that was created with the sole purpose of picking up balls through a suction mechanism may not work. The chances of Jugaad in such a situation are negligible if and only if your friend does not have the quick-mindedness to readjust the balls with an expert hand.
4. Jugaad must be your first resort the moment you enter a certain college that shall not be named for anonymity purposes. I've met good, average and below average students who attend the college in question. All bow down infront of the power of Jugaad.
5. When the necessity arrives, seven people can be adjusted in a room meant for three. All hail the power of Jugaad!
6. Jugaad will always come to the rescue of those who need it.

History is witness to the exercise of Jugaad. Remember Birbal? The famous courtier in Akbar's court who was one of his nine gems? He was one of the most jugaadu person of all time. Pick up any Akbar and Birbal book.  Apart from the wit and the humor, you will see a shade of jugaad in almost every other story.
