If There Is List Of All-Time Best Jugaads, This 'Plectrecian' Will Be Hard To Beat – News18

The spirit of jugaad knows no limits. In India, desi jugaad is the go-to solution for fixing almost anything. Whatever the issue, there’s always someone out there ingeniously devising a jugaad. Presently, a particular jugaad is gaining traction on the internet, accompanied by a degree of confusion and a lingering question that begs the attention of the scientific community for a thorough discussion.

Shared by popular digital publisher RVCJ Media on the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), the video showcases a peculiar yet functional combination of a water tap and a light bulb integrated into a switchboard.

In the video, a water tap is ingeniously fitted into a switchboard, and a light bulb is connected to the tap. Contrary to expectations, turning on the tap doesn’t result in a flow of water but instead illuminates the attached bulb. Closing the tap subsequently extinguishes the light, creating a unique fusion of plumbing and electrical elements.

The post has garnered significant attention with 54,300 views on the social media platform at the time of reporting. The comments section is filled with humorous responses as users grapple with the question posed in the overlaying text, “Whom will you call if this stops working?”

“Electrician or Plumber?”, read the caption accompanying the post.

Amidst the sea of witty remarks, users suggested an array of professionals who might be summoned to troubleshoot this peculiar jugaad. A user humorously suggested, “A Carpenter.”

Another proposed the services of a “Scientist.”

The term “Plectrecian” made its way into the discussion, reflecting the confusion surrounding the expertise required to address potential malfunctions in this makeshift arrangement.

Meanwhile, a respondent added a touch of whimsy to the conversation, suggesting that a “Psychiatrist” might be necessary to decipher the intricacies of this hybrid invention.

But haven’t we encountered ingenious jugaads in the past? Previously, a viral video shared by IRS Sugrive Meena showcased a farmer’s innovative solution for irrigation. The X clip featured a group of farmers collaboratively crafting a distinctive and impressive water-pumping machine.

In the two-minute video, an individual is initially seen manually rotating the machine, and after a while, water starts flowing from a tube onto the water pump mechanism. Additionally, the farmers have ingeniously incorporated a battery to supply power, along with some strategically placed bulbs. As they turn the wheel, water begins to flow through the tube, demonstrating the resourcefulness of these inventive farmers.

The caption read, “Start 10 hp pump without electricity. jugaad.”
