Indians are known for their knack for jugaad - or clever fixes born from thinking outside the box, often using whatever is lying around. It's like repurposing a hair tie to fix a broken zipper or crafting a phone stand from a random book and a rubber band. Now, a new jugaad is gaining traction online. A recently viral Instagram video showcases a man with a modified bike that dispenses soft drinks - much like a vending machine or ATM. The bike's headlight has been ingeniously transformed into an ATM-like vending machine.
In the video, the man inserts his debit card into a slot on the bike's headlight, presses a few buttons, and - as if by magic - a soft drink fills a glass placed under a small outlet. Once dispensed, the machine returns the card, just like a regular ATM. Watch the full video here:

The video has taken the internet by storm, garnering over 26 million views. One user commented, "Anything can happen." Another joked, "Bike: My powers are being misused." Someone asked, "Isn't that an alcohol machine?" A fourth person exclaimed, "Wah bhai, kya baat hai yaar!" (Wow brother, that's amazing!). Many others responded with laughing emojis.
Earlier, a viral video showcased a hostel student's creative use of desi jugaad, pairing Maggi noodles with roti instead of the usual sabzi. In the video, she tore off a piece of roti, dipped it into the Maggi, and declared it the "best combo." This innovative hack offered a solution to students tired of bland hostel food and quickly went viral online. You can read the full story here.
