If a Jet Propulsion Lab scientist can praise Mangalyaan as Indian clever science=Jugaad, it's time for us to think about Jugaad here.
I think Jugaad forms a trinity of famous Indian words: Yoga, Jooju=gambling, and Jugaad.
There's good(?) Jugaad when you risk things for yourself, and bad Jugaad when you risk and sacrifice others' interests.
Is it Jugaad when your recycled Ambassador car spare tyre gives up on Pollachi road? When you couldn't find a violin accompaniment and settled for harmonium for BMK at RSM in the 1960's? Is Android Tambura Jugaad? Is using plastic flowers in Navaratri mantapam Jugaad? Is lifting a Trinity tune for your lyrics Jugaad?
Come folks. Let's come down on this topic like a ton of bricks!
