If you were born in India and especially in a Middle-class family, it will be a really great experience to born into that family. Most of the Indian people love to buy something if it is available for free or at a low cost. If they don’t want to buy anything, they are good with “LIFE HACKS” AKA “JUGAAD”. Many things that middle-class folks do that are pretty unique and frankly speaking defy all logic to an outsider. Jugaad is the name of the game and frugality runs in our blood.
Here are some quintessential desi middle-class things that we often do.
