Thinking about college times? Do you remember completing particular task successfully without finding hacks- AKA- jugaad? Well are you still thinking? Don’t stress much, the answer is simple, there aren’t any such incidents where things happened by the snap of your finger.

Be it using that half-cut plastic bottle of Coca-cola as your pen-stand or be it that thread tied on the handle of the door because you are short of money to get that handle done. Talking about hacks how can we not mention the life-line of all those who live away from their home- Khana Maggi’. Ask a student who lives in hostel about the food being served in Mess. Well, guess we don’t think we need to explain it any further.

Everyone has faced money problem once a while in the phase of being a student. If you are the one who lives in South Bombay then you don’t need to read any further, just open the contact info and adopt any of us. You can try to save every buck that you can, try reducing the expenses by using limited stationary or by sharing one study note between your group . So the only suggestion we will give you is to remove the word shy from the dictionary of your life if you want to survive the way everyone else did in your age.

We at FreeCopy believe, that if your student life has passed without using any kind of jugaad then you surely must be having some kind of regret because these could be the actual stories which you could tell your kids with that dramatic tone of, “Hamare zamane me hamne aisa kiya aur tumhare tarha facilities nahin thi to vaisa karna padta tha.”

These hacks that you use during your college days for survival will one day turn into memories that will bring both tear and smile on your face.

And may be while walking down your memory lane, you might realize that in midst of surviving with jugaad, you were actually experiencing life- you were actually living!
