Autofan


I have seen quite a few jugaad and that really makes me think how well we really do these smaller inventions through simple things that make our lives better without much. The sheet of paper / cardboard redirects air to the driver and that his way of getting fanned without draining the battery or eat fuel. Just one of the brilliant example of jugaad.

This is not right.

This is not right. Bold. Italics . Underline. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.  This feeling has taken me a longer way than any other.

We hosted the Global Service Jam: Bangalore Chapter a couple of months back and we all really had a blast. I think I have worked before in a lot of things, but this one experience for me also has been something that has transformed me. I may never be able to see the design in the way I used to before this particular event. And I am sure, I am not the only one who felt the transformation. Some participants felt a critical change in the way the approached life and their daily work. One particular jammer, felt empowered towards her life. For her, the whole experience led her to see that she often would not use her weekends to something productive while on this particular weekend, she worked with a diverse group of people and ended a creating a service ( though still hypothetical) For a some jammers, it was a kick to see that their ideas which they had developed looking at needs and problems they identified were actually in the market. The feeling that if they could possible create ...
