GIVE LEFTOVERS A LUXE NEW LIFE

Teja Lele’s new book will help you jugaad your way to self subsistence

In the introduction to Live Smart: 100 Hacks For A Healthier And Happier Life (HarperCollins Publishers India), author Teja Lele admits that she has none of the fortitude, grit, knowledge and expertise of her forebears. What she does possess is “the Indian propensity for jugaad – a flexible approach to problem-solving using limited resources in an innovative way.” A ‘life hack’, she goes on to explain, translates into “a tip, trick, shortcut, or method that increases productivity and efficiency.” Teja prefaces the hundred hacks in the book with a handy Basic Survival Skills Quiz. We predict your score will make you want to try every hack in the book.
