Good morning, India, I
like your word जुगाड़ , Jugaad
I was reading an experiment with
ants. A cake was placed on a table with a moat of water surrounding the cake.
In came some scout ants who sniffed
out the cake with their antennas. Afterwards, the brought in the rest of the
colony.
So, how do you navigate the deep
waters surrounding this Victoria sponge cake with full stomachs? They crawled
up the wall and along the ceiling and parachuted down on top of the cake.
Now here is the problem: How do
they get home. They are stranded on an island, you might say. Well, the formed
a human chain across the ocean between the cake and the table. Then, the rest
of the colony crossed over the bodies of their fellow ants.
I immediately thought of the Bible
account about ants,
Go
to the ant you slaker——
Consider
its ways and be wise.
Proverbs
6:6 (TLV)
Ah! See its ways and be
wise. God has gifted the ant with instinctive wisdom; the ability to work out
problems in ingenious ways.
Jugaaḍ : is an unconventional, economical
innovation (Hindi).
