Technological advancement and innovations made people's lifestyles much more accessible. However, some people have the luxury to afford it.

Despite these constraints, creative individuals invent unique ideas through an improvisation method famously called jugaad.

Recently, one such alternative technique for the shower has surfaced online. Twitter user Roma Balwani shared this video on the micro-blogging site and captioned it, applauding the simple, innovative, cost-effective method.

After washing his scalp, as the man slightly bends forward, the water from the drum pours onto his head and washes away the foam.
