India is a great country with incredible festivals, rituals and facts you might not believe at all. Many things we Indians need to change in order to get a better life but there are also certain values and achievements, which are widely appreciated. Today, Indians are making their living by varied means stretched across the world. Indians are on dignitary posts at big companies and government institutes, from world renowned scientists to writers and actors, on behalf of their competence.

Well, they are Mega minds for sure, but do you really know what creative Indians do to save a small penny and to utilize the maximum amount of product? Here I have compiled few I came across:

1.When your favorite clothes are faded, they are used as night dress and then used as cleaning wipers!!

7. Shampoo/oil bottles are collected along with the old newspapers and magazines to sell it off to ‘Pastiwala’ to earn pocket money. It’s a unique way to get cash from trash.

12. Old clothes if not used as wipers are collected, tore, spread evenly, covered with bed sheets on both sides and are manually stitched to make a thick mattress. Wow, right?
