Two-minute door hinge fix
A creaking hinge does not need WD-40. A drop of any cooking oil on the pin, then swing the door ten times to work it in. Wipe the run-off or it collects dust and blackens the frame.

A pinch of hing in the tadka makes rajma and chana noticeably easier on the stomach. Add it to hot oil for a second only — burnt hing turns bitter and there is no rescuing it.
When the hinge screw disappears, line up the holes and wrap thick thread tightly through and around them, then dab a drop of glue. Holds for weeks and looks deliberate if you use black thread.
A screw that keeps working loose in a handle or hinge: pull it, put a drop of clear nail polish in the hole, and drive it back before the polish sets. Holds for months, and comes out again when you need it to.
That is all 4 of them. बस, इतना ही।
