BijliRouter on top of the almirah
Wi-Fi weak in the back room? Move the router high and central instead of behind the TV. Height beats everything — no new hardware, no plan upgrade. Keep it away from the microwave and the fish tank.

Dry clothes indoors without the smell
The musty smell is bacteria growing on slow-drying cloth. Spread the clothes out rather than bunching them, put a fan on them even at low speed, and add half a cup of vinegar to the rinse. Moving air matters more than heat.

GharRubber band on a stripped screw
Screw head gone round and the screwdriver just spins? Lay a wide rubber band flat over the head, press the screwdriver into it hard, and turn slowly. The rubber fills the chewed grooves and gives the bit something to bite.

Fan regulator hum is usually dust
A fan that hums at low speed often just has dust caked on the blades, unbalancing it. Clean the blades and the top of the motor housing before you call anyone. If it still hums, that is an electrician's job, not yours.

Rolling pin as a pav bhaji masher
No masher at home? The flat end of a belan, pressed straight down, does an honest job on boiled potatoes and bhaji. Slower than a masher, better than a fork.
