Aata gundhne ke baad haath mein tel
Gundhne se pehle haath par thoda tel laga lo. Atta chipakta nahi aur haath dhone mein aadha waqt lagta hai.

गरम तेल में पानी की बूँद नहीं
गरम तेल में गीली सब्ज़ी या पानी डालोगे तो तेल उछलेगा। सब्ज़ी पोंछ कर डालो और कड़ाही का ढक्कन पास रखो — आग लगे तो ढक कर बुझाओ, पानी कभी मत डालो।

पूड़ी का बचा तेल छान कर रखो
तलने के बाद तेल ठंडा होने पर कपड़े से छान लो और अलग डिब्बे में रखो। दो बार और चल जाता है। तीसरी बार के बाद फेंक दो — जला तेल सेहत के लिए ठीक नहीं।

Thok mein sirf woh lo jo kharab na ho
Daal, chawal aur atta thok mein sasta padta hai. Tel wali cheezein — meva, besan, masala — chhota lo, warna kharab hoke poora paisa doob jaata hai.

Old spectacles stay in the drawer
The previous prescription is not as good as the current one, and it is infinitely better than nothing on the morning you sit on your glasses. Keep the last pair, throw the one before.

Send yourself the important thing on WhatsApp
Message yourself the OTP-not-needed things: the parcel number, the address, the medicine name. It is searchable, it syncs, and it is the one app you will definitely open again today.

Keep the first aid box where guests can find it
A first aid box nobody else can find is not a first aid box. Same shelf, never moved, and tell the house where it is. Check the expiry on the ointments every Diwali when you clean anyway.

Cardboard under the parked car
A flattened carton under the engine overnight tells you whether the car is leaking and what colour it is. Brown is engine oil, red is transmission, green is coolant, clear is just the AC and nothing to worry about.

Hear the tank overflow before it starts
Tie the overflow pipe so it discharges onto a steel sheet or an upturned bucket instead of straight down the wall. The clatter tells the whole house the motor needs switching off, and it costs nothing.

Bucket under the leak, cloth in the bucket
A ceiling drip into an empty bucket keeps the whole house awake. Put a folded cloth or a sponge at the bottom and the noise stops immediately. Wring it out when you empty the bucket.

Lemon and salt for the copper vessel
Half a lemon dipped in salt, rubbed over a dull copper lota, brings the shine back in two minutes. Rinse well and dry immediately — a wet copper vessel spots overnight.

Maggi ka paani mat phenko
Maggi ubaalne ka paani thoda bacha ke usi mein masala ghol lo — soup ban jaata hai. Hostel ka poora dinner do rupaye extra kharch mein.

Photograph where you parked
One photo of the pillar number as you walk away. Basement parking in a mall all looks identical after two hours, and this ends the wandering completely.
That is all 15 of them. बस, इतना ही।
