The 'flexible' method
In the 1 minute 3 seconds short clip, shows 3 farmers using the tyre of a motorcycle to clean off the corn kernels. The bike has been placed on an elevated platform. The bike is running as if it has been put to gear. The movement by the bike’s tyre peels off the grain, thus separating the corn kernels.

Impressed by the technique, Tweeples bombarded the comment section as the video has garnered 6.8K Retweets and comments and almost 44K likes. Concerned about the hygiene, one person wrote, "Problem with majority of "jugaad" in India - done with little consideration of hygiene, health or safety. Essentially it's a short sighted short cut". While few are criticizing, one person applauded the farmers for their creativity as he wrote, "Folks, stop criticizing! Why can’t we just applaud the creativity of rural, less educated farmers!! Of course, the ideas can be improved, but given their limited resources, what they found is astonishing!!".
