Jugaad (Hindi)
A way of managing things by minimal resources. Consider your driver who has to pick your son from his school and at the same time has to drop your wife to beauty parlor. He would say, “Don’t worry Sir, Jugaad would be done”. A way making things happen “by hook or crook”.

Similar in Hungarian (but not exactly the same): két legyet üt egy csapásra (ok, it’s an idiom). It means ‘to kill two mosquitos at the same time’. But this means having only two things done at the smae time, never more than two. But it’s a nice one, isn’t it?
