Necessity is the mother of innovation. This proverb has been proved right time and again, with people innovating technologies to make life easier. Every now and then, we find people making something unique and useful out of very basic amenities. Now, a video of a cost-saving hack by an Indian man living in Canada is going viral on social media, leaving users in stitches. 

The video opens with the man jokingly declaring, "Canada desh hai mehnga par hum hai Gujarati. Duniya ko idhar udhar hone denge par budget ko nahi. (Canada is expensive but we are Gujarati. The world can go from left to right but our budget will not budge)".

In the clip, the man recalls how one of his friends lamented about high electricity bills before offering him tea. Curious about the absence of milk in the fridge, the man then opens the balcony door. Outside, he finds a makeshift fridge in the form of a balcony, where milk cartons, leftovers and other perishables are stored in the -15 degree Celsius natural chill. 

At the end of the clip, the man jokingly says, "Bhai, every Gujarati is Elon Musk".
