Wonder if we have any sort of "maker" clubs (and maker faires) in our cities.  Would love to see stuff like these.

  impressed, to say the least. 

There are many serious DIYers in India. I guess time is the constraint....many of us are too busy earning a living, and when we do have time finally, we are old and feeble

that boat looks like an optimist class sailboat.... that should be the easiest boat to build.... and its easy to sail

Very nice. The kid looks Indian and his name sounds Indian as well.

There are more DIYers in our country than most others I feel; So to speak the concept of Jugaad spawns out of our DIY tendencies. Opportunities for show an tell, and more importantly, collaboration and joint effort, have been limited. But I see the scene changing. Anwar bhai, you've created one such opportunity for us with RCI.

PS: Lovely to see this kid 'doing' stuff in an era where most kids want to be rockstars on TV reality shows. No offence but its disheartening to see kids behave like mature adults on TV; courtesy media overexposure.

i wish there were "hacker-zones" over here.... loads of people collaborating.....
sadly nowadays nobody is interested...

all my friends have asked me things like:-
"why did you waste so much money on making a plane when you could buy one for cheap..."
"what's the point... it just crashed.. there goes your money..."

this is the general public i guess
