Varanasi ingenuity

Until now I could not have any food in my room. My 50 or so roommates (read: ants) would always get to it before I did.

Problem: The medicine I am taking requires honey. Ants like honey.

My solution: Put honey in a ziplock bag. Take that ants!

Problem 2: How do you say ziplock bag in Hindi?

My Hindi teacher's solution: Put the honey in a dish filled with water. Ant's can't swim.

Lesson: Sometimes the most low tech solution is the best. Thanks!
