An Indian couple is labelled stupid by the netizens, and this has become the talk of the town. They have created a zero-cost-of-living home for themselves, thus proving that sometimes, good ideas only need a little patience and a lot of mud.
Kavya and Sangeeth, the couple about whom we are talking, shared their journey:
How they built an eco-friendly home that is free from electricity and water bills, and much more.
It was years ago when the couple announced their plan, and as expected, they faced taunts, skepticism, and enough side-eyes to last a lifetime.
In the words of Kavya, “People called us stupid and mad.”
WHY?
Because of their DIFFERENT vision: They talked about building a self-sustaining home, made from locally sourced mud bricks, featuring solar panels, rainwater harvesting, a dry toilet and such architectural design that can keep the house cool during summer and warm during winter.
The catch? All this without an air conditioner or a heater. Which is why they were considered mad.
Their efforts aren’t just good for their wallets: the house is a testament to sustainable living, capturing rainwater and recycling waste, with everything carefully designed so that resources are used, reused, and never abused. And if you’re wondering about comfort, a video tour shows cheerful rooms bathed in sunlight, lush kitchen gardens, and not a single pout about missing city luxuries.
As their story went viral, thousands of people (several of whom likely once labeled them “mad”) are now applauding the duo for showing that a greener, leaner life isn’t just possible, but pretty darn enviable. In the comments section, fans have crowned them as pioneers, while some are already planning their own great escape from city bills.
It’s a lesson in innovation, resilience, and perhaps, sweet revenge served cold—without the need for an energy-guzzling refrigerator.
So, who’s stupid now? Certainly not Kavya and Sangeeth, whose humble home has sparked a hot conversation about sustainable living across the country. From laughingstock to trendsetters, they’re proof that sometimes, the best way to silence critics is not with words—but with action (and perhaps a mud brick or two).
