Why I quit the corporate world to start teaching mud house construction

Been working here in US for last five years. Going back to India in two months to never come back. Hope to start doing some farming, or plant a tiny forest in my family farm land.

When I was a child I saw a mud house being "torn down" by a bulldozer. I thought it would just fall over. But it was VERY strong. Stronger than any brick or mortar. It did not crack or crumble. It literally had to busted up with repeated blows from the equipment. As a kid, it seemed strange that something so durable was discarded in this way. I never forgot how strong the walls of that house were.

This is how we lived, then they said we are uncivilised,now when we cannot afford to go back they say we are polluting😭

I am living in very big mud house since my childhood in village it is more than 50 year old . In summer you feel cool and in winter you feel warm in mud house

My grandfather's close to 50 yr old house is built out of laterite mud (not bricks) & wooden beams. Its still standing strong. The house does not have a a typical foundation. The roof is tiles made of clay. This house located on the western coast of India has tolerated torrential monsoons and strong sea winds. It has needed some plastering on the exterior surfaces in the recent past but the house is in good shape. Since no cement is used, the house remains very cool inside even in harsh summers . I wish more people could build such cheap & eco friendly houses

What a woman. This is a strong woman.

"At the end of the day we are probably slaves, we can't take a leave when you want, you can't sleep when you want. For all that money in the world that you earn, can you really afford absolutely clean food, can you afford clean water, can you afford clean air?"

"I realized the absolute uselessness of this life and how fake it is.." 😌

Now im a softwares professional. But my aim is to be a farmer make home stable in village. Then live in a place like forest lonely free from all fakes.

I still live in a mud house when I visit my village. The house that my grandparents build with their own hands And in summer you don't need any appliances to cool the space.

This is a tribute to mother Earth.. Who has everythimg in her to sustain our living... Salute this Woman: true being on this planet. Be blessed

I can't believe how underrated this beautiful YouTube channel is.. This deserves a million subscribers ❤️

Nice work❤️💕 I’m a 64 yr old mechanical engineer- I have been studying (informally) sustainable housing for the last five years (along with regenerative agriculture) - cob homes are a great choice for a warm climate - what you have created is beautiful and the fact that you are enabling others is beautiful as well 💕💕

I was born in a rural area in the U.S. and lived there for the first 8 years of my life. My father was raised on a small farm, but after serving in WWII he moved to the city where he met my mother. They decided to move back to the countryside to raise their family. Unfortunately though, he moved me and 2 of my siblings (the 3 youngest) to the city. So, I've lived in the city almost my entire life, until a year and a half ago. Now I live in a small town. But, for the last 4 years, I've been researching alternative housing & energy, off-grid living, even primitive construction & living. So, everything you are saying is exactly my sentiments as well. But, I'm not able to break loose at this time because of debt I owe. This entire system is like a trap to keep you under the governments subjection. This system is at war against mankind and nature, and I have learned to hate it.

“Don’t mistake not knowing something with it being a fact” Well said sister!

Back in 1990 in my village we use to have Mud House then people started moving toward cement and Skill Men who would build Mud house we use to call Kaccha Ghar , now i am missing , i wish people start building these again in kashi

she has the heart of gold. Not many feels that way when you are already successful. And most specially the courage to turn your back from that life. I salute you and I shall have that life soon. My journey to sustainability has started a few years back but had not been easy as I was already unemployed for years and it wasn't cheap to be honest. My family also think it's a crazy and foolish move. But will get there. A life with nature where u don't have to wake up and hurry to work. A life where u see how your food grow

Mud homes where used by my grandparents in Trinidad. They must have brought their building knowledge from India. I remember it been cool and they maintained it with cow manure. Hard work but like she implied they were made to feel working in the cities and concert homes equaled success. I preferred their success but it was with backbreaking work. They planted their own rice and raised chickens. They worked so hard but they didn’t realize they had it right.... working for themselves and knowing where their food came from.

2:23 "That the only true time that a person probably is happy is when he/she is in service of others." -- that's the real definition of life..in this world where people think only about themselves, it's refreshing to meet and see people who aren't the same as with most people are today.

Beautifully said... ".. with all the money that you earn, can you afford healthy organic food, healthy clean water or air?.." Awesome awesome.. 👍👍😃
