00:06 The mud house that we built was built completely
00:10 with local help, with their knowledge.
00:14 We just put in a few improvements
00:17 to strengthen the structure and strengthen the bridge.
00:20 But it was completely mud.
00:22 It was built completely by hand.
00:24 And it's a wonderful example of how structure
00:28 can be compared to what the concrete structures of today
00:32 are turning out to be.
00:34 We try to rekindle the simple pleasures of life,
00:37 like waking to the song of bird call,
00:39 taking a walk to the nearby lake,
00:41 chatting around the bonfire, and eating home-cooked meals
00:45 using natural produce.
00:47 It's just not that we collect local varieties of grains
00:51 or dals, but we also collect wild species,
00:56 wild species of trees, herbs, shrubs.
01:00 Our village neighbors helped us build our mud cottage.
01:04 All we did was add in a little of our innovations
01:08 and built a mud structure in just seven days,
01:12 which was miraculous.
