Stupidity

Is when the proud owner of a home refuses a fellow neighbour's proposal to plant trees outside her home as it would `spoil the look of her home'. She goes ahead and gets an existing tree chopped. While the rest of the neighbourhood is excited and busy planting trees, she goes around fitting air-conditioners that hike her power bills. 

Hard to believe? It's a true incident and happened to an artist friend living in Bangalore's Hennur Bande area, and who is involved in community projects through his work and otherwise.
