Living Alone on an Island for 25 Years: Meet Joseph of Murikkal

For 25 years, 74-year-old KC Joseph has lived alone on Murikkal — a tiny three-acre island hidden in the backwaters of Kochi. Once home to families, farms, and laughter, the island slowly emptied as life on the mainland became easier.

But Joseph never left. This is the story of a man who chose solitude, of fourteen loyal dogs he once lost, of four new companions who found him and of an island that is shrinking, surviving, and standing strong — just like him.
