My TED story starts with one word i.e. "Change". For me this is not just attending a conference, visiting a new country or meeting new people but it’s a complete change of my life, thoughts and future actions. The story starts now, and I am in a totally different environment and thought process. How a 32 years life changes in just a few days. This inspired by TED, the people working at TED, TED fellows and people I will be meeting at TED.
