Interesting as it may seem.. My Uncle called me one summer morning Mar'09 and said log on to www.ted.com and you will thank me for introducing you to this site. I in my sleep said Ok, will do. When I got up I eventually did check out TED, and felt an immediate connection to the passion and the ideals of this wonderful community that spread world changing ideas. I read about the Fellows program and did apply for it. I wanted to share my community Project REPOrT. Well, cutting a long story short, after filling out applications and phone interviews with Logan and Emeka from the TED office in New York.. Been offered the TED Fellowship for TEDIndia. It all seems like a Dream, but it is a Life changing moment for me. Thank you TED for truly understanding the passion underlying the work of REPOrT. Thank you for believing in the Idea. Well, to share, collaborate and pursue the Ideas that are dear to you and passionate about is the Spirit of TED to me.. :)
