The TED story
I was introduced to TED years ago when I happened to stumble upon a link to a TED talk sent to me by a friend. I have since been regularily watching TED & Tedx talks from around the world. When someone I knew organised a Tedx Event in a village in India, it became a closer to me and have since nutured the idea of organing a Tedx event for a community that can benefit from the event. My brother attended TedIndia and his exerpience has kindled in me the desire to one day attend a Ted event and speak about my dream project Idea which I hope to spread and build to a point where it becomes a part of every individual's daily life.
