I don't talk a lot, however, I enjoy good conversations. I love getting myself into 10,00,000 different things at once. I love the challenge of pulling them all off. I also have an incessant need to scratch the creative part of my brain. Good music, good cinema, good food, and football are some of the other things I indulge in. An engineer with a need to understand why something is the way it is, I also love working in a team effort, leading a team, and watching my ideas come to life!

Learning the Unlearning. How does one generate ideas, the essence of TED? Different people would go about it differently. One thing the entire world keeps preaching is to think outside the box. However, it's not as simple as it seems. For one to think outside the box, it is important to believe the box doesn't exist, the box being a mental block. To question pre-existing beliefs and notions. It is important to have this, supported by a sense of curiosity. The opinions of the world today are clouded by everything they consume on the internet, most of which are thoughts, beliefs, and ideas of other people. What makes this ironic is the ongoing trend of rebooting your mindset about pre-existing thoughts and beliefs, which may or may not always result in the right outcome. However, the process of unlearning, when to, how to, and why to, supported by examples and case studies, is something important to consider. This helps change one's thought process, mindset and helps them find their 'originality' in a time where the easiest thing to do is wear a cloak of the opinions of a million other people on the internet.
