The only constant is change. Who I am now isn't who I will be tomorrow nor who I was yesterday. In this moment right now, I am a curious being who likes to delve into new topics and learn about them. I absolutely love talking to people, pulling pranks and having a good time. I have picked up a few skills such as magic tricks which helps me connect to new people in a unique way. The awestruck face of an individual when they get tricked by my sleight of hand is just phenomenal. You can see the childlike curiosity sparkle in the eyes of adults when faced with something so bizarre and it just brings me so much joy to remind them the feeling of being a kid again. Other side of me loves building and designing things with my engineering skills. I have been a part of a team who built rockets. Yes.. rockets. Even I was surprised we could do 'rocket science'. We as a team went to a competition in Brazil and launched one of our rockets there. It was simply amazing... From meeting new people to working sleepless nights on the rocket to finally getting the launch approval on the last day. It was a journey.. an experience that will forever be ingrained in my life and defines who I am. This is me.

In my life, my passions are twofold, reflecting the diverse facets of my personality. On one hand, I am fervently dedicated to the art of connection and joy. I am deeply passionate about engaging with people, exploring new topics, and adding a touch of humor through pranks and magic tricks. The ability to witness the spark of childlike curiosity in adults' eyes as they experience the wonder of a well-executed magic trick brings immense joy. It's a simple yet profound way to remind individuals of the pure, unbridled joy of being a kid again. On the other side of the spectrum, my engineering skills fuel another passion—building and designing. I find immense satisfaction in the process of creating, and one notable manifestation of this passion was being part of a team that built rockets. The journey, from sleepless nights working on intricate designs to the exhilaration of launching a rocket in a competition in Brazil, defines a significant chapter of my life. This experience has become an integral part of who I am, symbolizing the convergence of my engineering prowess and my love for pushing boundaries. In essence, my passions encapsulate the joy of connection and the thrill of creation, embodying the multifaceted nature of my identity.

In my TEDx experience I have helped our team host one online and one offline event. Primarily, I was a member of the curation vertical. Working with my team was a fulfilling experience. My primary responsibility involved liaising with speakers, guiding them through the process of drafting, reviewing, and refining their speeches. This experience offered a fascinating journey of connecting with speakers from diverse backgrounds, delving into their unique stories and experiences. The team used to get together every week for a meeting to catch up on the work and talk about what it was like meeting such esteemed speakers. Coordinating with the entire team on the day of the event to make sure everything goes right was challenging but I enjoyed being part of it. Each team member brought distinct skills and perspectives to the table, and during our collaborative efforts, we seamlessly navigated through various tasks to ensure the success of the events. The camaraderie and shared commitment to excellence within the team made the entire experience not just professionally enriching but also personally fulfilling. The bonding I had with my team, the lessons I learnt from the speakers and satisfaction I had when the audience enjoyed the event to the fullest is what my TEDx experience is about.
