I'm passionate about

Art. Of any form. I see art as a window in our brick houses. It gives us a view of the outside world and drags us out of our mental cocoons. Besides being an aficionado of a variety of art forms, I love to indulge myself in blogging. I find great peace and serenity in venting out through poetry and reading articles I can relate to.

An idea worth spreading

Empathy is what makes our relationships worth having and our society worth being. It is the foundation of the 'human soul' and is what makes us 'divine'. It is not very crucial to be rich or happy but a person who lacks empathy is depriving himself of the true beauty of human interaction.

The TED story

I heard from my juniors that they plan to organize a TEDx event in our college and was intrigued by the idea. At first it seemed like a tough task to pull off but after putting together a team of enthusiastic peers from various courses, the idea didn't seem too difficult to execute. The team is focused on bringing great speakers who can pump up the local student community with talks about technology, art, life, and material that will inspire us and keep the spark of innovation glowing for years to come.
