I am a 24 year old ambivert who loves to read fiction, has deep interest in studying the human psyche and loves learning something new everyday.

I remember the first TED video I had come across a couple of years back and it has remained one of my favorite TED videos since then. It was a talk on the thrilling potential of sixth sense technology given by Mr. Pranav Mistry. I came across this video while I was working on my graduation final year project. We were trying to create a basic autonomous navigation software using Artificial Neural Networks. To me, this project in itself was a nearly impossible task when I came across Mr. Pranav Mistry’s talk. The talk left me with a sense of wonder at the astonishing results a fairly simple thought process could bring forth. Never before had I imagined such an amalgamation of the virtual and the physical world to be a thing of reality. I have always been a visual learner and this fifteen minute TED talk shared with me more knowledge than years of reading could have satisfied. That was the beginning of my TED journey. This year I plan on organizing a TED event in my college.
