I'm just another guy trying to live his life to the fullest hoping to leave a positive mark on this world in his time. A student of the National Insititute of Technology, Rourkela and an inventor, I believe in the power of the human mind and its capability to achieve the impossible.

Technology and Science as a whole. The importance of these in our day-to-day lives is incomparable and I consider myself to be a science-enthusiast. I am an application developer by hobby and profession and am highly passionate about it. I am certified in 6 different coding languages and have expertise in more than 10. Science, especially theoretical physics and the new understandings of the quantum realm, and its possibilities excite me. As an idea generator and inventor, I come up with many new and unique ideas. I research them, work on them and refine them till they are good enough to be experimented on.

The power of an idea. The main motto of TED is "Ideas Worth Sharing" but the greatest idea is itself the power of an idea. The smallest thought, spark, or idea can grow to become one of the world's biggest companies, inventions, or discoveries and can bring changes to extents unimaginable. As they say, an idea is like a wildfire, once it starts spreading, there is no stopping it, because an idea never dies. Every mind is like an ocean of ideas, all we need to do is start searching for the right ones. Start sharing ideas, even the silliest, even the most impractical, even the most improbable, because if people had not tried to achieve the impossible, we wouldn't even know what computers are. Even TED was an idea in an ordinary person's mind decades ago which today has become the largest international forum for ideas to change the world.

My interest in TED and its motto started back in 2014. I would watch a lot of talks and always wished to someday attend a TED Conference. TED has always been my inspiration to never stop thinking of new ideas, no matter how silly or random they may seem. I've had the privilege of organizing a TEDx Event in 2018 and I hope to continue doing so at my university, NIT Rourkela.
