Dots at TEDxMumbai

"The more the I learnt, the more I learn about my smallness.
I learnt that I was a dot, and I always will be one.
A line takes two dots. This line is small part of a circle.
Viola!! There is just enough space for me to fit in make a circle"

This post is a way to let the tingling sensations the the back of my mind.. I've put in my diary the things that I learnt at TEDxMumbai, and people whom I met, but I want others to know about them and get connected. As Steve Jobs says "It is all about connecting the dots".

TEDxMumbai @ Bluefrog Part-3

I think I have attended the TED conference primarily to write as I explained in the previous post...omg!!!.. how melodramatic is that? jokes apart. but I think what happened on Friday at Bluefrog (Club members having problems with Lakshmi and TEDxMumbai entirely walking off) actually showed us mirrors...
However hard we may canvas ourselves as mighty billion ones riding with new vision, new outlook breaking barriers and creating new frontiers some pockets of dirt keep hitting back...They are like those litters of bus/train ticket that remain in our pockets and come out really messy after laundry wash.. they spoil the entire fabric, because the particles have actually become a part of the fabric...

TEDxMumbai @ Bluefrog Part-1

Some days you wish never end. You wish they go on an on and on.
Today TEDxMumbai @Bluefrog was definitely on of them, where I just soaked in everything that I could like a sponge.

Though I will not elaborate much about the speakers and the entire day's happenings, the videos would be uploaded soon on TED page but would put down points that I jotted in my diary. Did somebody check out the live feeds that were available for free???

Morning:
The first session was about "Hopes and Dreams"-- Obama's listening!!!
First speaker for the day, Viren Rasquina started off li'l nervously and shared his insights on India's potential to be Olympic gold winning machine. He captured the audience with this "It takes only 6 grams worth of gold to lift a nation".. still feel my hair standing on end..
