[applause] When I was a boy, I didn't really know what the word service really meant, but I knew what it looked like. You see, on Saturday mornings, my mother would take me with her as she would walk around to various homes in our neighborhood of people who could not read and write. My mother would open their mail, read their mail out loud, and then write checks so that they could pay their bills with dignity.And at that time I didn't really understand but my mother was teaching me something very profound. ...

from the mountains to the mind. From memory to machine, we build what we believe in. Together we rise, emerging from sound, from silence, from soul.Under the same sky we learn to begin. From ashes of noise to meaning within. Every line we grow, each bridge we restore is a whisper of wisdom becoming much more.We are the builders, the dreamers of life. Carving our future from day and from night. Through hardened reason, we find our way clear.Emerging structures starting here. From day to heartbeat, from leadi ...

[applause] I grew up between two continents. Public schools in America, private schools in India. Sneakers and sarcasm one year, scratchy wool shorts the next.I never truly belonged to either world. But moving between them taught me something vital. How to bridge divides, listen deeply, and hold opposing truds at once.That experience became the foundation for a belief that I carry into my life and work. The radical middle, the space between extremes in which real change is possible. Now, in my work, that me ...

[applause] Growing up, kids often pointed out the differences in the way my face looked before they ever got to know me. Eventually, those comments became more specific. Why is your face drooping.Why do you look so weird. But these weren't whispers or side comments. They were spoken openly to me long before I even had the words to respond.I was born with seventh cranial nerve palsy, a condition that paralyzes the muscles on one side of my face. For reference, here's what I looked like then. It was around fi ...

When I was 3 years old, I met this girl. She was sort of cute, but she didn't do anything for herself. She couldn't carry on a conversation. She would just yell for no reason, multiple times every night. And she pooped her pants like all the time. And yet all of the grown-ups who I thought understood everything simply adore this this monster, my brand new sister. I just couldn't figure it out. Why did they love her so much? And why did I? My conclusion at the time was that my baby sister just had some kind ...

Hello everyone, I'm Nina and today I want to talk about a topic that is both futuristic and incredibly realistic in an era of ever advancing artificial intelligence. Will our happiness increase or will it diminish. It is a question that set at the heart of our modern anxiety.A debate filled with utopia dreams and dystopia fears. On one side, we envision a world that liberated us from toil and diseases where AI unlocks highest potential. On the other side, we fear of a future of mass unemployment, social iso ...

Actor Aham Sharma takes the TEDxNMFC stage to explore the often misunderstood craft of acting—not as entertainment alone, but as a philosophy of living. Drawing from renowned acting coaches like Uta Hagen and Stella Adler, he unpacks how great acting goes far beyond memorizing lines or following direction. True performance, he argues, is about empathy, vulnerability, sensitivity, and understanding the human condition. Sharma discusses how actors learn to observe, feel, and respond with honesty—skills that n ...
