The forgotten courage of engineering | Guru Madhavan | TEDxLogan Circle
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-03 17:44
We are so busy chasing the new that we have forgotten what makes the new possible. There's an ancient Sanskrit concept that can guide us back. Jir no dhara it means digest and advance to take what you inherit and make it flourish. I saw this growing up in an Orthodox Hindu family in rural South India. When our temples aged we revived them rekindling their wisdom for the future. The consecration rituals lasted days. Holy waters over the crowns, fire altars, offerings of spices, grains, honey, sandal paste, a ...

Throughout most of its history, the music industry has sold songs individually as singles, right. First on vinyl, then on cassettes, then on CDs, and now on streaming platforms. In the 1970s, as music production techniques got more advanced, record producers would popularize the idea of the remix, a reworking of the single with some additional elements.Now, it's a pretty simple concept, but music lovers will know that hip-hop truly embraced and amplified this phenomenon, often with a fearless creativity. I ...
Short-Term Pain For Long-Term Success | DANIEL OKWARA | TEDxDiobu
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-03 17:37

It's a very hard task but a sacrifice that you must be willing to make.How do I mean. Sometime in 2012 I went to China my first trip for importation to get some goods down to this country Nigeria and that the limited fund that I had could not afford me up to 25% of a 20 ...
Mastering The Art of Asking Questions | KINGSLEY IME | TEDxDiobu
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-03 17:34
[Music] I was blessed not to have everything I wanted in life. If I do or if I did, I probably won't be doing what I'm doing today. See, I lost my father 23 years ago and life became very interesting.Now, don't get me wrong, I miss my father every day. But when my dad died, I began to find the path to who I am as a person. I began to ask questions about how I can be better as a person.I wanted more because I discovered I could speak and I could talk. And I said I wanted to be a speaker, but I didn't have an ...
Alchemy of Impossible | Shiv Mandlik | TEDxSAJS Lucknow Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-03 17:08
They say curiosity killed the cat, but what they don't tell you is that it build everything else. Hi, I'm Shiv. And honestly, I've spent most of my life trying to ask the kind of question that makes people go, "Wait, are you serious?" But that's the fun part, isn't it.Because when we think of alchemists, we think about strange men in smoky rooms trying to turn lead into gold. But maybe maybe they were not trying to chase gold after all. What they were trying to chase was something I call the impossible.And ...
