I am a passionate and hardworking person. Organizing events and networking with like minded people is what I like the most and I tend to do Quizzing and Debating whenever i get time. I spend a lot of time reading stuff on Quora.

I am passionate about volunteering in and organizing events of social and cultural significance. I also like to share my knowledge and experiences with people who are willing to listen!

Being from a place like Sikkim, I was always of the belief that i am in such a geographically disadvantaged place that i will never be able to achieve anything big in life. Now as I see numerous examples of people around me who, although grew up in the same environment as me, have excelled in their respective fields. For me an idea worth spreading is the idea of "working passionately towards achieving your goal, irrespective of all other factors".

I came to know about TED when i was in my 10th standard, but i never took it seriously, until I got to know about an upcoming TEDx event in my Engineering college. The licensee had invited applications for various positions in the organizing team. That was when i tried to know more about TED and since then there has been no looking back.
