Theme: Palette of Perspectives

"The greatest masterpieces were once only pigments on a palette."
-Henry S. Hoskins

We, at TEDxLNMIIT, aim to empower the ideas of those who turned the world into a canvas, ready to paint the town red with their brilliance.
The flipside of coins.
The existence of alternatives.
The opposite way of looking at life, the black to your white.
It's a blend of contrasting shades, it's a promise to make sense out of absolute nonsense.

Samar Mehdi

Percussion Guitarist

Born in Bhopal to a middle-class household, Samar broke his family’s institutional pattern early and had his heart set on music quite stubbornly. For a long time, he sneaked his way to learning instruments in school and at home when his parents were away, starting with the snare drum in his school’s marching band (aged 10) and moving on to the flute and saxophone, among other instruments in the same arrangement within the next three years. Eventually, he found his way to the guitar, and that brought forth a new purpose to his songwriting. Samar quickly emerged as one of the best guitarists from his region, as emphasized by his 440Hz solo stunt that got him through to top 10 of the competition that had over a hundred entries from all over the country. More recently, this self-taught musician along with Saby Singh was on the road with Hai Khabar, an Indie Music Cross-Country Tour across 22 cities, that hosted 25 shows in a span of 45 days.
