Theme: Discover and Rediscover

From one moment to another, memory steps back to rediscover the past and comprehend the meaning or define its true colors. If we are to go forward, we must go back to discover and rediscover certain elements that hinge on our foundations. TEDxSJCETPalai is a celebration of individuality. It brings light on the need to explore and discuss ideas from different and novel perspectives. It is also about a gentle reminder; to always rediscover one another because we are forever changing.
