Through her talk, Tarunyaa urges us to stop and look at the world around us. She draws attention to the idea of social constructs, their unique malleability, and how the awareness of this can empower us in a way we had never thought of before.
Tarunyaa is a nerd. She loves astronomy AND anime and hence is, irrevocably and undeniably, a ‘n e r d’. She accepts it though. In fact, she wholeheartedly enjoys being a nerd. She relishes inducing existential dread in herself through the medium of stargazing, and she absolutely loves seeing characters react to morally skewed situations in anime. When she is not nerding out, she is attempting to enjoy IB, playing the ukulele in her room, annoying her sister, or engaging with the zeitgeist of the 21st century through Model United Nations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
