In a riveting and deeply personal TED Talk, Pragya Parijat Singh took the audience on a journey through her life, embodying the essence of resilience, determination, and human connection.

Growing up in a humble background, Pragya faced numerous challenges that tested her spirit. From limited resources to societal constraints, she constantly grappled with obstacles that would deter most. However, it was her unyielding determination and unwavering belief in herself that set her apart. With an innate thirst for knowledge, Pragya's academic aspirations led her to the revered halls of Cambridge University. While her admission to such a prestigious institution was a testament to her brilliance, it was her journey of getting there that was truly aweinspiring. She spoke candidly about the sleepless nights, the hours spent in dimly lit rooms pouring over books, and the sacrifices she made, all fueled by her dream to study at Cambridge. But it wasn’t all about academia. Pragya emphasized the importance of human connections, of bonds formed in the unlikeliest of places. She shared stories of mentors who saw potential in her when she couldn't see it in herself and friends who became her family, offering emotional and moral support during her most challenging times.Central to her narrative was a particular bond that transformed her life. This bond, she explained, was neither of blood nor obligation but of shared dreams, struggles, and aspirations. It was this bond that provided her with the strength to surmount the insurmountable.

Closing her talk, Pragya Parijat Singh left the audience with a poignant message: "Our backgrounds and circumstances may define our starting points, but they don’t determine our end goals. With tenacity, hard work, and the right bonds, the sky is the limit."

An inspiration to all, Pragya's journey serves as a powerful reminder of the heights one can achieve, irrespective of where they start, and the profound impact of human connections on our life's trajectory.
