Taking out the trash: Priyanka Pardasani at TEDxFoggyBottom

Priyanka Pardasani, a student at the George Washington University, explains how she learned to take out the trash in her life by looking at things with a different perspective.

Priyanka Pardasani is a junior at the George Washington University who is constantly observing (and mostly overanalyzing) her unfolding as a human being and its poetic significance. Coming from a traditionally Hindu family, she seeks to balance spirituality and with real-world focus, hoping for an ideal outcome. Her quest for personal perfection is blended with her overwhelming desire to find humor and comedy in her daily movements. She hopes that through her voyage on earth she can help others understand how beautifully powerful they are in their own right.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
