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)

Mamnoon, the way you drag the audience down to the crude reality is amazing. How can we pour this into the ears of the policy makers or the guardians of this exploding city? Wish they would realize through your soothing talk. Excellent deliberation.

Greed and negligence are things to be despised. People's safety is more important than money.
