Is it ok to be selfish? | Vilen | Vipul Dhankher | TEDxNMIMSShirpur

If people just understand this much! Half the problems will disappear from the world and also question if we are actually doing something for others like we like to think or is it just an automatic secondary purpose solved with our selfishness. Born on 7th February 1995 Vipul Dhankher aka Vilen is an Indian Independent artist, who astonished the whole world with his first song that he ever made. Not being a musician Vilen wrote, composed, sang, directed the video, produced music and even edited the video. The song was the first thing that was uploaded and has now crossed 200 million views without any promotions and he continues to amaze people with his philosophies and musical and visual art through his Independent Music Record Label DARKS MUSIC COMPANY. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
