U TURN: Sam Daniel Stalin at TEDxCEG

After five years as a lecturer in English, he realised he wanted his stories to reach a wider audience outside the boundaries of the classroom. He started his career in media as a reporter in Tamil on Star Vijay TV and now he is the Chief Correspondent of NDTV 24x7. Elections, calamities, sports,politics, bureaucratic apathy, oppression - he has seen it all! He shares about his U Turn and how that has changed his life.

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)
