From Nothing to Something Against All Odds | Gaurav Anand | TEDxYouth@LAHSGwalior

An interesting & engrossing talk that reveals a three step formula to success which is based on intuition, belief and effort.

Gaurav discovered photography while still in school, where he didn't find himself to be good at anything else. Soon this discovery turned into a passion for him and he decided to take it up as a career. He had to face a lot of resistance for making this unconventional career choice but his resolve was steadfast. Some five years ago he embarked upon his journey on this road less taken and found the universe helping him in realizing his dream. Beginning with small obscure assignments he went on to work on the globally acclaimed documentary NDTV Lightening the Himalayas and has never looked back. He's driven by intuition and believes that struggle or difficulty is a matter of perception. Artistic pursuits as per him are extremely important as art is a medium that has the power to show a mirror to the society. He says his journey has been beautiful and he would like more and more youngsters to follow their dreams and take up creative work.
