Its an impossible task to adequately summarize all the ideas and inspiration of this last week at TEDIndia in Mysore. Here are ten quotes – in no particular order – from various talks (attributed where I remember who said it) that stuck in my mind and are worth sharing.

“Write your obituary. If you don’t like the way it reads, change your life, now.”

“If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.” – Lakshmi Pratury

“It’s not charity. It is ourselves we are helping. It’s ourselves we are healing.” – Thulasiraj Ravilla

“We develop grand concepts of happiness, but there are little symbols of happiness in the breath we take.” – His Holiness the Karmapa

“To understand different viewpoints, we have to understand the myths and stories that shape them.” – Devdutt Pattanaik
