Raghava Ted Talk Reviews

Shake Up Your Story

I really enjoyed this talk because being able to view things from different perspectives is something that I think is important. Raghava's children books and ideas are fantastic--I love how shaking the iPad switches things up to a different perspective, and I agree with his statement that "teaching perspectives is the best way to teach creativity." I think that the worst thing one can do is teach a child to be close-minded and one sided and to only be able to see things from a particular, or "correct" view. I was able to relate my views to this talk, and that's why I enjoyed it so much.

My 5 Lives as an Artist

I loved this talk! I like how Raghava explained the man he met who "died at night, and was born again in the morning," then went on to discuss how he was constantly being born again as he explored himself as an artist. His story was beyond inspiring, sometimes touching, and very much hilarious. His voice really shines through when he presents his ted talks, and that's one thing I liked about watching his two talks.
