This was the author’s second-ever TEDx talk and inspired thousands of people with his exceptional insights. The talk which was held in Pune saw a mixture of a live speaker with a live audience which proved to be a very mesmerizing experience for the author. The author talks about happy parenting and how the upbringing of children has a great impact on their flourishing. Being a father himself, which he described as the most important part of his life, the author talks about how a child should have the freedom to pursue what they want. After all, a child is going to build the life they want to live on their terms and a parent’s support and love play a great role in their lives and success, as explained beautifully by the inspiring author.
