I am a first-year student in the International Relations and Political Science program. I am originally from Toronto, Canada and studied at the University of Toronto. I became interested in TED Talks in high school when I was first introduced to them during my classes. Throughout the years, I find myself more and more interested in watching TED talks. They cover every aspect of life, and there is a TED talk for any feeling, emotion, or question you have. They are motivating, yet challenging. They are inspirational, and always leave you with more questions and answers. I joined the TEDxGVAGrad team to be apart of the process to spread the love of TED talks!

Hellooooo, I'm Shruti Lal from the migrations track! With mismatched socks and a constant need to drink sulaimani, I live my life off of Dead Poets Society quotes, Michael Scott's chaos, and history books I haven't read in a while. I don't always know where I'm going, but when Prof Keating said 'what will your verse be?', I knew I had a few adventures that make for a great story.
