Friends who have been to Ted events had told me that this was something to watch out for. (Dunno when the next TEDIndia will happen) Now that you’ve painted the picture of things as they are, I have to kick myself for not being there.

The only difference between what I hard earlier and from what you write is this : I was told that TED aims to be showcase of thoughts, ideas, technology and trends that MAY have a bearing to the future. Wereas you’re making it out to be a pure tech event. But this is second hand info both ways and I could be wrong on either counts .
