The Power of Silence! | Ms. Kavya Rawal | TEDxYouth@JGIS

As someone whose life revolves around sound and conversation, she shares how her greatest lessons didn’t come from what she said — but from what she didn’t.Through real on-air experiences and honest reflection, RJ Kavya reveals how silence can heal, connect, and humanize us. She reminds us that in the rush to say more, do more, and post more, we often forget the beauty of simply pausing — of truly listening.
