The Power of Silence! | Ms. Kavya Rawal | TEDxYouth@JGIS
What if silence wasn’t a void — but a voice?In this deeply moving and introspective TEDx talk, RJ Kavya Rawal, a well-known radio jockey, explores the profound impact of silence in a world that never stops talking. 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.
“Because silence isn’t the absence of sound… it’s the presence of meaning.” Kavya Rawal is an accomplished radio professional, voice artist, and content creator based in Ahmedabad. With a background in Psychology and Mass Communication & Journalism, she combines academic insight with a natural flair for storytelling. Kavya began her career as an evening show host at Fever 95 FM and now hosts the popular morning show on 104 Mirchi Love Ahmedabad, where her distinctive voice and engaging style connect with thousands of listeners every day. She has interviewed celebrated figures across film, music, sports, and digital media, and has anchored numerous high-profile events. As a seasoned voice actor, Kavya has lent her voice to thousands of ads, films, and campaigns. A guest lecturer, competition judge, and prior TEDx speaker, she continues to inspire audiences with her authenticity, resilience, and dynamic presence.
