that horizon is a place where we all
want to beat quarta we’re not able to
reach is an illusion to us in today’s
life worth a different kind of horizons
I feel like we always want to see
ourself right rather than thinking about
actually what is right like in Star Wars
movies in 1994 when dr. soil wanted to
live in a nexus word where he always
wanted to be happy but he couldn’t
because it’s not real it’s not real to
be happy all the time it’s a resolution
would like in my entire life i came
across different kind of people where
there was in my childhood I saw people
who always wanted to make money there
were journals but yet they’re friends
like money is they think for them to be
happy but they couldn’t be when I mean
school i came across bunch of people who
will do anything to make money they will
not hesitate to realize or you shot one
in order to make money is by the time i
was in college i came across a force
which were willing to give their skills
selflessly they were aware that money is
important part of life but they well
they didn’t want it to this week what if
I corner correct but they they wanted to
jump on someone else shoulder to call
themself taller during that time I was
trying to find myself how can I be in a
full circle where I can find my way out
and be happy and that time I came across
an organization called you are
unstoppable they will just request you
you came through overs of P and do the
wallet of work I joined them to the
right or I’ll be some new cool because I
do some one in the work and make myself
happy but I got addicted
then I got addicted to their project
value just request you to go and
orphanage and spend time with people to
do some flood relief all they will just
ask you to water take one of the school
I take special classes during that time
I came across this place called Silicon
faith when I first heard about this
place I thought they some catch how is
it possible that a place like this can’t
exist in 11 years the spacer is existed
you walk into the place they request you
to leave all your negative thoughts
outside the gate and walk in with a
positive mind then read you like a
banking man with hand then serve your
food and there is the means you get a
plan hand with them and you can pay
whatever you wish to pay and nobody is
going to check how much you pay and I
was surprised to hear that how is it was
you but how the place like that can
exist so that circle is like someone
else has already paid for your food in
order to get this circle going you pay
what you wish to be and most of the cafe
is done by volunteers even if you want
you can go and cook you can wash dishes
and do anything and so I wanted to know
that who is the person behind this idea
I came to have a lot of local and
international volunteers who came
together to run this place alongside I
was one gentleman who’s guiding force
they were using as a principal his name
is mr. joy
fine he’s been doing some incredible
work from last 25 years and he started
an organization called mera saath along
with bunch of his friends we’re now take
care of more than 8,000 kids and women
they take care of their education they
take other health care and they also
take care of a biggest slum in gujarat
mumbai take a movie he was the world who
helped me to realize that in today’s
world what we are doing is we are just
trying to pull over central rather than
thinking what is that it because that’s
not the way forward if we keep on saying
here always that we also need to balance
it out and see outside the world what is
happening and during that time I wanted
to move to Bombay but I was not sure
what I we go and do that so I just
picked up my camera and just move to
Bombay before that I was working as a
journalist in a newspaper called in an
ex-president DNA but after six months in
one newspaper I realizes too much for me
to do a 96 job there was a burden me so
I said let’s just pick up a camera move
to go pay but I was not aware what to do
that I just moved it in a 13-hour
decision it took me a few months to find
my grounds but at the last I was good at
me for two years I was able to make good
money few people knew me but somewhere
deep down the heart I Fred i’m not happy
i’m missing something and making money
but still it’s not making me happy what
should i do i went bad for him the worth
spending some time with people there who
inspired may be fast and i came back to
berkeley and i realized that this art
which taught me to be free is actually
how can i put a price on the freedom how
can i say to someone that this is what i
want so I realized when I
pictures it makes people happy it brings
smile on this basis and those people can
be anyone rich poor faithless family but
can you compare the happiness can you
compare the smile can you say happiness
of you is larger than a bigger of
happiness of me know right so I realize
why to restrict my heart only to the
people who can afford to pay the
benchmark which I’m asking what’s the
part of someone who is less money cannot
have a good photographer so since then I
decided doesn’t matter who you are as
long as I’m free you pay what you wish
to pay and I do your job same way in a
same again mr. you are not paying for
your campaign for the next person so all
was going well until in 2014 I decided
again there’s something else is missing
this this is fine now I’m letting people
pay what they want to pay so I heard
about few people who are done penance
journeys in past so to come 14 I
randomly decided to walk from vomit of
that in 50 days without any money no
cash no current me the idea was to see
three things that in today’s life when
you meet a stranger how must leap of
faith do you put on stranger but a meter
stranger who doesn’t have money how do
you react and third what is my tolerance
level if someone says no to help me does
it hurt my ego do I feel insulted do I
get insecure do I get angry you do
against said to find all those things I
traveled from bomb material it took me
18 days idea was to be in 50 days but
after three days of walking I couldn’t
walk further so I started hitchhiking
and doing that time whenever I feel
hungry I’ll just go to a shop and said
I’m hungry I don’t have money for should
we do then start laughing so either they
say no so as I say thank you move on and
if they say yes let us first need the
phone and never explain them while doing
this and next to it I still felt maybe
it was easy for me to do in India
because I knew the language i give the
highways i slept only one night without
any food so let’s try somewhere outside
india you know we are very cute this
week you you need to find out why we are
getting things done easily so we
challenge our stuff I said let me tell
it myself outside it here I was only
going to Thailand and 2015 for some work
so I requested my client to book my
return flight to Singapore and India and
I wanted to travel from Singapore India
without carrying any money no cash no
card but of course I got my visa sorted
because as we all know ended possible
older is not that strong that you can
just walk into a country without being
any visa-free or visa on arrival so i
started my visa and i started my journey
into 115 from there by the time I
reached island border I was sent back
they said you don’t have money become a
law in her country so I thought him and
Johnny is over here I was walking to an
heiress and put in Malaysia at that time
I met someone at the airport where do
you want me a ticket to come bode a
while Kuala Lumpur so I found my way to
vietnam from there and by the time I
reach Vietnam my health started
suffering because being a vegetarian if
someone if anyone who have in Southeast
Asia is
not easy to find a vegetarian food
especially when you don’t have money you
eat what you get you have to survive on
that so I decided let me finish my
journey here because a journey was not
to prove it to someone the journey was
my own self discovery so finish my
journey came back to india the valley
cave and i was like something again is
missing and i’ve been watching a lot of
videos on YouTube about people giving
free hugs around the world so it was
like how about I stand with the boat on
the body which says give a hug get a
free picture it’d be perfect gift maybe
I which will through my skills so for 20
verse on the value I’m here to my house
in Bombay has to be this bored and I
said bitch assume people by email or
whatsapp but at the christmas came i
said let’s meet here it was fun so did
the same thing and while doing that the
thought came in my mind why am i
sleeping my son just to Bombay why not
go pan-india so in last year I decided
to travel on this motorbike it created a
box when I decide to run across your
name of 15,000 kilometers with a board
which will say given or get a free
picture the language will change it
depends on the state angry and that time
I actually carried a printer so i can
give out Prince to the people this is a
photo of a place I found in back in
pondicherry where people they’re so
happy that they wanted to come and give
me a group hug and they say I want to
travel in us from me out to LA I don’t
know if I managed to because it’s quite
expensive and after the restriction
right now
I don’t know if they will let me enter
or not so and I find that a lot of
people around me like me I see that they
are fellows of sleep who actually
started working the way I work is a
picture of a friend on the right Maya
she studied in UK NASA maka University
where which was co-founded by actually a
person from Delhi around 40 to 50 years
ago called mr. satish kumar in 1962 he
traveled from Peter to us without
carrying any he walks in Tulsa Mize will
be journey and his motive was to meet
leaders of for super permission and
because them to create a neutral people
that’s it he just started anyone he
reached that and he still when he
managed to meet those people and it was
not able to convince them we can all see
what’s happening in the world but still
he tried sumaya right now she lives
didn’t go up and whatever she studied
from that again I said she wanted to see
if she could try out in real life or not
so she started small she started doing
barter system as she is good at
documentary she offered her documentary
skills to someone who is a good time to
ask this so she got a title down on her
body and she made a document you about
that guy about one day in the artists
life he’ll this mr. bhaskar way he has
been shot from last 10 years and it’s a
mcafee and recently he discovered his
passionate photography where he wanted
to connect born so photography knee like
nature and wildlife photography so he
started giving gifts pictures as a gift
to the people whose of
meet him because he wanted to exchange
that ok want to create a platform
through art and he wants to create a
portal now but who can even can come if
you don’t have money it doesn’t matter
there is no price if you want to pay you
pay otherwise you just pass all these
pictures to other people and create a
dialogue with it at the end I just
wanted to say that all of us remember to
smile because you don’t know who is
falling in love with this man thank you [Applause]
