How Expression Becomes Survival | Aditya Tiwari | TEDxVBIT

In this bold TEDx talk, poet and journalist Aditya Tiwari shares how growing up gay in a small Indian town shaped his voice and nearly silenced it. From surviving homophobia to writing for global publications and becoming a BBC producer, Aditya reveals the unexpected force behind his journey: delusion. For him, delusion means believing in a future no one else can see and chasing it with action, persistence, and unapologetic self-belief. Through poetry, activism, and journalism, he learned to turn rejection into fuel and untold stories into power. This talk is a reminder: your dreams don’t need permission. Be delusional, just smart enough to make it real. Aditya Tiwari’s voice spans continents and platforms with his work featured in Times Of India, VICE, The Telegraph, Hindustan Times, and more. Whether it’s reporting from the ground, writing poetry, or producing podcasts, he captures the raw, real, and often overlooked stories of our time. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
