Why Too Many Choices Leave Us Hungry | Arjun Gadi | TEDxOakridgeGachibowli
In a world where food delivery apps offer endless cuisines at our fingertips, why do we still find ourselves staring at menus, unable to decide—or worse, unsatisfied with what we finally choose? Through the lens of Buridan’s Donkey and the everyday struggle of choosing between biryani, sushi, or pizza, Arjun explores the Paradox of Choice; how abundance can overwhelm rather than empower us. Blending humour, psychology, and food stories, he reveals practical strategies (taco-inspired, of course!) to break free from indecision, fight decision fatigue, and make choices that truly nourish both the body and mind. Arjun Gadi is an energetic, passionate student with a love for food and the culinary arts. As a true foodie and cook, he enjoys experimenting with flavors, as he believes the kitchen is not just a place to prepare food but also to innovate. His experiments make their way into the sciences, as he explores fascinating fields in physics with real-world impact. Along with his culinary passion, he is an avid public speaker, having participated in many MUNs and spoken on various stages. As an open-minded individual, he embraces new opportunities, especially those that take him out of his comfort zone. Beyond this, he finds balance through endurance running and swimming, channeling his energy into pursuits that challenge both mind and body. At TEDx, he hopes to bring a new perspective that inspires and creates a lasting impact on the audience.
