How a tea seller travels the world | K.R Vijayan | TEDxThiruvananthapuram
When it comes to Mr. Vijayan, a tea seller from Kochi who travelled to 16 countries from the income he got on his tea stall, a decade’s worth of stories echoing hard work, sweat and conquered dreams fall onto our laps. He serves as one of the best examples of the famous proverb, “Where there is a will, there is a way”.
In this talk, he shares his experience of how he managed to travel to several countries despite his modest background.

Inspiration. Out of that 170 trips to Tirupathi, one trip, we travelled together. Actually, he took me to Tirupathi for the first time.

ഇവിടുത്തെ യാത്രകൾ മതിയാക്കി മനുഷ്യബുദ്ധിക്ക് പിടി തരാത്ത ഏതോ ഒരു ലോകത്തേക്ക് കൂടുതൽ യാത്രകൾ കാണാൻ അദ്ദേഹം പുറപ്പെട്ടു!!!
വിജയൻ ചേട്ടൻ, എല്ലാവരെയും സ്വപ്നം കാണുന്നതിന് പ്രേരിപ്പിച്ച മനുഷ്യൻ. ആദരാഞ്ജലികൾ
Only Malayalam speech which I have heard on TeDex. Happy moment for all the Keralites! ❤️
The way he speaks shows us that journeys can teach a person alot
Meekness gleamed in his face, words and attitude. "അങ്ങനെ ഞങ്ങൾ Made for each other ആയി." This was my favourite sentence throughout. My best regards to the couple.💕
His aim and attitude made him different from the rest... Very inspiring.. (Remembering a proverb-He who returns from a journey is not the same as he who left). Thank you for the video..

Sad news : We also wish to see him our heart sank when we heard the news Rest in piece Vijayan Chetan
What a coincidence !!! This is the very same man in whose wayside ramshacle but very clean ' BALAJI hotel ' I used to land morning and evening almost every day for the last 6 months for my fill of Dosa & chutney, 8 Poori set and vada parcels for office. The hall walls are pasted with travelogues of the KRV couple and visits of the celebrities. One of the very very few malayalees who made it to TED !

He speaks beautifully.
tea sellers are doing great, one travelling the world, other making crores in delhi, and another one ruling the country. where as graduates sit home watching these getting inspired so that thier children learn what they missed
What a confident man... His perspective on life 👏... His confidence about hard work... I pray for him and his family's health...may he and his wife travel the whole world 🙏
Words from the heart. Beautifully delivered. Very inspiring.
You are a great human being! Dreams do Come true 🌏 Travel Explore Experience !! ❤
There are lessons to be learned from this amazing person.... respect from deep my heart.....Vijayan Sir...
Wow, Dream and desires led him to action. This is much more effective than many other motivational speeches. This is the absolutely inspirational speech, which comes from real life.
kr vijayan from my state.. kerala..
Truly a different person. He was a typical international kind. He was living at the moment..not like many who starts living after retirement and after closing all the loans. He was such a great human being. May his soul rest in peace
According to my opinion his inspirational life must be taken to academic ...
A tea seller in india become the Indian prime minister🇮🇳. Who is that guy🤔(hardwork make any person to reach the top otherthan he is apoor guy thats not a reason for reaching top)proud to be an INDIAN🔥🔥🔥
Inspiration to thousands all around the world despite ages.....setting a model living a simple and happy life with his sweet heart making all their dreams come true...God bless you sir...Best wishes and regards
Hatsoff to you Sir..You proved that "if there is a will,there is a way".
keep traveling uncle✈ beautiful speech😊
Feeling proud of you big salute
1) dream big 2) everything is possible 3) set a goal and accomplish it one by one 4) people around you will make fun of you, but don't bother 5) the same people who made fun of you will tell you are an inspiration
Respect your will power Vijayan chetta. Billion salutes !!!
I was lucky enough to have met this beautiful soul last year 🙂
So happy to see him on TED talks
Such a great inspiration! He taught us how to dream! RIP vijayettan
That's the best inspiration that I have ever got from a ted event... I don't know why.... But it touched me a lott
Sir , you & your wife are a great inspiration to all the keralites Your story really fascinates everyone!
This is a true inspirational story which I want to tell the Indians. Don't do small time job instead do small time business. This I have suggested to many friends in past and my belief grew stronger today. Try to make yourself loan free and start a business. India is growing rapidly. India needs entrepreneurs and businesses. India is shining. Don't waste your time in small jobs. Start a business today.
He needed a standing ovation!!!!
Salute!
RIP....Thanks for inspiring us. You will always be remembered Sir....
True inspiration 👌🏽
