At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data -- including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper "laptop".

In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he'll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

The basic cornerstones of success can be defined in 8 words. In our eternal quest for success, we always concentrate on major issues, neglecting - conveniently - the smaller steps.

Without these small steps, we can't lay a strong foundation on which to construct our castle of life success.

The key words are 1.Work, 2.Focus, 3.Persist, 4.Ideas, 5.Good, 6.Push, 7.Serve and 8.Passion.
