My first Tedx Talk: From Pain to Purpose – My TEDx Journey

August 30, 2025 – A date etched in my life for more than one reason. Exactly 11 years ago , I got engaged. And on that very same date this year, I received a life-changing opportunity: my first TEDx talk , hosted at GGI under the inspiring theme “Chase the Impossible.” Standing on that red dot, I felt a mix of emotions — excitement , nervousness , and the quiet ache of loss , having lost my wife, whose memories remain deeply rooted in my heart. In my talk, I shared a story born in the midst of COVID-19 — a time when Ms. Renu and I were both navigating personal grief in different ways.

How to minify JSON in powershell?

 Recently, I had a requirement to minify json using powershell and I learnt that it is pretty simple and thought of adding it to my blog as well so that it can serve as future notes for me as well.

Here is my sample JSON

[
  {
    "name": "gaurav",
    "age": "32",
    "id": 1
  },
  {
    "name": "sunny",
    "age": "35",
    "id": 2
  }
]

Here is the powershell script:
$report = Get-Content './report.json' | Out-String
$minifiedJSON = (ConvertFrom-Json $report) | ConvertTo-Json -Compress;
Write-Host $minifiedJSON;
$minifiedJSON | Out-File -FilePath '.\minified.json'
Here is the output:
[{"name":"gaurav","age":"32","id":1},{"name":"sunny","age":"35","id":2}]
