About
Okay so I’m this twenty something year old girl who lives close to a vibrant city that she loves. I express myself through photography and all sorts of visual arts. I’m a engineer in the computer field during the day and a artistic free spirit at night. There’s not much else to me. I live a happy life with people I love and I appreciate the simple more than anything else (except maybe food, haha).
Between my photography, I’ll be posting some personal things, some fun things, and some of my dabblings into art, design and travel. This is sort of a brain dump, a place where I can just post whatever!
Oh and about the name of this blog. A few years ago my grandfather used the term to refer to me. He called me an unbroken horse which infuriated me at the time. Coming from a culture where I felt a woman’s accomplishments are to be reined in at education , marriage, and child-rearing, I kinda wanted to take a different route and well, it was met with some resistance. I used to have arguments with my grandfather about everything. He died in 2007 from complications due to cancer.
The name he called me years ago stuck with me. He never called me that name without love in his voice. He wasn’t wrong. I just wanted who I was to be normal… but looking back I realize I am what he said and he knew this because he was my grandfather. In a way he had the authority to coin that name since his life itself was uncommon for his time. From the businesses he opened to the woman he fell in love with and pursued (unbelievably bold at that time), my grandfather was a man who came from the barefoot villages of India to become who he was, a god fearing, risk taking, mechanical engineer; a man with much more gumption than I could possibly hope to have.
So now I look at the name as a sort of badge of honor. Something for me to live up to. Because of him, in two generations we’ve come from poverty to established upper class America. So, I’ve taken it upon myself to kinda continue the trend. To be brave, to be different. In that sense, I want to be just like my Grandfather.
