Hi, I'm Priyanka! (You can call me Priya for short) I'm 22 and live in the Windy City. I am a writer, musician, ballet lover, art freak, and shakespeare enthusiast.

The Princess and the Peacoat is my inspiration tumblr. Pretty pictures go there. Gifs, edits, memes, cute animals, and fandom freakouts live here! (fyi, nowadays this blog is 95% Qubool Hai, 2.5% Bollywood, and 2.5% everything else)

When a collective of female computer programmers in Kenya needed a name for their ladies-only club, they took their inspiration from the Japanese cult film Akira.

“So akira is a Japanese word. It means energy and intelligence. And we are energetic and intelligent chicks,” says Judith Owigar, the president of Akirachix.

A group like Akirachix would have been unthinkable even five years ago. But Kenya is making a big push toward IT — part of a plan to create a middle-class country by the year 2030.

Pretty awesome story.
