I didn't speak English until I came to Pittsburgh,

Grunge came from a group of English photographers, and they were documenting their own reality... I'm South American - we celebrate life.

I was eleventh-grade class president. That was the first elective office I held until I came into Congress.

I think that with a lot of hard work and dedication, I feel that I could be the best in the world. I'm still only 35 years old... I have a fresh start physically and mentally, and I feel that I can achieve my goal to be the best again.

I could never muster the courage to speak to girls in my college in Pune. Most of them were Parsis and spoke English. I came from a village and could barely converse in English.
