Confessions of a Shopaholic!!

It is a wonder that I haven't talked about my interest (or rather obsession) - SHOPPING!! I LOVE shopping! My record till date is 8 hours nonstop shopping (Thanksgiving '08). I can never forget that! WOW!! That was one helluva day!! I mean I literally "shopped till I dropped". I could no longer stand , that is when I had to stop!!! Shopping is my passion.All my worries and stress just melts away when I go shopping. I know it is kind of an expensive way to relieve stress, but whatever works!! :) I know it is not good to be a shopaholic, but I can't help it, I am so good at it! I feel like I am in cloud 9 when I am shopping. Once I see something that I like ,I HAVE to get it, else I will have a series of nightmares till I get my hands on my target. I agree that this is the worst part of being a shopaholic. But now I am a little better. I try not to be too obsessive and think more about how much I am spending. Still I consider that shopping is one of my best talents. It isn't easy. Most people get tired or bored soon or they are very bad at choosing or they just don't like shopping. But me , I am full of enthusiasm when it comes to shopping. I am an expert at choosing the best among the rest! Oh, I know I sound boastful and pathetic, but this is the only area where I am very very confident and feel very comfortable!So the next time you are bored or need help with shopping , you can always count on me to help you out!! (The Shopping expert, if I may say so myself!! :D)

Procrastination

"Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday! " - Don Marquis

Well at least it is a polite way of saying "You are plain lazy! " I am so good at procrastination that I have become immune to the nagging voice in my head .

"Nothing is so fatiguing that the eternal hanging of an uncompleted task! " -William James

I really agree with this. I feel so frustrated to keep pushing things. I have tried so hard to stop being such a lazy bug, but everyday the procrastination disease gets more and more serious. Like, I have a Math midterm on Friday and I have been thinking about studying for it since 3 weeks. now I have a week left and am still pushing it. I wasted a whole day (but enjoyed it! :) )and I feel so guilty. I have become sickeningly good at convincing myself that I have plenty of time, when I really know that I don't. It is sad that I am so easily distracted which makes it harder for me to study even for hour!

"Procrastination is opportunity's assassin. " ~Victor Kiam

I bet! No one can understand that better than me.


"Procrastination is the thief of time." -Edward Young

Oh I know! :(

I wish there was some kind of a doctor or a procrastination specialist who would prescribe some pills which can avoid humans from procrastinating! Wouldn't that be just lovely?
Well dreaming certainly doesn't help it , so all we have to do is have a firm mind and just overrule our mind when it tries to convince us that tomorrow is the best time to do it.

"Tomorrow is the only day in the year that appeals to a lazy man. " -Jimmy Lyons

Yes, and I don't want to be a lazy person. Starting now, I am going to stop being a jerk and go back to being a nerd (well not completely. I want to be outgoing and not be too bookish ,so I can't sit inside and study all the time. Not that I will ! ) , I mean start pushing off stuff. So, I am going to publish this and get back to Math! :)

A tribute to Shakespeare

Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove;
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken,Love's not Time's fool , though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom.If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
-William Shakespeare





I came across this sonnet in my 12th grade textbook. I remember this poem vividly because this truly captured my heart. William Shakespeare is undoubtedly THE best poet ever! His style and his absolute truth made me love him more than ever. He is my second role model (well first being my dad).

Bucket list!

Today I took a quiz in Facebook (When are you going to die?) because I was so bored and also because I was a little curious! lol!! Well to prove how dumb it was , it showed that I was going to die on October 10th 2008 and told me that I just had a moment!! ha ha!! Apparently the test was outdated besides being dumb!

The thing is when I took this test I started thinking what if the doctor or some reliable source had told me I had a month or maybe 6 months to live, what would I do?

1)I would want to get married with the guy I love the most and that guy should love me too! (I am not saying this would happen in the span of 6 months or that I want the guy to waste his life by marrying me when he knows that I would die). All I want is to die happily, knowing that I was loved, just a wish . I do not expect it to come true.

2)I want to make my family understand that me dying is not that bad and that they should not suffer in sorrow nor should they let my absence consume them (because I know they are very very attached to me and so am I , so I do not want to hurt them when I am leaving this world). This will be my last wish!

3)I want to have a "going away" party! I want to meet everyone I love before I leave and besides I do not want my death to be a sad thing and I do not want people to be gloomy!

4)I want to dance in the rain. I have never danced in the rain and I am a little conscious what people might think. If I am gonna die I don't care what anyone might think!

5)I want to see Europe especially London , Paris and France. I have this desire to see these places from a long long time! I would also love to go to Egypt to see the pyramids.

6)I want to go to the beach and watch the sunset and the ocean, alone so that I can cry . (If I have very less time to live , I will be very upset so I would definitely cry, to remove the pain out my system . I like to cry when I am alone ).

7)I want to plant a Jasmine tree in my garden (in Bangalore, India) and call it "Deepthi" . I do not know why , but I just want to do it! :)

8)I want to go to Banaras , pray and bring the Ganges water back to Banglore, India . ( I want to purify myself . I have heard going to Banaras and once in your a lifetime will purify your soul so that you can go to heaven !)

9)I want to write my feelings and everything that happened to me till I die and then give them to my parents to read ! (I don't want them to be in the dark , I want them to know about their daughter as much as I can tell them! )

10)I want to own a Louis Vuitton handbag . I love LV!

My first Blog!

Weeee!! this is my first blog ...excited? Yesssssss!! To be honest I have no idea what I am supposed to write..(well people are so into blogging these days ..I thought maybe I should give it a try!) I am a very private person. I write my thoughts in my diary! But then I thought - "Why not give people access into my little mind!! eh??" , so here I am sitting in my University library on a bright Friday morning plunging into the world of blogging!

Before I start blabbering , let me introduce myself properly :

Name : Deepthi Cauligi
Nickname: Dee, Deep, Depp, Dodo(don't even ask!!! ), Deeps, Deepu
Age:hmm..maybe I should keep some stuff private!
Interests: Fashion , Writing and Reading.


I think that's enough of background about me! (Well I am bit lazy right now to write everything..besides it would take me pages and pages to write about me! :P)

I am an Indian and love being one! Jai Ho!!! :D
I am currently living in America and I love US but India will always be my home and heaven!! :)

It is amazing how a person can change as they grow up - take me for instance , I used to hate sports and physical activity till high school..but now I love exercising, doing any kind of physical activity.
I always wanted to be alone, but now , I want to be surrounded with people. You get the idea right?!

I have this weird or rather unique habit of naming my favorite inanimate objects!
My two wheeler was (Yea I had to sell it when I moved to America! :( ) named Dorinda ("A beautiful gift")
My laptop is called Danita ("God's gift") .
My ipod is named Dorri("Gift")

Well these are all my favorite objects and I love them so much!!

Don't get me wrong , I love people a lot too!! ha ha!

I have always wanted to become
1 --> Journalist
2--> Fashion Designer
3--> Archeologist

Well all I can say I am on the way to be one of these! I am so excited about it!!(I am not gonna give everything away!)
One more thing to note is that I use a lot of exclamations because I feel that they add excitement !!

I love suspense. To me my life is a big suspense, I wait eagerly everyday to see how my days folds! Each day is like watching a thriller - you never know what happens next ! I am trying to be positive these days! Yup ..I have a pessimistic edge!!

Well let me wrap up..'coz I think you would just get bored if I go on writing ceaselessly, besides this was just a sample!
