Sometimes its good to be random!

I love to go on Facebook and see everybody's photos because it helps me understand and get to know that person better. What makes them smile, where do they go, how do they dress up, what kind of friends do they hang out with etc. There is a reason why they say "a picture says a 1000 words!"

I love to dream about my future, what kind of house will I be living in , where will I be, what will I be doing, where will I be shopping, what kind of work will I be doing and other such stuff...its fun and completely pointless! I love dreaming because " dreams do come true if we wish hard enough!"

I love to be mysterious because it makes people curious and want to get to know me better. I am mysterious and I will continue to be.

I love to smile because it brings happiness to all including me. It gives me immense joy in seeing others smile. So I assume that if I smile and be happy, everyone else will also feel the same. "Smile is indeed contagious!"

I love to help people around me because it brings happiness to them making them smile in turn making me happy and making me want to smile and spread the happiness.

I love to write because it helps me reveal my thoughts and show the world what I believe in.  "Pen is definitely mightier than the sword! - a Computer is definitely mightier than the sword!"

I love taking pictures because I can go back and see the pictures. I can smile and cherish the moments all over again, it is as good as a time machine! "

I love to do many more things but sometimes its good to stop before it gets too boring! :)

Random Truths

I thought I would share some random truths about myself and life!

I realized that when my hair is all well settled and looks good, my confidence level is high and I feel generally happy and chirpy. Weird, right?

I am sure everyone will agree to this; when I am idle , with nothing to do I get the most horrible and depressing thoughts. "Idle mind is a devil's workshop" is absolutely true. I try to keep myself busy constantly to keep myself happy and cheerful. Experience speaking!

When someone is crazy about me, I don't value them. I get irritated and wonder why they are so sweet to me. When I am crazy about someone, they move farther away from me. I recently realized that!

Its always better to do my own work, rather than being dependent on someone because only I can put my best efforts. Others will do it just for the sake of doing it.

Be careful what you wish for, because wishes do come true not always at the right time!

A smile can definitely change my day and is contagious. Whenever someone smiles at me I feel so happy and I pass on the smile to others.

The weather sometimes defines my mood. Bright, hot sunny days make me lazy, bored and irritated while cloudy, breezy days make me happy, enthusiastic and chirpy!

Many more to come..will update them!! :)

Love ...and more!

Love - this 4 letter word has so much power that one cannot imagine unless they have experienced it! I am in love with love! Movies like Sleepless in Seattle, Serendipity, Shall we dance?, The wedding planner and books like A walk to remember, Pride and Prejudice, The notebook among many others just takes me to a whole other world. A world where there is only pure, unadulterated love. Every time I watch Sleepless in Seattle, I just want to go to the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day and wait for my destined 'the one'. When will he sweep me off my feet? (call me cheesy or lame, it doesn't matter!) This is one of my favorite quotes;"we come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly," which is very true. No one is perfect, when we are in love we just ignore all the bad qualities and focus on the good one's. That is true love in my opinion. I also believe in soul mates. I feel that there is someone out there for everyone who are made for each other and just complete each other. I genuinely believe that every single person out there meets their soul mates at least once in a lifetime and if lady luck strikes then they get to be together for a lifetime!

On a whole other note, I always ask myself, why do people have another emotion called hate? When loving is so simple, why do people even try so hard to hate someone? Yes, there are people who have done some bad things, but still why should we hate them? "Good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people", so we don't have to bother about hating someone just because they deserve to be hated. Hating takes so much effort and hard work when loving on the other hand is so simple. All you have to do is smile and talk politely with everyone. Instead of treating one person differently because you hate that person, it is just so much easier to treat everyone in a similar manner. Doesn't that seem simple enough? So next time you decide someone deserves to be hated, just focus on his/her good qualities and show some love and you will see the person transform magically. Love is definitely more powerful than hate. Experience speaking! ;)

Facebook Fever!

I had to write about Facebook for obvious reasons! Facebook - oh my! It is more addictive than drugs (not that I have tried drugs! )What is about these social networking sites that gets everybody glued to their laptops? Well, for one they are fun (duh?!!), and you get to be a totally different person! It is so addictive that I talk to my roommates who are sitting in front of me through Facebook(yeah! come on, you do it too! ) .What has happened to the good old face-to-face talk? Well its more faceBOOK - to - faceBOOK talk. Facebook and other networking sites help people find their old friends, meet new people, it even works like a online dating site (oh ya! I havn't tried that one yet, nor do I intend to!). I personally feel that it is a wonderful invention, because it allows me to keep in touch with old friends who are too far to meet or who live in a totally different part of the world. And the best part is I can choose to ignore people who get annoying without telling them. (Ah, I have not done that either, but that is a nice option!). I get to show off my pictures, update everybody on my list on what I am thinking/doing (I am a very important person, you see!), get to know the upcoming events and even stalk people (I am sure everybody has done that!) or even just learn about the other person (to be polite). But of course everything has a bad side to it. These sites make people anti-social. People will soon forget how to communicate when they meet a person. The style of speaking changes drastically. Using LOL even when you do not feel like smiling let alone laughing. When I was talking to a friend, I realized that my fingers were 'typing' in the air! Whenever I make a slick comment my mind automatically visualizes the ':P' smiley. I even ended up using 'u', 'r', 'tat', 'skool' and other similar messaging language on my exams. I did correct it though! Well the point of all this is that FACEBOOK rocks! Of course there are disadvantages, but who cares. Oh! btw [by the way ;)] I promote my blogs through these networking sites, so I am totally in favor of them! Ok, I need to update my status on FB now!

Ah! the flakiness of our beloved English language!!!!

I Just received this forward, and I thought I might share this with you all. This is the most hilarious poem I have ever read! You should read it to get a few laughs! It is always contested that English language is weird and downright meaningless and yet it is the most common and universally accepted language. There is something about this language which pulls attention towards itself . It may be insane , it may be wacky but it still is the most desired and most happening language in the world! So lets read this crazy poem about the equally crazy yet august language! :)

There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger;

neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.

Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads,

which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted.

But if we explore its paradoxes,

we find that quicksand is not quick but can work slowly,

boxing rings are not round but square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,

grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth,

why isn't the plural of booth, beeth?

One goose, 2 geese. So one moose,2 meese?

One index, 2 indices?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,

then what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be

committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?

Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,

while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy

of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down,

in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which,

an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people,

not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course,

is not a race at all.

That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible,

but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

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)

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!
