Deepika Gulati

Just a regular 17 year old with her fair bit of extravagant dreams and nuances. Aspiring poet, Charged guilty of being a big time foodie and may or may not believe in romantic stories coming true in real life. I often catch myself daydreaming or just talking to myself as a second person. Basically, I enjoy my own company. I'm proud of being a bookworm, though this word in itself creeps me out sometimes. I prefer being called a Book lover or the more suitable "Even an apocalypse cannot tear me apart from a book if I get attached to it" reader. Speaking of attachments, I'm emotionally dependable on my daily dose of hugs and get cranky if I don't get them on time.

I'm a really spontaneous person and can do some of the most random stuff you can ever imagine. On birthdays, the nose is reserved for me to rub the cake on and add the cherry on the top. I don't know why I mentioned that. I'm real good at making people laugh at a moment's notice and at the same time I'm the person who is always ready to start an intellectual conversation, and this other side of me is what can often be seen in my writings (I hope)

I can talk to strangers and I can talk to people close to me but anyone who comes in the middle often sees this really awkward side of mine. I take about 6-7 years on an average to completely open myself up to people. And thankfully I have quite a few of them in that category. But apart from that there are just 2 people whom I've bared my soul open to and 1 with whom I shared a really dark phase of my life. And despite this, I trust people easily. Am I a paradox yet?

I got the idea for the first book I ever want to publish, in the eighth grade but still haven't started the writing bit. I also want to open up a book cafe. And travel the world all alone - as cliched as it sounds - even though I have got no idea how I would manage without my family. I said something about extravagant dreams, didn't I?

'How to get away with murder', 'Castle', '2 broke girls', 'Melissa and Joey', 'Monk' and 'Modern Family' may be some of the best shows to be ever made. And maybe I'll stop verging on the edge of too much information and let my work speak for itself. Happy Reading :)
