You Know You are a Reader When....

My friend Kirti and I were walking past a second hand/ pirated book vendor today when we both slowed down as if on auto-mode and lost track of our conversation. My statement to her about this after that gave me the idea for this one...

So you know you are a reader when:

1. You'd rather buy the book than the new pair of shoes/ clothes

2. You make plans to hang out at bookshops with friends

3. Non-book lover friends have to pry you out of the said bookshop to continue with the rest of those plans

4. You always have a pile of books in your bookshelf still to be read

5. You always have a list of books to read!

6. You always have a book in your bag (and hence always need a big bag and wallets just won't do!)

7. The order of priority of your basic needs is:good  book,  mediocre book, any book!........food, sleep,  sex etc......

8. Your facebook wall pictures look like this

9. You want your world to be a little bit like that of your favourite book.

10. You relate to lists like this one!

First and foremost..kudos to our wonderful chef




She was moving around so efficiently and gracefully in the kitchen while baking...was totally in her element!

Ah... the cake baking.....there is nothing in the world that compares to the smell of something being baked... yep I am an over the top totally insane foodie...



The just-out-of-the-oven base



 And the final touches that will be added



The whipped cream first....I could already hear my tastebuds going Hallelujah!


  And then the kiwis....


And some more kiwis....


And the final mouth-watereringly superoawesomeosomely tempting....






Happy birthday to me (finally!)


The devoured cake in all its tasty grace


Thank you Star once again for my long-awaited birthday cake...was totally worth the wait! I hope I don't have to wait for the next one sooooo long! It's criminal!
