100th post and a Fun Giveaway.

So, when I first floated the idea of having a giveaway post as my 100th post on Facebook, I got a large number of responses to my post, and half of the people who wrote their opinions told me that I should have a giveaway of cakes baked by me. Much as I would have loved to oblige, cakes do not travel well, and I decided on giving away something that does. Other suggestions included cooking ingredients, cookbooks, makeup, beauty products, and god knows what else.

I scratched my head to think of the stuff I can actually include in the giveaway, and then finally came to a decision, which was not easy, but a good one. Besides cooking, my other passion is reading books, or doing something which would be related to cooking. However, who am I to decide what you want, reader? 
That is why I am going to make this giveaway a lot more interesting by giving away not any particular thing, but something else altogether. I have loved online shopping time and again, and thus, I will make this into a giveaway that will be  I will be giving away a Flipkart Voucher. 
And yes, I am going to pay this out of my own pocket. This is NOT a sponsored giveaway, just something I want to do to celebrate my blog growing up. I have always liked Flipkart, and have never had an issue with them, and my last stolen phone was from them, and it never gave me any trouble in all the time it stayed with me. So, to celebrate the fact that my blog recently got about 25000+ pageviews, has over 60 GFC followers already, and over 100 fans, and the fact that THIS IS THE 100th POST I am giving away a voucher worth INR 1000 from Flipkart. 
It is a modest amount ofmoney, but I am absolutely sure you guys can find something nice within the price and use it. There are a few rules that you must follow, however. Please read them below. And have a good day! Also, the competition will run from the time of its publication to the 28th December, 2012 12 p.m. IST, and I will announce the winner on 1st January, 2013 (and if by chance I cannot, I will publish it as soon as I can from then). The competition is India-Only (since Flipkart does not deliver outside), so that is a bummer for my international audience. However, as this is my first giveaway, I am just feeling the vibe of the matter, and later, I might do an international giveaway if all goes well here.

Okay, this is a request. If the winner takes a photo and shows me later what he/she has bought with the voucher I gave her, it will be really nice.
