Happy Cake Day 

Subba Rao 

“Happy cake day,” said the girl operating the elevator at the 

newly opened mall in town. 

“Happy cake day?” Juggernaut was perplexed since he never heard 

that greeting before. 

“Yes sir; today is happy cake day.” 

“OK, happy cake day to you.” 

“Thank you.” 

“How you celebrate happy cake day?” 

“Well, we share sweet cakes with friends, relatives and fellow- 

workers today.” 

“Today is December 25th.” 

“Yes, on every December 25th, we celebrate happy cake day.” 

“Today is also Christmas day,” 

“Umm, yes, yes; today is Christmas day,” the girl behaved as if 

she just remembered the significance of December 25th besides happy 

cake day. 

“Do you celebrate Christmas?” Juggernaut was curious. 

“Not really, we Hindus do not celebrate Christmas but we share 

cakes on December 25th.” 

“OK, what kind of cake you like?” 

“I like sweet dark plum cake, but I eat any kind of cake 

particularly the icing on the cake,” the girl was really into cakes. 

“Well, have a nice happy cake day,” juggernaut was about to 

leave the elevator having reached the 4th floor to the food-court. 

“Sir, you didn't tell me what kind of cake you like?” insisted 

the girl. 

“Umm, I like chocolate cake but without icing.” 

“Without icing? that's the best part, any way try HMS bakery in 

the food court, it is the best place for cakes you know,” the girl was 

friendly. 

“OK, have a happy cake day,” Juggernaut moved out of the 

elevator looking for HMS bakery to buy a large slice of chocolate cake 

to celebrate Happy Cake Day for the very first time in his home town in 

India.
