Dead weight loss of gifts

Creating a blog is one of the easiest thing one could ever do. The toughest part is to update and keep blogging on a continuous basis. I really wonder how some people are able to do it with such a consistency. Sudhar and Arun are good example of the this kind. It is just not laziness, I think it is more than that. Might be you need to have a way with words and the interest to update regularly. Hats off to Arun and Sudhar for constantly updating their blogs.

Today I was reading about the dead weight loss of gifts in rediff. It says that the dead loss of gifts during Christmas could be as high as 5 to 17 billion. The whole underlying concept is that people who receive get what they actually don't want. It further goes to say that it is an excellent indicator of inefficiency as it graphically portrays the difference between what people want and what they get. Might be a good enough reason to give cash as gift, hope I remember this next time when I think of a gift.
