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.

Hey Ganesh,

Thanks for your encouragement. The easiest thing to do is feel that your blog represents who you are and keep writing something as a part of your daily discipline.

Note that everytime I sit down to write a blog, I reach a void state in mind, wondering what the heck to write and there is pretty much nothing more to say about anything than what is already written all over the web.

But then, you defeat that resistance and move on and start writing something. keep telling that you go to write something. you will do it. Dont worry about who will read it, readers will come automatically. Start writing for yourself thats more than enough.
