People give you gifts.
They say its just Indians. But I have no first hand experience. So cant really say now.
Yeah. The kinds of gifts! Clocks. And glasses. And clocks. And crockery. And clocks again.
When you have a function at home, by the time you finish it off, you could as well start a crockery showroom. Or a clock shop.
What will one do with so many clocks? You have only so many rooms at home. And since you are already living in there, you have clocks where you really need them. So why clocks?
And the same reason, you wont need much crockery either.
So what we do is, re-gift it. And it rotates hands and rotate and once in a while ends up in the hands of the one who first gifted it.
But what! Indians will be Indians! And, he re-gifts it.
If you ask me, people should ask what the other wants before gifting them something. We imbibe other cultures. Then why not this practice? Or are we supposed to take in only those that are controversial?

people are not thinking others benefits now.
ok let me ask u...
what would you prefer? a slap or being stabbed at your back . :)
If I had my way, neither. :)
But since you ask, I want the slap. No stabs please. :)
So, what is it all about? :?
I dont want either. But since you asked, I choose the slap. You know, face to face. Like a man [Though we should actually change the 'man' part. Sexist and very untrue].
So, what is it all about? :?
