I can't go to an office "party" because it's too late at night

I hope I'm not making a mistake? Networking itni zaroori toh nhi?

I hate partying anyhoo. I'm a teetotaler and I'm underage(?)

Unpopular opinion

I guess I am against most of people who live in Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai or any tier 1 2 cities. Why is there so much addiction to smoke, party culture and losing our own moral values? I guess a pack of cigar cause anywhere between 100...
