GAYATHRI Ramakrishnan, a banking professional, shares an experience, "A colleague got so drunk at an office party that he pushed his boss into the swimming pool! The next day he felt terrible as people smirked."

No doubt the prospect of a party is exciting! And it's time to let your hair down. But remember: you are being WATCHED.

Office parties are mainly intended as social events to reward employees and raise their morale. So, it's basically a business event. And also, a good opportunity to behave well and make some good career moves.
