May sound 'banal' to some, but in reality these small tips are really bound to help those who are blissfully unaware of a need to know. How many times we see people filling up their plates to the brim, as if there is no second helping, nor a tomorrow to eat? How many times people get tipsy over a couple of drinks and begin to shake and dance, with a glass perched on their head? How many times we have seen guys stopping passing waiters and scooping out handfuls of cashew or whatever, as if the guy wouldn't make another appearance? How many times you have heard loud guffaws, or drunken brawls, wild arguments? Do we think of carrying small gifts to the host or hostess? Don't we plonk ourselves and sprawl into any convenient seat, before we are even asked to sit? Don't we arrive late or leave early once our 'fill' is done? Do we know how to respond to a 'toast'? Or the art of making relevant conversation as we go round? These 'learnings' may sound silly, but they are important. Frankly, many don't know, and those who know don't care. With us 'doing' global contacts, we better learn, more... and more..of such manners and etiquettes!
