Parties have to be fun, wild and crazy enough to be remembered for a long time to come.

However, when it comes to house-parties, things are very different compared to a party in a club or a disco. A house party is a more private affair with a limited set of people whom you really want to spend time with. Therefore, it becomes absolutely necessary that you act as a great host and ensure that your house party becomes talk of the town!

Let me give you some basic tips to make you rock as a house party host:

1) Guest List

This is the first thing to consider when hosting a party. Be very careful while inviting people to your house as you want a party, not a ruckus! Also, make a proper balance of people for it to be entertaining for everyone. Inviting only heavy drinkers or majorly sobers, majority of extroverts or introverts can make or break your party. A perfect mix of your friends will ensure that everyone has fun without making the party a dull affair or a nightmare!

2) Party Time

Some people are always punctual even for a party and some are always going to be late! In case you don’t want guests walking in your door when you’ve not even taken a shower for the party or watching guests still walking in when you’re getting ready for the work day the next morning, plan your party start time carefully. For those who work according to the clock, tell them the party starts at 10 pm if you plan to start at 8pm. And for those late comers, invite them at 8 pm! You got the idea, right?

3) Food And Drinks

This is one of the most important aspects for a house party. Make sure there is enough food for everyone and a good variety as well. Don’t forget the vegetarians and don’t order basic stuff for vegans while having a lavish extravaganza for non-vegetarians! Have a balance! As far as drinks are concerned, have a good mix of soft and hard drinks. Be careful though, about guests getting drunk and creating nuisance. Avoid inviting such guests who have a history of being not able to control their drinking so that the party remains an enjoyable affair for your other guests!

4) Good Music

Don’t make it too loud and jazzy the way it is in pubs so as not to disturb neighbours. However, music should have enough variety to cater to different tastes at different times of the party. Starting with peppy numbers to bring life to party, it should turn down to slow soothing kinds when party is about to end.

5) Introduce People

Not all your guests are going to know each other. Hence, introduce people to each other and then leave them to interact further and have a good time. Don’t let any introvert or shy friend of yours sitting all alone in a room full of people while you babysit him!

6) How To End

You can’t ask people to go once party is over, but drop subtle hints that it is time to go now without being in their face. Some of the things that you can do are start clearing the trash, switching on regular lights for a home kind of ambience, reducing the volume of music and things like that. Most of the guest will get their hints!

7) Don’t Drink

You’re the host! You have to stay sober to take care of your guests, entertain them and take care of them, therefore don’t get sloshed and forget that it is you who invited them and not the other way round! Even if you have to drink, stay much within limits and be a social drinker for that one night, which you want everyone to remember for your hosting skills!

Go ahead and have an amazing time with friends. Work hard and party harder!

No, I am not going to start a preachy lecture about how the youth of the country should lead their lives! Ours is a free country and everyone is free to lead their lives the way they want without hurting anyone. As simple as that!

But what we need to ask ourselves is, are we living the way we are supposed to? Every day we claim our rights on freedom of speech, freedom to live, freedom for this, freedom for that etc. How many of us actually value that freedom though? If you look around, more and more youngsters, the so-called future of our country, are found to be enjoying dope, sex and booze, more than sharing their responsibilities towards their own lives! Let’s not talk about responsibility towards family, friends, society or nation! It is all about their life, their decisions, and their way of conducting themselves with no concern about how their actions are impacting others!

Some people might argue that the nation is in the dumps, there are no jobs, and youth is sitting idle even after education so their actions are justified. I am sorry, but I tend to disagree with such lame excuses. Those who deserve are getting jobs. Those who have worked on their skill sets are landing up working for the best organisations. Those who are bringing discipline in their life are achieving their dreams, no matter how fast or slow the process is!

It is a sad state to watch youngsters idling their time away criticising the society and the system instead of doing something substantial about it. Change doesn’t happen overnight and only by posting your views on social media, don’t expect change to happen.

It starts with oneself!

Bring a change in your thought process, be responsible for your actions and try to do something that is within your reach to make a change. No one is expecting a single man or a woman to act like a superhero and rid our country of all the ailments. Instead, take small steps, the steps that bring change, albeit in a slow manner, but those that are long-lasting changes.

It is the state of the society that party songs celebrating alcohol consumption, drugs and sex are ruling the charts! No, the movies are not feeding the society, it’s vice versa! The demand is generating supply and we are happily grabbing what’s being offered to us. It is cool these days to have competitions about how much can one drink in one night or how many sex-sessions can one have at one go. Does that help improve life? Does that bring a positive change in your life? Sadly, the answer is a big NO!

Let’s try and enjoy life, but only after we have discharged our duties towards life with utmost sincerity.

It is only one life guys; don’t waste it on temporary sources of entertainment.

Enjoy them, but enjoy your life too and life is not just dope, sex and booze!

It is much more than that; just scratch the surface and find out how it can be more fun without falling into the trappings of short-lived fun!
