Learning how to conduct oneself at social dos is very important these days. People are using social networking more and more as a tool to move forward in life. Don't let your lack of etiquette keep you from doing so too...
Madhu once accompanied her husband to a formal dinner party organized by his colleagues. And he’s never asked her again!
The simple reason is that Madhu’s complete lack of etiquette embarrassed her husband and he did not wish to repeat the performance (or non-performance) of that evening. Sure, it would have been better if he had openly discussed the matter and taught her what she needed to learn. But Ramesh did not wish to offend his dear wife or embarrass her. So he just kept mum and attended all formal parties on his own.
