-B-A-N-$-A-L- has invited you
DiwaliAfter Dark
a.k.a. D.A.D
Lights. Frights. Till sunrise.
A Diwali Γ Halloween get-together β part festival of lights, part spooky night. No pressure, no dress-to-impress: just good people, games, music, jamming and making new friends. Kids and pets welcome.
Before you say yes
A hand-picked guest list
This isn't an open party. Every person on the first list was picked by hand β people who are warm, fun, and know how to have a good time without making it anyone else's problem.
You're welcome to forward this invite to friends you'd genuinely vouch for. If you send it on, you're responsible for how they show up β so pick the people you'd be proud to introduce.
A lot of the room won't know each other yet. That's the point. Fill in your profile properly so people have a reason to come say hi.

The guy who makes things happen for others

Into
Ask me about⦠nothing.
Two truths & a lie
- 1I've had an FIR on my name.
- 2I've hosted this party to impress a girl who's here tonight.
- 3I've been sober for the last 10 months.
Guess which one's the lie. Answers at DAD, not before.
- The song that gets me on the dance floor
- The one I'm playing.
- My most unpopular opinion
- I don't have opinions.
- If I were a ghost, I'd hauntβ¦
- I'm actually a ghost.
π Where to find me? Wherever the most fun is happening in the party.
The night
What to expect
Games & credits
Poker, teen patti, roulette and casino tables. Mafia, quizzes and secret tasks. UNO and Monopoly for the chill crowd. All on party credits, settled in the final hisab.
Jam & perform
Where talent meets the crowd. Sing, play, jam or do a set. Tell us in the form and we'll find you a slot.
Request songs
-B-A-N-$-A-L- and friends are on the decks. Requests go through the portal only: send yours from your phone, see the queue and upvote other people's picks. The most-loved songs rise to the top.
Meet new people

Kids & pets welcome
Bring the family β kids are free, and well-behaved pets are very welcome.

House rules
For everyoneοΌ
- β¦This list was curated by hand: the host knows who's taken, who's committed and who isn't interested. Treat this as a get-together to relax, not a dating party or a blind date. Please don't come with that motive.
- β¦You vouch for whoever you bring or forward this to. Their behaviour is on you.
- β¦Drink at your own pace. Being drunk is never an excuse β if you're asked to call it a night, please do, no arguments.
- β¦Your drink, your responsibility. Your plus-one? Also your responsibility.
- β¦Song requests go through the portal, not the DJ booth. Walk-up requests get a smile and nothing else.
- β¦No fights, no drama, no heated politics. If something's bothering you, find -B-A-N-$-A-L- quietly.
- β¦Be kind to the new faces β introduce yourself, pull people into games, include everyone.
- β¦Ask before posting anyone's photo or story publicly.
- β¦Green crackers only, and only in the marked area.
The colour codeοΌ
- β¦Everyone gets a coloured glass for the night, so nobody has to guess and nothing gets awkward.
- β¦π΄ Red: taken, committed or married.
- β¦π‘ Yellow: not interested, just here for the party.
- β¦π’ Green: open to meeting someone.
- β¦Respect the colour. And whatever the colour, no still means no.
For the menοΌ
- β¦Consent is everything. A no, a hesitation or a step back means stop β no second asks.
- β¦Keep your eyes where they belong and your balls where they should be.
- β¦Don't over-engage. A smile and a good chat: great. Hovering, following and 'one more drink?' on repeat: not great.
- β¦No unwanted touching, no 'just kidding' comments. Read the room and give people space.
- β¦Look out for anyone who's had too much β help them, don't take advantage.
For the womenοΌ
- β¦You should feel completely safe and at ease all night. If anyone makes you uncomfortable, tell -B-A-N-$-A-L- immediately β it'll be handled quietly and firmly.
- β¦Bring the fun vibe, not the tantrums.
- β¦Look out for each other, especially the people who came in alone.
Kids & petsοΌ
- β¦Kids are welcome and free β parents keep an eye on them, especially around diyas and crackers.
- β¦Pets are welcome! Keep them supervised, bring their food/water bowl, and clean up after them. Let us know if they're nervous around crowds or other animals.
- β¦Your pet, your poop-scoop. No exceptions, not even for the cute ones.
Zero toleranceοΌ
- β¦Harassment, aggression or illegal substances mean you (and the people you brought) will be asked to leave. No exceptions, no matter whose friend you are.
- β¦Break these and the night ends early β for you, not for us.
See you at DAD?
It takes about 5 minutes. Add a good photo and fill the fun bits properly β that's how people will find you.
