That Gurgaon is the NCR nightlife hub, corporate hub, startup hub and culinary hub, isn’t news anymore! The surge of multinationals in the city is flabbergasting, to say the least. But deep down is the yearn for slowing down, for ease, for stagnancy…. for recreation! The one diversion that has recently hit the city culture (read all of the hubs I mentioned above), taking the company culture by hand to a changing scenario, are the Drinking games, as they are often called!
