Because you are as innocent as a baby and thus have no sense of shame.

Because you are an unabashed freebooter.

Because it helps you keep your wits about and think on your feet as you go about hoodwinking one host after another.

Because can’t afford to miss the Miss Fresher bash at the girls college, where you’re not invited

Because you’d rather gatecrash than pay cash.

Because gatecrashing always opens new doors for you.

Because the world at large has not yet realised your brilliance and thus left you out of the party. You want to let them know what they are missing.

Because the success of a party is measured by the number of gatecrashers. Your presence makes the host feel that his invitees were the most sought after in town.

Because you don’t want your status to come in the way of your mixing with the "with-it crowd."

Because you are a true socialist who hates elitism and can’t tolerate a do wherein the sons of the soil are left out. You gatecrash in protest.

Because if you decide to go somewhere nothing can stop you, niceties be damned!

Because that’s the only way you may get to see Sonali Bendre.

Because how else can you sample those unaffordable Thai delicacies at a five-star hotel’s food festival? You need to eat them more than any of those old hens.

Because you are young and adventurous. It is so boring to go only when you are invited.
