If you are planning to stay exclusively in AC rooms in the more expensive guesthouses/hotels, a net is probably not necessary.

I never had one until I lived here.

Well, I find mosquito nets are more for the mosquitos than us humans, because the net traps fresh blood for the mozzies! Once they're in, they can do as they please. I use the plug in mosquito repellents when I'm in India, they don't create must smoke, and you can get a peaceful nights sleep with them switched on.
