The bobble

I'm completely enamoured with the Indian head bobble. I had a short, yet intense man-crush on our bus toll-taker guy from Chennai to Covelong Beach, completely based on his head movement. At first it really threw me off as he was answered my question with an affirmative, while giving negative head movements. Soon enough, I learned his head language and we were communicating effortlessly. The closest comparison I can draw is with Italians speaking with their hands...he couldn't open his mouth without moving his head. Love it.
