Indian head wobble

Every culture and race comes with a certain stereotype. These stereotypes can be used to identify who we are. We can have a laugh about it, and similar to our other post about Russians and their vodka we have decided to focus on an amazing phenomenon known as the Indian head wobble.

The head wobble is like a body language that Indians use to communicate. You can say several things with just a simple head wobble, for example, a fast and continuous head wobble means that the person really understands. The more vigorous the wobbling, the more understanding there is. A quick wobble from side to side means "yes" or "alright". A slow soft wobble, sometimes accompanied by a smile, is a sign of friendship.

There are also a lot of other dialects in India, but fortunately for them, with a simple gesture of the head wobble people instantly understand what this act means; actions do speak louder then words after all.
