The idea of what shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries.
Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first came to India.When talking to an
Indian,he would often shake his head.The visitors might think that the Indian did not like
what they said.But,in fact,they would be completely wrong.
Indians always shake their heads when they talk to each other.It does not have the
same meaning as "No".If someone wants to visit India,he should know this,or it will give
him some trouble.
One day.a foreign officer went to India on business.He hired a car and an Indian to
drive it.When he told his driver to send him to his office,the Indian shook his head at
once.The officer said again,and the driver shook his head again.At last,the officer,of
course,got angry.
“How dare you refuse my order??”he shouted.“Drive me to my office at once!”
The driver answered in a very loud voice,too."Yes,sir!"But to the officer's surprise.
the driver shook his head at the same time.
The car started,and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word.He
thought about it for a while,and then he nodded with a smile,“‘No'means‘Ycs'here!”
