Cultural Note

In English-speaking countries, people often express apology or thanks briefly but sincerely — with eye contact and a soft tone.

In India, we express with emotion and warmth, adding words like “Please” or “So much” to show depth of feeling.

That’s what makes our communication special — we speak with heart.
