HAAN JI!

• This greeting over the phone is your first glimpse into the unmistakable nawrth indian household.
The haan ji carries with it a certain respect that is ascribed to the caller…
To an insider, it gives that sense of belonging, exuding warmth ..
making you feel at ease .. At home
However to an outsider…it evokes somewhat mixed feelings.
The overtly friendly tone is totally unexpected .
And although it evokes a certain warmth, the pre-conceived notions/biases of
the delhiwallahs leave you with mixed feelings.
And the repetitive occurrence of it makes its credibility questionable..
