[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in India and continue to have life long friend there...nope we always said "thank you." There are many cultural differences but this is one I never noticed. Maybe the author's family is more reserved or impolite than others?[/quote] Hmm...this is the opposite of what I've seen. People say thanks a lot more often now, but in stores, etc. I have never seen a family member thank another one. They just don't do it. It's not impolite. It's impolite to thank people who are doing things out of love. You are looking at things from an American perspective. I have only ever (rarely) heard the very formal thank you or nothing at all. My family gets annoyed with me all the time because I thank them for everything. They are very warm people. I think the Pakistani PP gets it right. My family is from southern India, and I'd agree with what she said. [/quote]
