Head Wobble "Yes! Yes!" and "No! No!" The Indian head wobble (or bobble) is the source of much confusion and wonderment amongst foreigners, especially the first time one is confronted with it. It looks like a cross between a nod and shake, but does it mean yes? Or does it mean no? Or even maybe? Similar to how the various regions in India have different customs and languages, the way in which heads are wobbled also varies. You'll find that the further South you go in India, the more prevalent the head wobble becomes. What is your comment on this unique Gesticulation?
