| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Shakti: If someone knocks at the door, the most common expression we use in India is Kon, which means “who?” If you are the one knocking, just answer with your name, unless they are familiar with your voice already, then just say Main Hoon meaning “It's me.” |
