Someone at work has taken to wishing people by a pronouncedly exaggerated gesticulation and then loudly proclaiming "Ghani khamma".
Quora helped me understand this.
Marwaris wish others as "Khamma Ghani sa" (means colloquially lots of good wishes and blessings). Response is supposed to "Ghani Ghani Khamma Sa".
Of course there is also Ghani Kumbha sa - which refers to Rana Kumbha and bestows tons of "sons" on the person you wish to...and each son as brave as "Rana Kumbha".
Me is massively amused and tickled. Funny hain. I am going to make this my default wishing on my lighter days :-)
On a related note - Take a bow lady for the lightness you bring to work :-)
