Whenever we meet our dear ones we greet them either with hugs, handshakes, smiles and laughter. I usually greet my dear ones with a smile and hug. If the dear ones are my elders I usally greet them with a smile and Namaste (meaning hello). What about you? How do you greet them?

I agree with @saiama. Like our traditional culture, we meet each other.

Mostly with a hug and a smile. Closer friends might get a peck on the cheek as well.

Yes. This is the traditional wish. Goes according to the age of the other person You are right. Many people in India are not following it. Probably due to the generation gap. They are not been trained properly by their parents. This is really one of the sorry states of affairs.

A Smile and Handshake For Official greetings and if Elders from Family or near and dear ones Touch their feet and say namaste and if near and dear one are younger then smile and a hug works for me
