Indian Hand Gestures (Set of 4 Icons)

Further development:
(left to right)

1. The Knuckle Cracker - “Haye main mar jawaan” or “Nazar na lage”
This one is hard to explain - it is best conveyed when you see your mum do it!

2. The Little Finger - “Susu" 
When you really need to visit the bathroom - you don't even have to say a word, just stick your pinky out!

3. The Indian Whistle - “Oye hoye"
Whether it is to call a friend or eve-tease - this loud whistle is not subtle at all!

4. The Indian Very Good - “Waah!” or “Super”
When you don't have words to appreciate things. Just making a circle with your thumb and the index finger says it all!
 
Final:
Special Mention at the KultureShop Create Something Sketchbook Contest.
