Conclusion

It’s polite to say “thank you” or “shukriyaa” to the shopkeeper or taxi driver. But using a lot of unnecessary niceties around your Indian friends is a surefire way to make them feel like formal business contacts. You’re friends! So don’t say “please” or “thank you.” If you want to show your friend how much you care, buy them a round of drinks. Tell them how much you value them. Be there for them when they need you, and stop by their store immediately. This is enough to show your friend how much you appreciate him or her without putting too much cold distance between you. Don’t worry; you’re family!
