🌎 Culture Corner
In India, people often ask "What do you do?" early in a conversation. It's usually a friendly way to get to know someone—not an intrusive question. A simple answer about your profession or studies is perfectly natural.

मैं शिक्षक हूँ। (I am a teacher.)
मैं डॉक्टर हूँ। (I am a doctor.)
मैं इंजीनियर हूँ। (I am an engineer.)
Clarity is more important than complexity.
