A Cultural Lesson in Bangalore

This evening my wife and I went to buy some vegetables. After the purchase, when I handed the money as in the first photo, he asked me not to give that way. Because that will bring loss to him and to me.
Wrong way to give money.
 Then he showed me this gesture. His gesture confused me - I had no idea what he meant. For a minute I thought his hand was dirty!
Gesture for right way.
 Finally I learned what he meant. I handed the note correctly.
Right way.
Fun... life is like that. Learning new social ways each day.
