In India it is consider as a mark of respect to nod when some one is telling you something.It is to acknowledge the speaker.If one does not do anything it means one is not interested in listening to the other person.\nIn case the speaker is an elder or a very respected person there is only nodding and not even a yes, the listner simply gets to work after the conversation is over.

It is a courteous way of saying "hello" when you meet someone. Usually it is said to someone elder or close to you as a mark of respect when you meet them. More formally it is said with your hands folded and near your chin. You will find this custom in most parts of India.

Thumbs up is a common gesture represented by a closed fist held with the thumb extended upward or downward is a gesture of approval or disapproval respectively. These gestures have become metaphors in English: "My boss gave my proposal the thumbs-up" means that the boss approved the proposal, regardless of whether the gesture was made — indeed, the gesture itself is unlikely in a business setting.\n\nThe source of the gesture is obscure. Though a favorite of Hollywood 'swords and sandals' epics, where the "thumbs down" symbol means that the loser in a gladiatorial combat should be put to death, recent research suggests the meanings of the symbols have changed over the years. In 1997, Professor Anthony Philip Corbeill of the University of Kansas concluded that the thumbs up actually meant "Kill him," basing his assertion on a study of hundreds of ancient artworks. Thus, the "thumbs up" was an approval of the gladiator's request to kill his vanquished foe rather than a vote to allow the defeated to remain alive. Corbeill wrote that a closed fist with a wraparound thumb was the indication for a gladiator's life to be spared.\n\nMore recently, these gestures are associated with movie reviews, having been popularized by Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert in their televised reviews — the thumb up meaning a positive opinion of a film; the thumb down meaning a negative one. One or two thumbs up, often held over the head, may also be used by athletes in celebration of a victory.

Traditional etiquette requires the woman to offer her hand first in this scenario.  However, the times are changing.  I still like etiquette, and you asked.
