I used to respond with a smile and a non-committal "heh heh" (that's not Udhay's characteristic "heh" but a kind of throaty noise) but one old Kannadiga lady told me that the formal response should be "devara krupa"...."By God's grace"..that is, by God's grace, I have had enough to eat today, or something to that effect. Or, if it is an elder asking this question, "nim aasheervaadaa" .."your blessing". Deepa.
