You are not supposed to say no in India. Its impolite. You are supposed to say yes and later not do the job and give excuses. I'm no sure why people have a hard time believeing this - but this is what we Indians are supposed to do. All this business of saying "No" in someone's face is a characteristic that is foreign to Indians. You invite me to your wedding in california (I live in India) and I will not express regret and give you my best wishes. I will say "Surely. I will try and be there" shiv
