Re: Give me some space!
sometimes people avoid going to lift if a lady comes (specially, when there is no one other than the lady and you). This happens in our flats lift..... Last week, an aunty said 'ajaen aap ko to main janti hoon, aap to apne bachon jaise ho'.
This is normal among asians I think. I don't enter too if there is a male and no female in the lift.

We still feel odd when a Pakistani actress hug a male actor / director during award ceremonies. A decade or so, it was considered odd in Indian film industry and not too many actress dare to do that.. but now its all common there.
That's just to show they are enlightened and liberal. :D
Re: Give me some space!
It is more common on first formal meeting with same sex to shake hands. But again, not always. One can wave hand and say hi, how do you do.
If this is a meeting with too many people then no real need to shake hands with all of the people in room.
Sounds good :D

And this ghussa may turn in to kick on the shin. So one should play safe. :D

It was also taught to us that while meeting seniors don't move your hand for shaking hands until they move their hand first.

Well that is to show them that they are in control/dominant in the situation and you are submissive. Feeds their egos.

Muqa: It means personal space most of the timeā¦
Re: Give me some space!
I once entered in a room and saw about 20 plus people. Some standing and some sitting. I said to myself, wow! that's too many people waiting to meet me.
I shook hand with two or three people in front row. People from the back started to come and shake hands with me, I did with few more and then smiled at all others and waved saying hi, this is is getting a little embarrassing. They all laughed and people stopped right where they were.

She does not like him. He didnāt buy her flowers on her birthday. 
Re: Give me some space!
Not a particular video, just a common situation in most of the dramas. There is this Ekta Kapoor space thing getting popularity in Pakistani dramas, where husband-wife share a room and live like friends

The notion of personal space was introduced in 1966 by anthropologist Edward T. Hall, who created the concept of proxemics. In his book, The Hidden Dimension, he describes the subjective dimensions that surround each person and the physical distances they try to keep from other people, according to subtle cultural rules. A person's personal space (and the corresponding physical comfort zone) is highly variable and difficult to measure. Estimates for an average Westerner, for example, place it at about 60 centimeters (24*in) on either side, 70 centimeters (28*in) in front and 40 centimeters (16*in) behind.
Personal space is highly variable, and can be due to cultural differences and personal experiences. For example, those living in a densely populated places tend to have a lower expectation of personal space. Residents of India or Japan tend to have a smaller personal space than those in the Mongolian steppe, both in regard to home and individual spaces. Difficulties can be created by failures of intercultural communication due to different expectations of personal space.For a more detailed example, see Body contact and personal space in the United States.
In European culture, personal space has changed historically since Roman times, together with the boundaries of public and private space. This topic has been explored in A History of Private Life (2001), under the general editorship of Philippe AriĆØs and Georges Duby.
Personal space is also affected by a person's position in society with more affluent individuals expecting a larger personal space.
People make exceptions to, and modify their space requirements. A number of relationships may allow for personal space to be modified and these include familial ties, romantic partners, friendships and close acquaintances where a greater degree of trust and knowledge of a person allows personal space to be modified. In addition, under certain circumstances, when normal space requirements simply cannot be met, such as in public transit or elevators, personal space requirements are modified accordingly.

Phew! I can imagine. I couldnāt do that.
Re: Give me some space!
hah, funny how my last visit to Argentina made things so awkward for me. We were in line for an amusement park and the people behind my brother and me, were literally almost ready to climb our backs. I mean hey, is standing a foot closer to the person ahead of you going to get the line moving any faster? Didn't think so.
It all depends on culture. Don't know what else to add here, everything seems to have already been covered by everyone who posted before me.
