diwana: I haven't seen that here with ABCD's and CBCD's but i imagine the few who do refrain from hugging is probably because they don't want to be come across as homosexuals when seen by locals.
This homophobia has no boundaries. It should stay in limit I guess.
It is so funny that the same culture, which expects all others to accept real homosexual acts frowns over two same sex individuals simply hugging each others. LOL
Fg: You take charge and dictate to those one and two huggers that its supposed to be three hugs. After the first hug if they seem like they are pulling back, pull them back towards youself and proceed giving the remaining two hugs saying: Eid kay din haiy yaar teen baar galay lagtay hain.
Yes. Absolutely.....!!!!
