Hunkari is the Japanese word for first cackle of a baby girl, considered auspicious in every Japanese household. From 12th century to the early 17th century, Samurai would make cackling noises before going for wars, in a ceremony called Hoku. Just kidding, Hunkari is Hindi for people doing hmm hmm. When my grandmother told me stories, she would go, &#34;Hunkari Paarr!&#34; which means hmm hmm karte raho! Enjoy.
