Shubra Ramakrishna

From a cultural perspective, “How’s it going?” has become part of everyday casual English. In some other languages, greetings are literal (e.g., asking about your family, health, or work). But in English, especially in Western countries, this one is more like a ritual. Personally, I like to answer with something playful like “Same circus, different clowns” or “Living the dream.” It lightens the mood and often sparks a laugh.
