The Robert Krulwich does your illustrations? Very cool.
I usually skim the code to get an idea of patterns and organization, get it working in a local environment and then run/step-through the code. This usually gives a good idea of what different pieces do.
India is a more hierarchical society in general, and one doesn't feel the need to thank the servile class for services rendered. Outside family and close circle of friends, a "thank you" can lubricate social interactions.
