if you want a real punjabi jawab it would be "chardi kalaa" ie "in ascending spirits" or "in high spirits".
.
.
.

Alternatively it could also be "first class".
Ques: "hor bai ji kiddan?"
Ans: "first class."

Dont be fooled into thinking that its an english phrase beacuse it is 'bloody naught', the damn britishers took it from us. Maharaja Ranjit Singh used it often in his court

(tell me it was not funny, he he)

cheers.
