I learned a new hand gesture

I went to see some apartment buildings yesterday. From distance it looked that they apartments building were fully completed but I we got closer I realized that it was still being constructed. But I went there anyway.
 
We passed the gate and security guards and then looked for the leasing office. The signs pointed at one of the building. But when I went to that building I could not find it. So I just kept going up the stairs to the top of the building to take some pictures of the neighborhood. On the 9th or 10th floor I saw a construction worker in the stair way. (See his picture) He tried to talk to me in Hindi but I could not understand what he was saying. He was probably saying that there are no offices on the top or that I should not go to the top. And he kept doing this hand gesture that I did not know about. He had his right arm held up vertically and would twist his wrist on the Y axis. (Just like the hand gesture for saying so-so but done vertically).
 
Later on I asked a friend, Karan, and learned that the hand gesture means NO.
