A year ago Emily and her friends in the US reminded us why they love all things British.
This is not to be callous in light of the horrors that happened today in London, but I thought our British friends could use as many gestures of support as possible.
Given the events of today in Mumbai, here is our little list of why we think India is a great country, compiled in a spirit of solidarity in these troubled times. Please feel free to add your own:
Butter chicken
A shared love of cricket
The train to Simla
Agra
Bollywood
Chapattis
Kullu
Saris
The Ambassador car
Tuk-tuks
Hill stations
Shukhriya
Update - lost comments
Typepad had an "outage" yesterday, and 4 or 5 comments with some excellent lists of all things praiseworthy about India have been lost. Please, Emily, Mr PG and others, can you resubmit your comments - oh my goodness, yes please.
Curries. Tandoori chicken. Tea. Almost any of their dishes, for that matter.
The world's most comfortable clothing.
Brahma, Vishnu, Krishna, Kali-ma (my favorite) and the rest...
My goodness, YES!
