Subtext is Everything
One place I wished I’d visited more often is India. The energy, the colours, the food, the sheer love of life is everywhere. I also got the warmest welcome there of any nation on Earth. A wealthy woman threw a dinner party in my honour and, when I arrived, she said, “Welcome home” because she wanted me to feel comfortable in her house. It’s a vast land where hundreds of languages are spoken, but there’s great charm to Indian English expressions. Here are some.
