These held the close attention of a Cornishminer who, after forty years of fortune-seek-ing in Australia, was coming home to Camel-ford for a visit.

CIOL CEO Ann Carlisle named CHARITY CHAMPION of the Week

He drove up with us in therattling wagonette, gazing on ragged hedgeand prickly furze as a thirsty soul might gazeon Paradise. The fulness of his heart over-flowed in little laughters, though the tearswere glistening on his lashes, and in brokenwords of memory and joy. He kept pointingout to us, mere strangers that we were, notnoting and not caring what we were, the3tiles and streams and rocks associated with As we went clattering down into the littlestone huddle of houses, we had to turn awayfrom the rapture in his eyes.

Brothers andsisters were waiting to greet him, with tallchildren of theirs that had been to him butnames, yet the human welcome could hardlypenetrate through his dream, through hisecstatic communion with the scene itself. As we were driving out of Camelford earlythe next morning, we caught sight of ourgrizzled Cornishman once again, standingin one of those humble doorways with theshining still upon his face.

A man like that would make anybodyhomesick and, to speak impartially, wethought that Camelford was far less worthyof such emotion than two villages we sever-ally remembered over sea. And if you prefer movies to books, the UK is the place too. Some of the most successful Bollywood films were shot in the UK: come and see where.

The London Olympic Games showed that we can organise complicated events with efficiency, flair and enthusiasm. Football is increasingly popular in India, and the Premier League is one of the most closely followed sporting tournaments in the world. So come and experience the unique atmosphere of a match at Wembley Stadium in London. The Wimbledon lawn tennis tournament, watched the world over, is synonymous with the British summer and attracts both tennis fans and anyone looking for a taste of the social season. Come and join us for Pimms and strawberries. We in Britain also play a game which we invented but which India has become rather good at, called cricket.

Indians are also getting dangerously good at golf. Next year the Ryder Cup will take place at Gleneagles, drawing fans to the home of golf in Scotland. Britain has some magnificent golf courses, with in Scotland alone. Finally, any Indian keen to find out what makes the British so eccentric should seek out one of our many quirky sporting events. One of the great things about India is that everywhere is different from everywhere else. If you are a regular at the Jaipur literary festival, visit its cousin at Hay on Wye.

If you are a romantic, steal away to the Scottish border town of Gretna Green, famous for runaway weddings. And if you like mysteries, come to Loch Ness up in Scotland to try and spot its most famous inhabitant. No one visiting Khan Market here in Delhi, or indeed any part of any Indian city at almost any time, would doubt that Indians like shopping.

And if you want to do it in style, the UK is the place. Indians are known for their discerning palates. So some of you may be surprised that I include this in my Top Ten list. It is true that we British do have food with odd names: spotted dick, toad in the hole, bangers and mash. They all taste better than they sound.

It is true that we also have some odd tastes: Exhibit one - Marmite. But British food is great. Our chefs are world class: we have Michelin starred restaurants. Our organic produce is the envy of the world. We have the widest and best range of South Asian food outside South Asia.

Camellia Punjabi, who introduced regional Indian cuisine to the UK, said recently that the best Indian food in the world is now served in London. Did I mention the drinks? Come to the Scottish Highlands and taste the real thing at its place of birth. Beer — and our pubs — are part of the British experience. Come and join us at the bar. One of the great things about India is that Brits feel welcome here. And Indians can be sure of an equally warm welcome in the UK. The London Olympics showed the world that the British love foreign guests and treat them right.

And the presence of some 1. Family is at the heart of Indian culture.

And visiting the UK with a family is easy. Children are welcome everywhere. Trying a different Web browser might help. Or, clearing the history of your visits to the site.
