More Brit than the British
Agatha Christie fans to celebrate her 126th birthday in Delhi
and where Wodehouse has a club!
Middle class India’s accent may be American, but reading habits remain very British !

Not only reading habits but I think lot other stuff still remains very british.
I grew up on this stuff. First ever autobiography read was borrowed from the British Library in Delhi – that of Agatha Christie.
I also constantly dreamt of scones and jam as a child reading books about boarding school in England, PGW and others – it was a dream quickly shattered by seeing and tasting how ordinary/ everyday they are once I got here!
