Do one thing

Do one thing

Indian English: introduces a suggestion or plan.

Do one thing, call me after lunch.

Here's an idea / why don't you

Works everywhere: a friendly way to suggest something.

Why don't you call me after lunch?

Remember: Clear to Indian listeners; international listeners may wait for 'one thing'. Say 'Here's what we can do…' so everyone follows.
