Red Bull, which retails for $1.99 a can, sponsors such varied sporting events as street luge and Formula One racing, but its core constituency is fast becoming clubgoers, not athletes. The sugary yellowish brew, first introduced in California in 1997 and now available in more than 20 states, has hit the club circuit at such hip spots as Sky Bar in Los Angeles and Twilo in New York City.

And there's a price: the interleukin-2 was injected twice daily for five days every eight weeks, during which...

Like a lentil softened in pot of steaming dal, one is forced to absorb the city's scalding brew, to let it seep under her skin and flavor her tender flesh. Mouths, nostrils become cultural portals, entry points through which the diesel fumes of a Tata bus, the bite of a roadside fried samosa and the burn of the scorching sun enter one's body and transform one's soul. Here, the ordinary becomes the extraordinary and the magnificent flows from the mundane...
