...near New Delhi. Last year Kapoor took a mortgage to buy a two-bedroom apartment, and this year he purchased a car, a Hyundai Santro, for about $7,000. Four times a month, Kapoor visits New Delhi's top restaurants, among them Italian bistro Flavors or Indian-food specialist Bukhara, dropping as much as $40 a meal. In the process, he ran up about $4,200 in credit-card debt, spread over three cards. Since getting married six months ago, he has been persuaded by his wife to scale back and pay the debt down, but he was never...

Flattened by Genghis Khan in 1220 and resurrected as Tamerlane's capital and the jewel of the Silk Road, its turquoise tile domes and minarets possess a mythical status sur-passed only perhaps by Shangri-la. Together with its Uzbek sister Bukhara, it was a key stop for the caravans that plied the network of routes stretching from the markets of Istanbul to the silk weavers of China. Traders, diplomats, pilgrims and missionaries thronged the cities' bazaars as East met West in a blossoming of commerce and learning. But with the discovery...
...days away by camel, or six hours by bus, is Bukhara, a more relaxed and intimate experience.
