More importantly, it is also home to the Lodi Garden Restaurant, a delightful upmarket establishment that distinguishes itself by combining in one place all four rarities of the New Delhi dining scene: outdoor tables, palatable Continental food, a liquor license and (holy cow!) steak. At $25-$50 a head for a meal with wine, prices are monstrous by Indian standards. But there can be few better evenings in the city than one that starts with a stroll through the gardens, past lily ponds and cricket games, and finishes with chicken liver p?t?...

And the bomb site is now being cleared in advance of a traditional ritual prescribed to spiritually cleanse the island after a mortal enemy attack. Priests plan to slaughter a deer, a bull, a cow, a goat, a turtle, a pig, a white swan, a red swan and a black dog with a black tongue, and each household on the island will erect bamboo poles laden with fruits, flowers and palm fronds. Rituals may vanquish ghosts, but they aren't known to scare off terrorists...
