...Nawabs of Awadh - princes renowned for their sybarite lifestyle - is now a down-at-the-heel city 500 km southwest of Delhi. But it retains one royal passion: food. India's finest lamb dishes derive from Awadhi cuisine, the ultimate expression of which is the delicate Kakori kebab, a cigar-shaped delight produced in a hamlet of that name half an hour's drive from Lucknow. Local legend says it was created for a toothless prince, and it's easy to see why. Made from finely ground mutton, infused with cloves, cinnamon and other spices, the Kakori is so soft...
...world of A Grand is a familiar one, populated by geezers: track-suited young men smoking skunk and watching telly, wandering from pub to kebab shop, filled with an anger as aimless as it is insistent. Yet Skinner's audience stretches far beyond those lads. American kids have taken him in like some exotic distant cousin, and one academic in Britain's Guardian even likened him to Dostoevsky and Pepys, while pondering that "the narrative is constructed round Christ's parable of the lost piece of silver." Skinner's reaction: "I don't read the Guardian." The gap between Skinner...
...captured by a cameraman who taped the scene, a small crowd of perhaps 15 young dayworkers who were hanging out in front of a kebab restaurant gathered around the shot-up SUVs. As the crowd grew, it began burning the cars, reducing the bodies inside to charred, unrecognizable shapes. A young man held a sign that read FALLUJAH, CEMETERY OF THE AMERICANS. After the flames died down, a couple of men pulled the burned bodies from the vehicles. A man stomped on a headless corpse while the crowd chanted, "God is great." The mob tied yellow ropes around the neck...
Many Afghans wonder whether Karzai is tough enough to rule a land long defined by tribal rivalries and blood feuds. "Karzai?" says a waiter at a kebab restaurant in Kabul. "He's too nice. He should be a schoolteacher." Educated in India, the President, 46, says he was influenced by Mohandas Gandhi, which may account for his conciliatory style. He seems more at ease asking questions than he does issuing orders. "No one is close to having Karzai's control and popularity," says Khalilzad. "He has moral authority, and he's not seen as ethnically prejudiced." But that's different...
...Turks first arrived as guest workers in the mid-'60s, they found cheap living space here. Artists, punks and squatters were attracted to the neighborhood for the same reason, but the Turkish community makes up about 30% of Kreuzberg's population, shaping SO36's atmosphere with its tea rooms, kebab shops and women in headscarves. Just north of the underground station is Oranienstrasse, SO36's main street, a lively mixture of ethnic restaurants, bookstores, jazz clubs, cafés and cocktail bars. To the east it leads into Wiener Strasse and the Madonna bar, the model for the joint Frank...
