Black has two other, paradoxical sources of appeal in the current zeitgeist, one a celebration of convention and wealth, the other a manifesto of street-toughness and bohemian penury. In the age of Reagan, la-di-da formality has made big black limousines and black-tie soirees modish once again. Thus for the well-to-do, basic black is a means of ostentatious discretion. On the other hand, the angry black of the new wave--dark glasses, sour black T shirts and scruffy black jeans--is more the anarchist's traditional black. It is neo-beatnik, the color correlate...

...even if a passage to India isn't for the fainthearted, the country is fast becoming a hot spot for the jet set. A growing global awareness of Indian culture--thanks to offerings like Bend It Like Beckham, the writings of Jhumpa Lahiri and modish curry cuisine (not to mention Indian software and telephone expertise)--has raised the subcontinent's profile and put it firmly on the traveler's map. The number of foreign visitors to India last year rose 16.5%, to 2.75 million, and the World Travel & Tourism Council predicts India's tourism industry will grow by 7.9% over...

...look is pure Flintstones: walls of boulders, solid-wood tables and menus printed on laminated sections of tree. There's no cutlery either: you rip at great hunks of meat and swab it up with nan the size of a trash can lid. But don't let this modish coarseness fool you: there's nothing back-to-basics about the cooking. The tandoori jhinga?four colossal marinated prawns flavored with yogurt, red chilies, turmeric and garam masala?is sensational. And the sikandari raan, a whole leg of spring lamb soaked in vinegar, cinnamon and cumin and cooked in the tandoor...

...huge ceilings and fine carpets. There are three great restaurants and a huge bar that packs in the young on weekends. But the truly chic should head for The Manor, an 18-room boutique hotel set in a secluded southern garden in Friend's Colony. The owners have combined modish veneer, glass and low lighting with traditional Indian textiles and a hint of colonial style to produce India's first designer hotel.
