Nightlife
The Clubber: Enigma. THE hottest club at the moment counts itself as one of Aishwarya's favorites. A combo of western and Bollywood music and well-known DJs keep the crowds coming. J W Marriott Hotel, Juhu Tara Road, Tel: 91-22 5693 3287. Couples only.

The Rocker. Ghetto. OK so India isn't exactly known for its raging rock scene. But Ghetto is probably the best you're going to get in Mumbai. A dingy, graffiti covered bar playing a rock/pop mix can be a welcome respite from all of the other glossy Bollywood clubs. 30 Bhulabhai Desai Marg Tel: 022 2353 8418

The Pink City

“Pink is the navy blue of India”, Diana Vreeland, once astutely remarked oh-so many years ago. And when you visit Jaipur, you’ll realize she was right.

SLEEP
Liz Hurley threw Arun Nayar’s 40^th birthday here, French Vogue’s Carine Roitfeld is rumored to have stayed here, and well, it’s fabulous. Devi Garh, the painfully luxurious 18^th century palace turned hotel features suites embellished with marble and semi-precious stones, swimming pools with mountain views. This is way better than Uma’s house. Devi Garh, deviresorts.com

SHOP
French jeweler Marie-Helene de Taillac and Munnu Kasliwal of the famed Gem Palace have partnered together to create Hot Pink, the first concept store in Jaipur. Hot Pink brings together the best of contemporary Indian design and fashion, stocking lines such as Abraham and Thakore, Bounipun,Manish Arora, and Tulsi. Hot stuff indeed.

EAT
Hungry out-of-towners like Naomi Campbell and home grown royalty like Amitabh Bachchan eat at Niros Restaurant for some of the best Rajastani food in the area. It’s not exactly the hottest or trendiest spot, but with a menu that ranges from Rajastani to Chinese to Continental everyone is bound to be happy. Niros Restaurant www.nirosindia.com
