While it is possible to get many Indian spices now in supermarkets, for the best selection I go to Kalustyan’s in New York City (kalustyans.com) and India Sweets & Spices in Los Angeles (indiasweetsandspices.org).
Fashion
I like Indian designers Tarun Tahiliani (taruntahiliani.com) and Naeem Khan, who has modern saris in his collection (naeemkhan.com). Nalli International carries raw silks, simple saris and Indian fabrics for the home (nallisilk.com).
Music
My girlfriend DJ Rekha does Basement Bhangra at the club S.O.B.’s in New York City, which has become an institution (sobs.com). I love South Indian classical music (Carnatic music); my favorite musician is violinist T.N. Krishnan.
