INDIA NEWS | Sun, 14 Sep 2025, 9:02AM IST Men, I may not know. But shoes shoes I know, said New Yorks favourite columnist Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, in the original Sex and the City series. The luxury-toting writer, who for seasons sold us the fairy tale that a newspaper columnist in modernday New York could afford the lifestyle she lived, is inarguably one of the most famous footwear fans, second only to Imelda Marcos. But even this shoe addict who stayed away from anything that was not over 4 inches, might not understand the current shoe scene.This new world of portmanteau panachein all things fashionmight have even flummoxed her. In clothes, skorts and skousers are in. Shacket is a current trend. In shoes, the fashion lexicon is adding new terms, with snoafers (sneakers meet loafers) and sneakerina (sneakers meet ballet flats) leading from the front.We are firmly entering the era of the hybrid shoe, which is a mash-up of two (or more) silhouettes. There are loafers that combine the sportiness of a sneaker, ballet flats that work for a long walk too, Crocs clogs with a heel, and heeled sneakers. In short, shoes refuse to be boxed in.AND THE SHOE FITSIrish designer Simone Rocha was one of the first to experiment. In 2020, she debuted her ballet tracker shoes with a heavyset sole and crisscross straps adorned with pearls and crystals. They have become one of her signatures. Aprajita Toor, founder of the eponymous footwear brand, recently launched Umrao Janes, a desi take on Mary Janes, those classic shoes with a strap. She says: We are living in a moment where boundaries are dissolving between cultures, between comfort and couture, between tradition and tomorrow. Hybrids step into this space with ease. Her Umrao Janes have the classic silhouette of Mary Janes but are dressed in zardozi vines, dori swirls, or mirrorwork fragments. Toor says when you mix two distinct silhouettes and aesthetics, the clash becomes a conversation.Hybrids went mainstream when Spanx founder S a r a Blakely launched Sneex, a sneaker with a heel in 2024. Last year, the New Balance 1906La snoaferwas the it-shoe. This year, Louis Vuittons summer shoe is a sneakerina, Hoka has launched its snoafer, Puma and Balenciaga have reimagined the Speedcat as a sneakerina, and Miu Miu has collaborated with New Balance. And now Vogue Arabia says the Birkenstock 1774, which reinvents the classic clog as a chunky autumn ballerina, will likely b e come t h e next hype hybrid shoe for autumn 2025. Delhi-based stylist Rin Jajo has slip-on sneakers from Prada that look like a cross between loafers and sneakers. He says, We are in a postsneaker era where people are quite done with hype sneakers. We are constantly trying to go beyond the homogenisation of fashion and tend to look for new and unique things and this is possibly why hybrid shoes are trending.FOOTLOOSE, FANCIFULIndian brands are putting their own spin to the style. Delhi-based handcrafted shoe and accessory brand Mistry launched its sneakerina this month. Ronak Kapoor, creative director of Mistry, says over 120 units were sold in the first two days. The trend has many driving factors, he says: The first is nostalgiawe all want to be able to relate to things we loved or saw being loved when we were kids. Then the lifestyle aspectwith busy schedules, people need something comfortable yet stylish that can take them from day to night. Hybrid shoes are not only functional but also tweak the form.While creating their version of the sneakerina, Kapoor says they wanted it to look good but didnt want to compromise on comfort. They have used traditional materials used in sports shoes and mixed it with leather, which is their forte.Sam Le Roy, co-owner of Hartcopy, an Instagram-based platform for sneaker storytelling, told Footwear News , a publication on the industry, that he had grown tired of the repetitiveness in trends with Air Jordans, retro runners, the Adidas Samba and other low-profile models. He sees the sneaker loafer as pushing boundaries and catering to consumers that have become more open-minded in the last two years.Laksheeta Govil, founder of Fizzy Goblet that built its cred on designer juttis, likes the idea of creating something unexpected. Fizzy Goblet makes the broguester where juttis meet the style and sturdiness of brogues. Jutti-loafers and jutti-sneakers are their bestsellers. The real charm of hybrids is in the unexpected mix that feels fresh and a little indulgent, says Govil.Agrees Toor: The challenge isnt in choosing between aesthetics, function, and traditionits in ensuring all three breathe in harmony. Each hybrid is less about compromise and more about creating a new legacy, one that feels both of-the-moment and timeless. Whats driving hybrids today is the spirit of experimentation and the desire to wear pieces that feel both familiar and surprising. They are not born purely out of practicality, but out of an appetite for fashion that blurs lines and refuses to be boxed in.NO MEAN FEETBut why do we need hybrids? For Govil its because it speaks to the current lifestyle where no two days are alike and we need shoes that fit in. Sneex was launched in Shruti Aggarwal, cofounder of Theater, known for its avant-garde designs, says people want their shoes to multitask like them. Hybrid shoes give an opportunity for people to identify with a style that helps them to express themselves. I think more than the physical attributes of a shoe, what people are looking for is association and if you can marry the two, then its a winning combo.Kapoor says while making a hybrid shoe one has to maintain the aesthetics of the original so people can relate to it and yet deliver on comfort. Aggarwal says the biggest challenge is restraint: You are borrowing the soul of two very different shoes, but you cant let one overpower the other. A hybrid works only when it feels inevitable where aesthetics, function and heritage dissolve into one another.Styling hybrids, says Jajo, can be a challenge sometimes as they can be more of a statement. He owns a pair of dupes of Lemaire linoleum piped sneakers that goes well with dressy and casual looks. His advice is to go for a style that can multitask and not a statement shoe that is limiting.The hybrid shoe is more than just hype. As Aggarwal says, Its essentially a hybrid style movement that speaks to a wide range of demographics and style preferences. It taps into the cultural fascination of a new generation which has no style rules. You can be sporty, delicate, performative, or seriousall at once.For Govil its the start of a new shoe language. Once people experience designs that defy categories yet work perfectly for their lives, theres no going back, she says. The lines will keep blurring, and thats where some of the most exciting ideas in footwear will come from. The shoe is not going back in the box.

INDIA NEWS | Sun, 14 Sep 2025, 8:32AM IST Polish and allied aircraft were deployed in a "preventive" operation in Poland's airspace Saturday because of a threat of drone strikes in neighboring areas of Ukraine, and the airport in the eastern Polish city of Lublin was closed, authorities said.The alert lasted around two hours. It came after multiple Russian drones crossed into Poland on Wednesday, prompting NATO to send fighter jets to shoot them down and underlining long-held concerns about the expansion of Russia's more than three-year war in Ukraine.The Polish military's operational command posted on X on Saturday afternoon that ground-based air defense and reconnaissance systems were on high alert. It stressed that "these actions are preventive in nature," and were aimed at securing Poland's airspace and protecting the country's citizens. It cited a threat of drone strikes in regions of Ukraine bordering Poland, but didn't give further details.Prime Minister Donald Tusk also posted that "preventive air operations" had begun in Polish airspace because of the threat posed by Russian drones operating over nearby areas of Ukraine. The Polish Air Navigation Services Agency said that Lublin Airport was closed to air traffic "due to military aviation activities," and the government security center warned of a threat of air attack for several border counties in the region.Later Saturday, the military's operational command wrote on X that the operation "has been completed" and that ground-based defense and reconnaissance systems had returned to normal.Russia has said it didn't target Poland on Wednesday, and Moscow's ally, Belarus, said that the drones went astray because they were jammed. But European leaders have expressed certainty that the incursions were a deliberate provocation by Russia.Polish aircraft have been scrambled repeatedly in recent months to patrol the country's airspace in connection with Russian airstrikes in Ukraine, but those strikes have usually occurred overnight or in the early morning.Separately, Romania said it deployed two F-16 jets to intercept a drone that briefly entered its airspace on Saturday afternoon."The drone did not fly over inhabited areas and did not represent an imminent danger to the security of the population," the NATO member's defense ministry said in a statement.The ministry said that teams of specialists would conduct searches for potential debris. Romanian authorities didn't specify where they thought the drone originated from.

INDIA NEWS | Sat, 13 Sep 2025, 11:27PM IST The government has proposed an approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM) for wafers that are used for manufacturing solar panels, in a move to create a domestic supply chain for solar equipment.ALMM acts as a non-tariff barrier for import, by mandating to purchase the equipment from the manufacturers that are on the list.So far, the ministry of new and renewable energy has brought out two such lists, one for solar modules and the other for cells. The solar cells list will come into effect from June 2026.It has now brought in a proposal for issuing a third list for wafers effective June 2028, a draft proposal showed. Views and comments on the draft are to be submitted by October 11.The ALMM list-III for wafers will not be issued unless it contains at least three wafer manufacturing units, which must operate independently, shall not be under a common ownership or control and have aggregate manufacturing capacity of at least 15 GW a year.To list on the ALMM for wafers, the manufacturer should also have an equivalent ingot manufacturing capacity. As per the proposal, the wafer manufacturing capacity enlisted on ALMM list-III will reflect the manufacturing capacity of both ingots and wafers.The government had launched a production-linked incentive scheme for high efficiency solar modules with an outlay of 24,000 crore in 2022. In the scheme, there were provisions to make wafer-ingots and polysilicon as well.The extra push comes amid the idea to slowly backward integrate the solar equipment supply chain and build energy security.India now has 100 GW of module manufacturing capacity and around 25 GW cells capacity.All projects falling under the purview of ALMM will have to mandatorily source their modules from list-I and such modules in turn will have to use cells from list-II and this applies in the proposed rules for wafers as well.

INDIA NEWS | Sat, 13 Sep 2025, 8:25PM IST Delhi Police on Saturday registered an FIR on a BJP worker's complaint over an AI-generated "deepfake" video posted by the Bihar Congress unit on its X handle that allegedly tarnished the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother, an official said. The complaint was filed on Friday by Sanket Gupta, convenor of the BJP Delhi Election Cell, at the North Avenue Police Station, who alleged the video "maligned the Prime Minister's image, grossly violating law, morality and women's dignity". The clip was posted on the official X handle of the Indian National Congress, Bihar unit, on September 10, the complaint said. The case has been registered against unnamed persons under sections 336 (Forgery), 340(2) (Forged document or electronic record and using it as genuine), 352 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 356(2) (Defamation) and 61(2) (Criminal conspiracy) of the BNS, they added. The AI-generated purported video of Modi's late mother was shared in the post in which "the PM is seen dreaming about his late mother who is criticising him over his politics in poll-bound Bihar." The BJP and its allies had lashed out at the Congress over the video, calling it "shameful" and wondering how low the opposition party would stoop to target Modi. The Congress has maintained that there has been no disrespect shown towards the prime minister or his mother. "What is their objection? Just because a mother is trying to educate her son to do something right, where is the disrespect? This is neither disrespectful to the mother, whom we respect dearly, nor to the son," Pawan Khera, head of the Congress' media and publicity department, had said.

INDIA NEWS | Sat, 13 Sep 2025, 7:46PM IST The Supreme Court is slated to pronounce on September 15 its interim orders on three key issues, including the power to denotify properties declared as "waqf by courts, waqf-by-user or waqf by deed", which cropped up during the hearing of pleas challenging the validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.A bench headed by Chief Justice B R Gavai had on May 22 reserved the interim orders on these issues after hearing both sides in the waqf case.According to the cause list of September 15 uploaded on the apex court website, the court will deliver its order in the matter.One of the issues relate to the power to denotify properties declared as "waqf by courts, waqf-by-user or waqf by deed" prescribed in the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.Before reserving the interim order, the bench heard arguments by advocates appearing for those challenging the amended waqf law, and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, on three consecutive days.The bench previously identified the three issues, on which a stay was sought by the petitioners, for passing interim orders.Apart from the issue of denotification, petitioners have raised questions over the composition of state waqf boards and the Central Waqf Council, where they contend only Muslims should operate except ex-officio members.The third issue relates to a provision that says a waqf property will not be treated as a waqf when the collector conducts an inquiry to ascertain if the property is government land.The Centre strongly defended the Act, saying waqf by its very nature was a "secular concept" and can't be stayed given the "presumption of constitutionality" in its favour.Moreover, though waqf was an Islamic concept, it was not an essential part of Islam, it added.Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, leading the petitioners, described the law as a "complete departure from historical legal and constitutional principles" and a means to "capture waqf through a non-judicial process".On April 25, the Union Ministry of Minority Affairs filed a preliminary 1,332-page affidavit defending the amended Waqf Act of 2025 and opposed any "blanket stay" by the court on a "law having presumption of constitutionality passed by Parliament".The Centre notified the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 after it got President Droupadi Murmu's assent on April 5.The bill was cleared by Lok Sabha with the support of 288 members while 232 MPs were against it. The Rajya Sabha saw 128 members voting in its favour and 95 against it.

Legal protection, under strict conditions, would be provided to those with an annual income of less than Rs 3 lakh and cases where the total loan amount does not exceed Rs 5 lakh and fine and it's interest within Rs 10 lakh, it said.

A two-member NCLAT bench said the plea for CIRP (Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process) against Logix Infrastructure, which was developing the Blossom County project in Noida Sector 137, are based on collusion and are malicious with sufficient material.

"I am ready to do major sanctions on Russia when all NATO nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO nations stop buying oil from Russia," he said in a social media post. He proposed that NATO, as a group, place 50-100% tariffs on China to weaken its economic grip over Russia. This follows Trump's earlier threats of sanctions on Moscow and secondary sanctions on countries buying its oil, such as top buyers China and India, if no progress is made to end the war in Ukraine.
