It’s perfect for chilling by the…

As the second wave and unpredictable mutants of Covid-19 continue their march unabated across India, my heart goes out to those brave souls out there, discharging their duties amidst the pandemic; healthcare workers, essential service personnel and our own colleagues from the mainstream media who are out on the field reporting live. As a technology publication, we are hopeful that innovations such as Onboard Oxygen Generation Systems originally meant for defence, being put to civil use, would help in arresting this crisis. While we continue to urge everyone to stay indoors and take all…

The soft, fluffy lining will add a touch of warmth (it isn’t summer quite yet), while the outer brown or black calf leather will look super-smart and luxurious. Tom Ford’s Stephan slip-ons are quite traditional in one sense, with their classic loafer vibe, replete with traditional dangling tassel. But that backless design gives them a modern edge, and encourages them to…
