Bengaluru-based brands Comet and Naru Noodle Bar drop a sneaker collab that you did not see coming
The Comet X Naru sneaker comprises 400 pairs that will drop on August 2 at 11 am at Comet' store in Indiranagar, Bengaluru, and online the following evening I noisily tear open my Naru ramen noodle soup packet and a pair of sneakers tumble out. These sneakers have — hold your breath — chopsticks sticking out of them, not by accident but by design. This is the result of a collaboration between homegrown sneaker brand Comet and Naru Noodle Bar, Bengaluru. While a footwear label and restaurant collab is unusual, it's not unheard of. In the past we have seen Burger King X Fila, (Dubai-based Pakistani restaurant) Ravi X Adidas, KOIO X Dominique Ansel. But this is, perhaps, the first time, two young Indian brands are creating something like this. The Comet X Naru sneaker comprises 400 pairs that will drop on August 2 at 11 am at Comet's store in Indiranagar, Bengaluru. Following which, a few pieces will drop on the website on August 3 at 6 pm. 'This is a Bengaluru first community drop. Both are Bengaluru brands. We've got lots of love from them and they have given us a platform to thrive on,' says Utkarsh Gupta, co-founder of Comet, adding that Comet's first collab was with artist Santanu Hazarika. Naru has joined forces before, with chefs, restaurants, and local artists for T-shirts. 'But this is the first time we are collaborating with a sneaker brand,' says Kavan Kuttappa, chef and founder of Naru Noodle Bar. After a meal at Naru, Utkarsh was visibly impressed with the food, attention to detail, and how passionate Kavan was. That got him thinking. 'And after six months of planning, design and samples, we are here,' adds Kavan. Kavan also was part of the design process. The shoe is black to match Naru's uniform. Then there is the winding Naru logo which resembles noodles and has the word Na in Kannada and rest in Japanese, which is embroidered on the shoe. 'We have also added minor elements at the back, like a monkey on the left and the noodle he is slurping on stretching to the right and ending in a noodle bowl,' explains Utkarsh. It is a black on black stitch and subtle. There are also some hidden elements. Kavan suggested putting Urumaki and Ajimata, inspired by their kitchen, beneath the heel tabs. The final surprise is a pair of detachable chopsticks. Utkarsh says, 'As a founder I am looking for inspiration. And this is cool, unique, fun!' The Comet X Naru sneakers are priced at ₹5,999.

‘Fulfilled a dream that spanned 3 generations': NEET-UG 2nd topper has some advice for future aspirants
Utkarsh Awadhiya from Madhya Pradesh's Indore, the second topper in the medical entrance NEET-UG, has fulfilled a family dream that spans three generations. 'My grandfather had this dream for my father to become a doctor but he couldn't. My father had the same dream for me and I always wanted to fulfill his dream,' he said. 'I was also curious about learning about the human body and that's why I decided to become a doctor.' Utkarsh's father Alok Awadhiya, a bank manager, said, 'It could not fulfill my father's dream because of various reasons. Now my son has fulfilled that dream and made our family proud.' Utkarsh's NEET preparation followed a structured approach. His method included regular practice after learning topics. 'After studying any topic, I used to do objective questions related to those topics from training modules. That was helpful.' NCERT revision formed the backbone of his preparation. 'I used to study NCERT for all the subjects during the fortnightly tests. So a month before the exams, I had already revised NCERT more than 10 times,' he said. Error analysis was crucial to his success. 'I also made an error analysis copy. After every test, I used to write my errors in those and after every test I used to go to my teachers with my doubts.' Utkarsh maintained a disciplined yet balanced approach to his preparations. 'I used to study for 6 to 7 hours after coaching. I studied for 2 hours then took a 15-20 minute break during which I used to spend time with my family and friends. I also played games such as volleyball and football,' he said. Stressing the importance of those breaks, he said, 'They helped me rejuvenate my energy and also increase my efficiency, helping me concentrate better for the next 2 hours,' he said. Utkarsh said he stayed away from social media and called it a distraction. 'I never used social media during my preparation. I used it once a week to stay connected. The future aspirants should know this — the less you stay on social media, the better your preparation will be in two years. Social media is nothing but a distraction and a waste of your time.' However, he did leverage technology like Artificial Intelligence for his studies. 'I used AI during the last stages of my preparation for clearing doubts and formulating some questions.' Utkarsh has clear goals for his medical career. 'I want to pursue my MBBS from Delhi and MD medicine from Delhi,' he said. His advice for future NEET aspirants is to focus on consistency and perseverance. 'Always follow what your teachers are saying. Regularly study NCERT. Never miss any test. Never miss any class and at the end do not feel demotivated if you get low marks in your tests,' he said. Drawing from personal experience, he added: 'I also used to get low marks in my tests, but at the end you will be able to clear NEET if you stay focused.'
