Health Vacation at JNI - Day 1

Image
Day 1 You are expected to reach JNI before 11 AM on your first day. Keeping that in mind we booked the cab for 8.30 AM from Marathalli as our first pickup was from there. Next myself and Mahesh got picked-up  from Koramangla. We took NICE road so that we avoid going thru traffic and can reach JNI as per expected time. It took about 1 hour 30 minutes from Marathalli to JNI. At the main gate of JNI campus, we were asked to keep our luggage in the visitors room and were asked to meet the coordinators at the reception. The registration was very systematic and smooth. AT the main gate security, they have a list of all the patients supposed to join every day. We met the counselors who helped us initiate the joining formalities. While we were completing the joining formalities, we were served welcome drink, Tender Coconut water. It was really refreshing and I was thinking that why people write so much on food in JNI, not knowing fully what’s in store for next ten days...

The Wake Up Call I want to start this with a quote from author Robin Sharma’s book ‘The monk who sold his Ferrari’, “ When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts breaks their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be ”. My friend is suffering with Polyp’s for a long ti.me and it was getting worst day by day. He tried taking medicines, homeopathy but nothing worked. Doctors finally advised him surgery to remove the Polyp’s and to clear the nasal blockage. This was the wake call for my friend and he started searching on the net for other alternative solutions available. While searching on net, he got to know of Naturopathy treatment at Jindal Nature Cure. He checked their website and read t...

Passport for Minor or an Infant

I recently applied for passport for my two daughters aged 3 and 8. It was a renewal for the 8 year old and a fresh passport for the 3 year old. I am sharing my experience for the benefit of others. While applying for passports for my daughters, I didn't get much direction online, though there was information on the passport website about the forms and formalities but not on the exact process and how one should prepare. There are few forums and blogs which talk about this but do not provide much direction. I am sure all those who have kids will want to apply for passports irrespective of their travel plans. My  elder kid already had a passport which was due for renewal in November’14 and I had to apply for a fresh passport for the younger one. You can apply for a renewal of old passport anytime within one year from the date of expiry of the passport. Since I had to apply fresh passport for the younger one, I decided to renew the elder ones passport also at the ...
