Hassle Free Dental Experience - Just at Apollo White Dental Clinic

I am not a person who loves to be sitting on a dentist's chair and showing my big bunny teeth with glee.   Ofcourse I had my own moments of anxiety and paranoid times when I was forced to be on a dental appointment.  So when the Influencer network approached me to be visiting Apollo White Dental, my fears were the same.   However, the blogger in me was restless.  I wanted to pay the visit and see for my ownself about the big emerging banner in dental care.

It was a seamless appointment process and I fixed up to visit them on a Saturday morning, the first leisure time I could grab for myself.   The registration process was equally satisfying and a friendly young lady took me through the initial details capture and put me on to the dentist in the Velachery clinic.    The young doctor looked all smiling...keeping up to the name of the dental care.   He explained to me various things that need to be fixed after the initial examination and very calmly answered my questions...including those that would have sounded silly or stupid.   

As it was a weekend, the clinic was getting more and more patients and by 11 am, the clinic was getting over crowded.  Doctors and attendants were trying their best to meet all the requirements of those visiting.   The x-ray unit was highly sophisticated with the latest equipment and had the ability to capture multi-dimensional images. 

It was different from the usual dentist experiences.  The place looked cosy, relaxing and welcoming.   The people were polite, friendly and responsive.   The technical support system was not only sophisticated but also had the latest equipments and machinery needed to handle painless dental care. 

For those who fear a dentist like me, should plan a visit to Apollo Dental Clinic for their next dentist visit to wade away those fears.    As I did not plan to stay for the whole day to complete all procedures, I had to tell them that I will visit them again for getting the scaling done and also fix my chipped teeth post a long gone accident.

There was no chaos, but peace on this visit to the dentist.    Glad I did, as first step to shred those inhibitions of visiting a dental care center. 

Apollo White Dental Clinic stands for the name of Apollo in healthcare industry that stands for its quality, customer care,  ensuring proper care and good facilities.   One thing that I need to add is, it does come for a slightly higher price than your local dentist.   But it is worth those extra Rupees.  

Botton Line:    Visit Apollo White Dental for a beautiful dental care experience!

3.       Build teams with Open communication.   Global workforce differs in the way they work.  Whereas some more openly tell their opinions others may not indulge so.  So try to establish clear communication process where everyone can contribute efficiently

4.       No-No to Generalization.   Even in in-house teams, there is absolutely no fragment for generalization.  Each employee differs in the way they work and in productivity.  Skill-sets and trainings can be common and generalized but only experience can group individuals with similar attitudes

What make successful projects are the teams who understand these vital ingredients and balance their professional tasks and handling the cultural-multi-work environment’s inbuilt challenges.   Those professionals are the ones who give in their best beyond their personal calling… It is the teamwork the makes Global Projects Successful stories.  

Food Bloggers Review : JALPAAN- Classy Vegetarian Restaurant in Chennai

Have been to GRT Adyar and just missed watching the big Jalpaan restaurant board in the same building.  Unless my friend choose this place our School Friends Reunion on the New Year Day this year.    Alas!  It was a good choice.  

 

Very classy ambiance coupled with pure vegetarian cuisine was a welcome for our gang which had maximum number of vegetarians.   Especially for Jains, this is a place they can have a proper vegetarian meal.   First thing of service is the valet parking facility on the busy main road of Adyar.  Such a relief to have a good parking place.  Next and importantly the biggest thing is Food!  You can relish both North Indian and Italian cuisine with happiness.   We and our big gang of kids loved their chat items and especially Pani Poori's that came with small jugs of Pani :-)  

 

The Salads were regular, and the starters were lip-smacking.   The paneer cheese balls, the veg vadas, gobi Manchurian,  cheese kababs made us enjoy the meal.   After couple of starters rounds, there was less craving for the main course.   However,  there were good spicy biryani, veg fried rice, with green thai curry, regular rice and rasam with variety of papads and veg salads.  

 

Desserts were good, however, there was less amounts of refill as we were getting towards the end of the dining.   We had to repeatedly ask them for refill or serve to the table and this can be improved.  However,  the meal ended with scoops of icecreams and Jalpaan and real paan :-)   We wished the icecreams also had some choices other than plain vanilla and strawberry :-)  that day probably because the restaurant was over crowded on the New Year evening.  

 

I would personally give this restaurant rating of 4/5 for the good food and ambience. 

 

Modern and basic vegetarian restaurant offering Italian, Indian and other international dishes.

Day 50 - Every Day Inspiration - Three things to remember

Day 49 - Every Day Inspirations - #LifeWithoutYou

Life without you!

My Dad and I -  A Father's Love is Forever!

As I walk along the beach

Holding my bag slinging on my side

I wish you could just come

And hold my hand to walk along

Sitting in the sand,

Watching the waves

Trying to go and pick a shell

Wishing everything was just well

There is love, love in abundance

In my heart, in my soul for you

I laugh to myself recalling your wit

And giggle over your lovely treats

As you touch my head to bless

I hug you in your warmth no less

You are the first man in my life

A friend, a guide, a great dad!

Teaching me traits to bigger dreams

Guiding me in my own chosen paths

Inspiring all along with your love

Keeping the home sweet and peace

Life without you, was unimaginable!

But as we had to deal with your loss

I had no lack of your love

For I always felt your presence!

A divine light guiding me through

Letting me feel life always with you!
