Study by ClinicSpots on hair transplant services in tourist destinations of India portrays why visitors prefer checking destinations that offer premier hospitality.
India ranks as one of the emerging destinations for medical tourism for a range of medical services including cancer treatment, organ transplant, IVF treatment and quality cosmetic treatments, especially hair transplant and liposuction procedures.
In a recent study conducted by ClinicSpots on hair transplant services in tourist destinations of India, most of the visitors prefer to check in with tourist destinations that offer premier hospitality and state of the art cosmetic treatments. Therefore, Delhi, our capital and the Golden Triangle take the lead position.
The Golden Triangle in North India which includes the cities of Jaipur, Agra and Delhi is one of the most popular destinations amongst visitors with most of them extending their trip to visit religious hotspots of Haridwar and Rishikesh which are a couple of hours away by road.
Most medical tourists seek this opportunity to relax, unwind and also undergo a hair transplant or a cosmetic makeover in India. Undoubtedly, India is one of the leading countries across the world with highly experienced board-certified cosmetic surgeons offering their hair transplant services at affordable rates.
Dr Deepesh Goyal of Rejuvena Cosmo Care, Jaipur states, ‘I have been doing FUE hair transplant for many foreign visitors since the past five years. Most of them are keen to get affordable hair transplant in Jaipur treatment done by a highly qualified board-certified cosmetic surgeon. Hence, they are highly satisfied and have referred my services to their friends. Also, we go extra lengths to offer warm hospitality during their stay in Jaipur.’
Jaipur is a historic and charming royal city. It is known for its impressive architecture and ambience. Tourists who wish to experience royal yet warm hospitality prefer to spend a few leisure filled days amidst its vibrant culture, especially during the warm winter months.
For those tourists who are keen to travel northwards, prefer to explore Haridwar and Rishikesh. Both Haridwar and Rishikesh have their share of idyllic charm and ambience. Nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas with Ganga, the eternally flowing river offers a unique spiritual vibe which most foreign visitors wish to experience themselves.
And, while in Haridwar, they can also go-ahead for a quick hair transplant job as offered by Regrow Hair Clinic along with a range of cosmetic treatments. As Dr Ankur Singhal, Managing Director of Regrow Hair Clinic, Haridwar opines that ‘Most of his foreign patients are visitors who prefer to stay for longer periods in a pleasant and warm climate as it is in Haridwar most of the time. They are keen to undergo a quick hair transplant procedure and also fully recover before they return to their home country.’
Regrow Hair Clinic has one of the best hair transplant doctor in India offers the QHT – Quick Hair Transplant treatment which promises best results within a few weeks of hair transplant. Till date, Regrow Hair Clinic has treated an increasing number of foreign tourists with affordable hair transplant along with beard & moustache hair procedures.
Most tourists wish to undertake an image makeover at economical prices without compromising on the quality of treatment. Currently, India is offering quality cosmetic and medical services on par with global standards as we have Indian doctors who have been trained in best medical institutes located abroad. Moreover, they are well equipped and eager to offer the same state of art services which medical tourists are looking forward to in India.
Along with hair transplant procedures, foreign tourists can look forward to go ahead with cosmetic makeovers, dental restoration treatments along with medical therapies at highly reasonable rates without compromising on the quality or the scope of treatment.
Apart from these cosmetic procedures, ClinicSpots is hopeful that the visiting tourists will take advantage of an extensive range of alternative therapies across tourist destinations pan India. The Ministry of AYUSH, a Government of India initiative, is offering wholesome support to alternate therapies of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy across India. It is a matter of time that India takes the lead as the emerging tourist destination across South East Asia and the globe.

USVice President Kamala Harris is the new fascination of the media and several communities across the world.
The newly elected Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, is the talk of town these days. Her background has put her in the spotlight of media. She is half Indian and half Jamaican by background as well as American by birth. Kamala’s mother, Shyamala Gopalan, belonged to a Tamil Brahmin family who moved to the States to study at Berkeley. She then met and married Daniel Harris, who himself is a Jamaican immigrant.
Several Feats In Her Name
Kamala Harris was the first black Attorney General of California. She is also the first Black Woman and Indian Woman to claim such a position in the US Senate. Harris being half Indian, the Indians are emphasizing on her Indian heritage. There are Indians who have raised questions on her being called Asian American rather than Indian. Another set of people feel that having an Indian Woman in the White House will help India. Many people from the Indian Tamil community celebrated her victory by bursting crackers.
On the other hand, Jamaicans are proud of her becoming the Vice President. They believe that she values Jamaica and its heritage. They feel she is proud of her heritage and will continue to feel so. People of the Jamaican community also feel that they are eliminating any stereotypes that have been created with regard to them.
There are so many more claims that both the communities make tied to Kamala Harris. Each community has its own beliefs regarding her and her position in the US Senate. However, only time will tell what work she is going to do.
Kamala Harris – A Lady With Courage, Ambition And A Voice
Kamala Harris has always been a person of her mind. She has always been vocal about important issues like marriage equality, immigration, etc. Just because both the communities are putting out their feelings towards her, it does not mean she will stand only for them. As the Vice President of the United States, there are various issues that need her attention. It is not possible or appropriate for her to address just Indians and Jamaicans.
It is the Vice President’s right and duty to choose her course of action. As a member of the US Senate, she will address problems and issues of the people of America. It is not up to Indian or Jamaican community to decide her path of running the office. People need to understand the importance and decorum of her position. She has been elected for the position not to play favouritism of one community over the other. She is there to address the American citizens as well as global matters.
With the hope that people look at the bigger picture and not just their personal gains, we wish Kamala Harris a path-breaking term ahead.

For the first time in history, SpaceX(a private company) launches a manned mission to International Space Station.
A SpaceX shuttle carrying four astronauts took off into space on Sunday, on its first manned mission NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to expect this process to be a long-term plan in assisting Humans to the International Space Station (ISS) completely to operate as expected.
The crew will take 27 hours in orbit as the spacecraft gradually moves toward its objective.
The time taken would have been more shorter if the Crew Dragon were able to lauch on Saturday, as NASA initially arranged, due to a Hurricane the ETA had to be delayed and took off on Sunday.
The container has a working restroom, and the astronauts will have time to get some sleep as the completely self-sufficient vehicle moves through orbit while SpaceX and NASA authorities in Houston, Texas, and Hawthorne, California, look after the excursion.
Sunday’s mission was quickly tossed into question after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk revealed on Twitter that he was encountering manifestations and was being tested for COVID-19, prompting NASA to complete a contact tracing effort to guarantee no basic staff for the dispatch may have been uncovered.
The US has gone through almost 10 years without the capacity to dispatch space travelers into space after the retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011, and NASA had to depend on Russian Soyuz rocket to get space explorers to the ISS, which the space organization says left the multibillion-dollar orbiting research center understaffed.
SpaceX built up the Crew Dragon case under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, which, for the first time in the space agency’s history, given over a large part of the plan, advancement and testing of new human-evaluated shuttle to the private sector.
US President Donald Trump responded to the news by saying that NASA was a closed up disaster when he accepted the administration in 2016 and was currently the ‘hottest’, most developed space community on the planet.
Do you know why Bhai Dooj is celebrated? Read on to know more.
The relationship of a brother and sister is special and unique. One can’t describe the bond in words. This relationship is always special as siblings are the chosen friends that we get. It is very important that this connection be celebrated and acknowledged every once in a while.
The Hindu culture has two days in a year that celebrate the relationship of a brother and sister. One being Rakshabandhan and the other being Bhai Dooj. Bhai dooj is celebrated two days after Diwali i.e. today. Bhai dooj is also known as Bhaubeej, Bhaiyadooj, Bhai Teeka or Bhai Phota in various parts of the country. It is observed on the last or fifth day of Diwali.
On this day, the sisters pray to Lord Yamraj, God of Death, for the long life and prosperity of their brothers. This auspicious day is an opportunity for sisters to host feasts for their brothers and sister-in-laws by inviting them to their homes. Sisters usually give presents or gifts to their brothers.
As per Hindu Mythology, it is known that Yamraj loved his sister a lot. Hence, he declared that all the brothers who receive a red tika on their forehead and an aarti from their sisters on this day, shall not fear death.
Another story says that Yamraj was invited to his sister, Yamuna’s house several times, but he could not go. When he finally got a chance to visit her she has prepared a big feast for him and this made Yamraj immensely happy. On this day, Yamraj asked Yamuna to ask for a wish that he would fulfil. She asked that a day should be marked each year for Yamraj to visit her home. Therefore, the tradition of Bhai dooj began from this day.
Silicon Valley’s remarkable executives hope Biden’s victory can help them in bringing in skilled foreign executives.
Tech advocates in Washington are apparently looking forward to work with the Biden administration and change several of US President Donald Trump’s movement strategies, particularly those that had made hindrances for high talented visa holders.
Probably the greatest names in Silicon Valley have conflicted with the Trump administration in court, suing over his executive orders immigration for foreign workers, and are currently organizing the expulsion of the President’s activities in 2021, revealed The Hill.
The Trump organization had declared new migration rules a month ago intended to make it more hard for skilled workers to obtain visas. The guidelines fix prerequisites for employers who enlist laborers on H-1B visas, which are set aside for skilled workers, especially in the technology field.
TechNet, a gathering of industry chiefs from organizations like Apple, Amazon, Google, had recorded claims testing the new standards. If not effective, they trust & hope that the standards are repealed by President-elect Joe Biden.
“They’ve indicated they are going to be very different than the Trump administration on high-skilled immigration, immigration in general….High-skilled immigration…has led to so much growth and technological superiority and competitiveness for the US,” said TechNet CEO Linda Moore.
The Biden transition group declined to remark.
Notwithstanding, before Biden expects the presidential office, Silicon Valley is stressed that Trump could brace down ever harder on specialist visas in the last days of his organization, as indicated by The Hill.
White House head of staff Mark Meadows supposedly said on an ongoing call that the president is looking to settle a standard to make the norms stricter around H-1B visas, separate from rules declared a month ago.
