Spread the Light Campaign: #HappyHappyDiwali

Celebrating Diwali with Purpose

In the heart of every festival lies a profound purpose – to bring people together, to celebrate life, and to spread joy. At 1GEN, we believe that Diwali, the festival of lights, offers us a unique opportunity to do just that, but on a scale that transcends our immediate surroundings. This is why, year after year, we embark on our "Spread the Light" campaign, a heartfelt initiative that seeks to illuminate lives far beyond the reach of our diyas.

Our purpose for this campaign is to share a deeper connection, understand why kindness matters, and help others experience a Diwali full of joy and light.

The Spread the Light campaign, marked with our signature hashtag #HappyHappyDiwali, is 1GEN’s annual initiative focused on harnessing the spirit of giving. As a crowdfunding effort, it is designed to bring people together for a shared cause: to brighten lives by building hope and spreading happiness.

The Dance of Three Flames

As the poet within us whispers:

First light dances in children's eyes

As Diwali Mela dreams touch the skies

Second light through Empower Vision glows

As clarity and hope together flows

The third light, Umeed Ka Diya burns bright

Where wisdom's hearts dance in festive light

Three flames unite in purpose true:

When we light others, we light up too ✨

Why do we do this?

The answer lies in the very essence of Diwali itself. This festival reminds us that light always triumphs over darkness, and that hope can flourish even in the most challenging times.

At 1GEN, we believe every kind act creates a ripple effect, bringing more warmth and light into the world. Our mission is to foster communities where compassion is the foundation, and we aim to rally givers who feel this sense of purpose. Together, we create a network of hope that stretches across generations and communities.

Our journey with Spread the Light isn’t just about raising funds; it’s about inspiring others to see the power of collective action. For us, helping others during Diwali isn’t enough unless we’re driven by the why. Each year, we ask ourselves, "Why is this important to us?" This reflection fuels our dedication and reminds us that kindness truly is the light in all our lives.

A Journey of Impact

The past years have taught us that impact isn't just measured in numbers, though our achievements tell a compelling story:

₹138,024 raised (3x our initial seed money)

70 women supported with sustainable solutions

Countless nutritious meals provided, three times a day

Hundreds of smiles brightened

Thousands of moments created

But these figures, impressive as they may be, only scratch the surface of our true impact. The real story lies in the transformations we've witnessed – the spark in a child's eye when they realise they're not forgotten, the quiet dignity in an elder's smile when they feel valued, the renewed hope when clear vision brings the world back into focus.

Looking Forward: The 2024 Vision

This year, our ELEMENT Leadership program candidates have crafted three powerful initiatives that embody our core belief: that light multiplies when shared. Through the Diwali Mela, Empower Vision, and Umeed Ka Diya, we're not just organizing events – we're creating spaces where:

Joy finds its home

Hope gets a new perspective

Wisdom meets warmth

This year, 1GEN has initiated three campaigns designed to transform lives with compassion and hope:

Diwali Mela at an Orphanage in Chandigarh Imagine a carnival where every game wins a smile, where every moment creates a memory. Our Diwali Mela isn't just an event – it's a canvas where children paint their dreams with colors of joy.

Empower Vision Campaign in Pune When someone sees the world clearly for the first time, their eyes light up with possibilities. Through Empower Vision, we're creating moments where clarity meets celebration, where every new perspective brings fresh wonder.

Diwali Celebration at an Old Age Home in Delhi In the warm glow of Umeed Ka Diya, stories come alive. Our elderly wisdom-keepers share tales that bridge generations, creating connections that illuminate hearts.

The 1GEN Way: Unity in Purpose

What makes the Spread The Light campaign uniquely 1GEN is our approach to impact. We see it as a community. Every team member, every participant, and every supporter is part of a larger story of transformation.

Our success isn't measured in donations or numbers alone, but in the lasting connections we build, the dignity we preserve, and the joy we create together. Because at 1GEN, we understand that true impact comes not from helping down, but from lifting up – together.

Why We Light These Diyas

At 1GEN, Spread The Light (STL) isn't just a campaign – it's our way of living the true spirit of Diwali. We believe that joy multiplies when shared, that light grows stronger when passed on, and that celebrations become meaningful when they touch lives.

Our ELEMENT teams pour their hearts into these initiatives because they understand: that when we light up others' lives, our own inner light burns brighter. It's about creating a circle of joy where giving and receiving become one.

Join Us in Spreading the Light

Looking Forward

This Diwali, we invite you to be part of this continuing story of light. Whether you're organizing activities, sharing skills, or simply spreading joy, your light matters. Because at 1GEN, we believe that true celebration lies not in the brightness of our lamps, but in the warmth of our collective spirit.

Be the Light This Diwali

Ready to be part of this illuminating journey? ➡️ [Know More] ➡️ [Support]

Together, let's make this Diwali truly Happy Happy for everyone. ✨

The year that was...

“Slippery slope. I carry a spare shirt, pretty soon I’m carrying spare pants. Then I’d need a suitcase. Next thing I know, I’ve got a house and a car and a savings plan and I’m filling out all kinds of forms.” —Jack Reacher (in Lee Child’s 2007 novel Bad Luck and Trouble)

For close to a year, I have been fortunate to be part of the Saturday morning conversazione that takes place in the office of Dr. S R Ramaswamy (SRR), who is more than a mentor to me. In one of the early meetings of 2023, SRR gave me his personal copies of two Jack Reacher novels (by James Dover Grant, who writes under the pseudonym Lee Child) and added with a smile, "I must warn you, these are addictive!"

A few days after that, I was going to be on a long train to Pune and had taken the novel with me. Even before we crossed the Karnataka border, I had finished reading the novel and cursed myself for not having brought the other one too (which was a result of my underestimation of my own reading speed). As soon as I came back to Bangalore, I raced through the other novel. When I returned the two novels to SRR, he gave me more. It had been years since I had read fiction and given that my day job involves reading, writing, design, and publication, I had forgotten the art of reading for pleasure. This gesture on SRR's part rekindled that spark. The flipside was that I started finding films and web series tiresome!

I mostly read Jack Reacher novels this year and what fascinated me the most (besides the intricate plots, value conflicts, and the edge-of-the-seat twists and turns) was the universal appeal of a character like Reacher who lives like a monk and fights like a tiger; even in the materialistic West the allure of a man who is detached and driven by a strong sense of dharma is irresistible. And that gives me hope.

Soon I will hit forty. Probably my best years are behind me but I like to believe that they are yet to come. To augment this belief, I lay out my plans for 2024 before getting into my recollections of 2023.

I have three short-term goals, which I wish to complete in the next six months: i. Organise my library ii. Simplify my wardrobe iii. Consolidate my finances and four lifestyle goals that I wish to continue through the year: 1. Exercise daily 2. Read more, and more varied books 3. Play the violin more 4. Avoid sugar and fried foods at all costs

Some of the books in the pipeline for this year are: A R Krishnasastri’s Kathāmṛta, a new edition of Bhāsa’s Svapna-vāsavadatta, D V Gundappa’s Jīvana-dharma-yoga translated by Raghavendra Hebbalalu and Sreelalitha Rupanagudi, Volumes VII and VIII of DVG’s Art Gallery of Memories, S R Ramaswamy’s Silhouettes of Excellence, Sripriya Srinivasan’s book on Pallava history for high school students, minor poems of Nīlakaṇṭha-dīkṣita, and Jayadeva’s Gīta-govindam, among others.

I'm also working on a few exciting projects with cousin Dr. Chandra Shekhar (a short stories anthology), my college classmate Sudarshan K A (on financial wisdom), and with my friends Ganesh Bhat Koppalatota and Neelakanth Kulkarni (curating the best of Kannada literature), and I hope that at least a few of these see completion by end of the year.

I was lucky to have a front row seat as the following books unfolded through the course of the year: Three volumes of DVG's Kannada writings in translation (Contemporaries of Vidyaranya, his writings on the two epics of India, and an anthology of his essays on poetics), Vols. V and VI of the Art Gallery of Memories by DVG, Śatāvadhānī Dr. R Ganesh's Kṣāttra: The Tradition of Valour in India, and Dr. L Subramaniam's Festival Beyond Borders, among others.

I was able to facilitate the publication of three books by family members: my mother's booklet of life-lessons titled Song of my Soul, my father's monograph on The Amazing Human Mind, and my great-uncle (Late) Sri S Rangarajan's mammoth 648-page memoirs titled It Happens as Ordained.

The highlight, however, was a little book that I co-wrote with Dr. Ganesh titled The Essential Sanatana Dharma.

In addition to working on a few books in 2023, I was also invited to give lectures on a variety of topics, some of which were at the insistence of Dr. Arathi V B who has often magnanimously offered me opportunities that are far beyond my ken. If my calculations are right, I must have given no less than eighteen lectures this year. Friends like Madhulika Srivatsa, Sagar Mehta, and Vani Anur invited me to their homes to give lectures to their family and friends, which were highly rewarding.

I had the singular fortune of addressing a large number of school children, teachers, young parents, devout Hindus, et al. on topics as varied as life skills to the essentials of Sanātana-dharma; from the importance of history and heritage to world musical genres (at an elders' enrichment centre); from Indian Knowledge Systems to the Art Gallery of Memories (series of lectures at the Gokhale Institute of Public Affairs); and on the Artha-śāstra, Mahābhārata, Bhagavad-gītā, and Śrīkṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta.

For more than two decades I have been attending the Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival (LGMF) organised by my guru Dr. L Subramaniam (along with his wife, Smt. Kavita Krishnamurti, who is the director of the festival); for some years, I was also active in the organising committee of the festival. Each edition of the LGMF has been a historic event and 2023 was no different. The upcoming tour is no less exciting with a remarkable orchestra from Kazakhstan visiting India.

Some of the other memorable events that I attended in 2023 include the third edition of Madanotsava organised by my good friends Nirupama and Rajendra, the eightieth birthday celebrations of Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam organised by Drishti Arts Centre, the fifth World Coffee Conference (thanks to my friend Ananth Bhatt), and a lovely eighty-fifth birthday celebration of my great-uncle Sri R Vasudevan that included a superb concert by the musician-surgeon of our family, Dr. Mukund Jagannathan.

Despite some challenges, the home situation was stable. My mother and my grandmother moved to an apartment next to my place and my father and brother regularly visit. I became one of the Trustees of our family trust and that means greater opportunity to help the community. I have also been involved in some consolidation of my finances so that I won't have to worry about money after 2024. I echo the sentiments of Jack Reacher in Gone Tomorrow (2009) — “I'm a rich man. To have everything you need is the definition of affluence.”

There are times when our family and friends perform an unexpected act of kindness that leaves us fumbling for words. My grandmother's younger sister, Smt. Shanti Rangarajan, aged 89, made a trip all the way from Chennai to Bangalore (with her daughter Deepta) to spend time with my mother on her 66th birthday, given that she was just recovering from her surgery and was home-bound.

When I was in Mumbai earlier this year, I happened to ping my BMS College classmate Anshuman Borah, who emigrated to UK some years ago. He immediately wrote back saying that he was in Pune to sell his flat. I had been in Pune that very morning; distraught at having missed catching up with him, I called him up to berate him for not telling me earlier. He immediately said, "I'll come to Mumbai tomorrow. Just send me your location and I'll be there to pick you up." Sure enough, the next morning he took a taxi from Pune all the way to Mumbai just to meet me. We had a nice lunch and spent five or six hours before he took a taxi back to Pune. (And there were times in college when we have shared a jhal mudi costing Rs. 10 because we had run out of cash!)

Anu and Chandra (technically my mother's generation but more like friends/cousins to me) generously offered me a carte blanche to pursue whatever projects I wish to, without fretting about the monetary implications. Their gesture has inspired me to work even more towards a larger cause, especially in the fields of culture, literature, music, and education, which are of common interest to us.

Prof. L V Shanthakumari has been a mentor-guru-adopted grandmother to me and many other friends. Earlier this year, she was visiting her younger son Sri Niranjana who lives across the town from her, in faraway Marathahalli. Our ancestral house in Halasuru is almost the mid-point between her house and her son's house, so I requested LVS madam to consider visiting us for lunch. She graciously agreed and visited us with Niranjana, who incidentally lived in the same neighbourhood many years earlier! My family and I were thrilled to host LVS madam and we spent a lovely afternoon together.

My cousin Arun was slated to visit India in August along with my aunt and uncle. I was planning to borrow my father's car so that I could take Arun around. Right at that time, my good friend Chandrashekhar told me, "I just bought a new car and there's the old one languishing in my place. Just take it and use it for as long as you want." Thanks to Chandru, I was able to drive around Arun and later had reliable transportation for myself, especially during some of the busy months of the year. After relying on public transport for more than a year, this came as a real boon.

My good friend Arjun Bharadwaj always teases me of excessively indulging in what he playfully dubs "Eating-Outing-Meeting." While I am an introvert by temperament, I often step out for these E-O-Ms for a dose of enrichment. Outside of my books and my music, I find nothing more enjoyable than a meaningful conversation with friends and savants.

It has been my great fortune to have come in contact with so many greats of our time—and in some cases, even dine with them and travel with them.

One of our Saturday morning meet-ups took place on Church Street with SRR taking us (Vighneshwar Bhat, Sandeep Balakrishna, Arjun Bharadwaj, and me) to Select Book Shop, which was started by a friend of his. Later he took us out to lunch and simply refused to let any of us pay.

Ambi (my uncle, Dr. Koti Sreekrishna) visited India earlier this year and even stayed with me for a few days. I had a great time with him, discussing everything from the ridiculous to the sublime—often through the course of a meal in a nearby restaurant. I also had the chance to drag two of my friends (Arjun and GS) to meet Ambi and his elder brother Kanna (my uncle, Sri K Srinivas) at their ancestral house. The conversations, mostly revolving around the the great epics of India, were memorable (with some of it secretly captured on video and clandestinely posted on Facebook by Ambi).

My cousin Arun visited India in August and stayed with me. It had been years since we had met and there was so much to talk about. It was really inspiring to see his focus and his ability to grasp new ideas. I introduced him to a bunch of my friends and we all had a memorable time. Cousin Anita could not visit and was sorely missed, but she had just had a baby (my second nephew, Jayanth).

Arjun and I visited Mysore to meet Dr. S L Bhyrappa, who graciously invited us to lunch with him. Following that, we proceeded to Pandavapura to meet Mr. Anke Gowda, who has the largest personal collection of books that I have seen (over 1 million books). We were thrilled to visit his library as he enthusiastically showed us around. He has been collecting books for some seven decades with his meagre salary, driven by intense passion and devotion to literature.

Through the course of the year, in addition to the regular meet-ups with my friends, gurus, and family, I had the opportunity to meet a host of interesting people: Sri Prafulla Ketkar (Chief Editor, Organiser), Sri Shivaswami (Bhagavad-gītā scholar), Dr. Manohar Shinde (Founder, Dharma Civilization Foundation), Dr. Shekhar Borgaonkar (my father's college classmate and old friend), Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran (musician-composer-educator), and the dedicated people who run Rashtrotthana Vidya Kendra at Hagaribommanahalli, among others.

It is a co-incidence that the year began with a trip to Ellora and just as 2023 came to an end, during the course of our Madhya Pradesh road-trip, the first destination was Ellora. It was wonderful to visit that puṇya-kṣetra twice in a calendar year.

In addition to visiting Solapur, Sambhajinagar, Pune, Mumbai, Karwar, and Chennai, I went to Valparai (Tamil Nadu) for our annual boys' trip, with more friends joining the fray:

I spent the last days of the year on the road: traversing 3,800+ kilometres (Bangalore-Ellora-Maheshwar-Indore-Ujjain-Vidisha/Sanchi-Udayapur-Khajuraho-Bedaghat-Bangalore) in nine days with five of my friends and a shoe-string budget.

Among the many highlights of the trip was visiting Ahalyabai Holkar Smarak at Maheshwar.

To see her humble dwelling and to contrast that with her unparalleled achievements was an inspiration. These are the real heroes of our land and it is a sin to forget them.

Sri C R Sathya, the grandson of Prof. A R Krishnasastri and a remarkable space scientist (and writer) in his own right died earlier this year. He had been a great support during the time I co-translated The Essential Mahabharata. Not many people know that the gentleman on the right side of this iconic photo by Henri Cartier-Bresson is C R Sathya:

A few other greats who breathed their last in 2023 include Sri Siddeshwar Swamiji; the great gamaki Sri Chandrashekar Kedilaya; Wayne Shorter, the legendary jazz saxophonist; Sri B K S Varma, the painter par excellence; and iconic filmmaker Sri K Viswanath. I had the great fortune of meeting and interacting with both B K S Varma and K Viswanath some years ago.

The changes around us end up affecting us in some way, directly or indirectly, unless of course we are really cut off and have isolated ourselves from society. In this vein, it might be instructive to broadly look at some of the events from 2023.

India has marched forward under the visionary leadership of Sri Narendra Modi, who has never failed to impress with his tireless striving for a better future.

India is now the most populous country with a host of internal problems, largely fuelled by predatory ideologies, be it the clashes between the Kuki and the Meitei or the Nuh violence or even the denigration of Sanātana-dharma, which is the most inclusive religio-philosophical system in the world. Despite this and some of the self-inflicted wounds to the economy, the country witnessed the manner in which challenges were masterfully met, be it the organisation of the spectacular G20 or the rescue of 41 miners trapped in the Uttarakashi tunnel, be it seamlessly shifting to the new parliament building or sending Chandrayaan III to the moon.

After the demonic attack that took place on October 7th, 2023, the world is slowly realising the danger of the bloodthirsty death cult masquerading as a religion. More and more countries are rejecting the pseudo-liberal ideologies of the left and are instead moving far right, which is also dangerous in its own way. Coupled with this, we are unsure of the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the future of humans. And somewhere amidst all this chaos, unknown men are quietly doing their work. And that brings me a great deal of peace.

Thanks for reading this far, and with this I wish you and your family a wonderful new year! I hope it will be filled with joy, good health, prosperity, and moments to cherish. May your dreams come true!

— Appendix

I wish to share some of the fantastic accomplishments of a few people in my circle. It is, as always, an ad hoc list that I have prepared on the spur of the moment. I might have missed out some but those that I have listed are certainly notable:

Brahmin Genocide is an important topic researched by Sri Balaji Mahalingam (who writes under the pseudonym Asi) that brings to the fore an injustice that has pervaded our society in the last couple of centuries and must be immediately rectified if Hinduism is to survive. The first edition of the book was sold out in just a few months and he is now working on the second edition.

The seventh century CE Sanskrit play Bhagavad-ajjukam was documented by Nirupama and Rajendra with support from Sudha Murty, Śatāvadhānī Dr. R Ganesh, Praveen D Rao, Arjun Bharadwaj, et al.—see the Introduction and the complete play (with subtitles).

Bhāratīya Kṣāttra Paramparā (Hindi translation by Prof. Dharmaraj Singh Vaghela) Earlier this year, when the book Kṣāttra was released, I gave a copy of the book to my uncle Prof. Vaghela. The very next day, he called me and said that it is an important book which must reach the Hindi heartland and offered to translate it into Hindi. Dr. Ganesh immediately gave his consent. In a matter of months, he finished the translation, which is now appearing on www.prekshaa.in as a series and will soon be published in book form.

My good friend and former colleague Arjun Bharadwaj has come out with two remarkable books this year: the first, titled Nayana-Savana (co-written with Śatāvadhānī Dr. R Ganesh), which is a creative appreciation of some of the major productions of the legendary Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam and the second, titled Indian Perspective of Truth and Beauty in Homer’s Epics, which is worthy of a D.Litt. no less.

S R Ramaswamy's latest work titled Sāhitya Sānnihitya is an anthology of book reviews and writings on literature.

Saṃskṛti is a reprint of a charming little book on culture with essays by littérateurs including Devudu Narasimha Shastri, A N Murthy Rao, A N Krishna Rao, Masti Venkatesha Iyengar, and C K Venkataramayya.

Prekshaa Pratishtana has brought out a lovely introductory video that summarises its vision and objectives. They continue to publish many books every year and maintain an ad-free online journal (www.prekshaa.in) with authentic content on Indian heritage for one and all.

My cousin Arun Prasad continues to do remarkable work with Ambuda, the online digital library for Sanskrit.

The best of Śatāvadhānī Dr. R Ganesh's writings in Kannada have been compiled in two volumes with the title Rāga-bhāratī.

Dr. G Sudesh Kumar, a close family friend, recently authored a coffee-table book titled History of Sri Parakala Mutt.

Gotta have some faith in the sound / (You got to give what you take)

Sorry it's Them again! Jerott/Danny post-canon (mid-90s ish) post-finally-getting-together fluffy, happy smut! Body positivity all the way for intersex Danny, who is into sensation play and who now has a boyfriend who knows how to give both good massages and good head. Jerott is just so happy to be there with someone who wants him and gets him, and if Danny decides to praise him along the way, well, he might just learn something about himself :')

Happy non-denominational smutmas to all my followers 🙃

thank you as ever @stripedroseandsketchpads for your enthusiasm, encouragement, researching, fannishness and for this excellent prompt:

holding hands making love prompt? 👀

---

Jerott closed his eyes and inhaled the sickly floral scent of the oil, rubbing it between his palms meditatively. "Jasmine isn't a traditional Ayurvedic oil, Danny," he said with a smile.

Danny made a sound of pleasure and amusement, and Jerott heard the bedcovers rustle as Danny's body shifted against them.

"This isn't an Ayurvedic massage, remember?" Danny purred.

Jerott let out a laugh of acknowledgement. He looked down and felt his heartbeat skip to a quicker signature. His lover was lying on their bed, naked from the wispy puff of strawberry blonde hair on top of their head to the painted toenails at the end of their feet. In Danny's eyes was something of the wry challenge that was their customary way with new experiences, but these days Jerott found he could also read the anticipation in Danny's mien: the pale, freckle-dusted skin was flushed red in patches. On Danny's cheeks and neck there were blotches of colour like poppies painted in aquarelle: they bloomed out from Danny's sternum, filling the valley between the soft rises of their breasts and colouring the tops of their thighs as though Jerott's hands had already manipulated that flesh as he intended to.

This was not an Ayurvedic massage. If it had been, Jerott wouldn't have been totally naked himself - his body's appreciative response to the sight of Danny's body wouldn't have been visible, and Danny wouldn't now be biting their plump bottom lip with rakish glee, eyeing him up in return.

Jerott ran his gaze over Danny again, feeling spoilt for choice, uncertain where to begin. He would have happily fallen to the bed and smothered Danny with his kisses, with his body, with the desperate, disorderly wandering of his hands - but he'd been the one to offer the massage when he'd seen the way his touch could make Danny shiver with unexpected, honest delight.

The techniques he'd learned came from the ashram at Pune. They'd been honed on a body he didn't care to think of - broader than Danny's, muscled and infused with the scent of ground spice and patchouli. Then he'd used his skills professionally on the ashram in Nevada - he'd seen all kinds of bodies with these hands, unknotting muscles, rebalancing energies and loosening purse strings as he worked on behalf of Rajneesh's great message.

For years afterwards, he'd done his best to forget the lessons of the ashrams - the cod psychology, the smug anti-conformism, shallow in the face of the leader's demands. The massages had seemed like just another trick thought up by Rajneesh, exploited by Geetesh, designed to win them rich backers. But when he'd finally returned to the Indian subcontinent on his own terms, when he'd reached the country of his father's birth, he'd let himself rediscover things that had existed - oblivious to the manipulative gloss put on them by one movement or another - for spans of time beyond the reckoning of someone as small and petty as Graham Reid Malett. What was one megalomaniac to such a deep-rooted, enduring culture? Jerott had seen his former master's power atomised in the face of an ancient and indifferent spirituality and realised he was free.

He drew a deep breath and sent thoughts of his past out of his mind. This wasn't an Ayurvedic massage - not like he'd given to clients at the Nevada ashram, not like he'd given to Peder and his friends in Denmark when he'd come back with a renewed confidence in himself. This was something new - between him and the person he was deeply, terrifyingly in love with.

Jerott climbed onto the bed and straddled Danny's hips and Danny whimpered in anticipation.

"Shh," Jerott murmured habitually, smirking down at Danny's torso, still working his hands together to warm them to the temperature of the oil.

Danny's hips twitched provocatively beneath Jerott's seat and he began by running a teasingly light touch up the centre of Danny's body, fingertips tracing the line of the chakras... No. Tracing the sensitive skin from Danny's navel up to their throat, out over their shoulders and arms. Jerott drew the pads of his fingers along Danny's skin, echoing the feeling of a silk blouse being pulled down and away from Danny's body, like he was opening up the layers of the person lying beneath him.

If he were doing an Ayurvedic massage he'd start at the head - so Jerott shifted his seat a little and rubbed his thumbs over Danny's hips instead, making circular motions, now soft, now increasing in pressure, thumbs now sliding inwards, following the line of the pelvis down, bringing heat and colour to the surface of Danny's skin.

He watched his own brown fingers work, the gloss of oil on them transferring to Danny's body. It was as though, beneath his touch, he was bringing each muscle and sinew to life - glowing and eager. He ran his hands over Danny's belly, feeling soft flesh yield, feeling the hardness of muscle beneath puppyish fat. He didn't tell Danny to relax - he didn't need to. His fingers furrowed the land of Danny's body, unpicking tension, even undoing Danny's tightly wound anticipation, freeing Danny from the control they were used to maintaining.

In answer, Danny sighed and arched their back a little against the bed as Jerott's hands worked up, his touch again feather light at first, caressing inwards around Danny's ribs, his thumbs tracing the undersides of Danny's flat breasts, gently building until the strokes of his digits squeezed as they circled, until Danny's nipples had become hardened points that Jerott's thumb-pads could pass over as softly as the shadow of something on the wing.

Danny moaned at the hint of touch and watched, open-mouthed, as Jerott's thumbs scudded over the pink peaks again.

Jerott circled his thumbs this time, applying a little more pressure and eliciting another sound of pleasure that made his own stomach flip and his cock start with interest. Helpfully, Danny rolled their hips up against him and Jerott let out a breathy laugh of appreciation.

He dipped his fingers in the cup of oil at the bedside again and ran his palms up the planes of Danny's pecs, reaching for Danny's shoulders with clever, squeezing caresses as he shifted and bowed down to lick and suck at the nipples he'd just been teasing with his thumbs. The jasmine oil didn't taste great, he'd be the first to admit, but what did it matter when he felt Danny's whole body shudder beneath him, and that witty tongue, normally so ready with a snappy remark, was reduced to supporting the gasps and moans of Danny's undoing.

Jerott's hands massaged Danny's shoulders, upper arms, shoulders again and neck, and Jerott felt Danny melt in his hold, whimpering some inarticulate command as Jerott's teeth grazed sensitive, puckered skin and his thumbs moved in patterns of pressure up and down the vulnerable contours of Danny's neck. Then he swapped his gestures, stroking down over Danny's chest, gripping each small breast and palming muscle and flesh as he leaned in to suck hard on Danny's earlobe.

Danny's voice slipped into a higher pitch and they shivered and moaned again beneath Jerott's mantling body. Jerott shifted his weight and nudged one knee between Danny's legs, drawing ferociously on the soft flesh of Danny's earlobe with his lips and tongue as he did and eliciting his own name as a desperate plea from Danny's throat.

"Mm?" Jerott answered, pausing to nuzzle kisses into the hot skin behind Danny's ear.

"Don't stop," Danny said in a strangled voice, so Jerott nudged Danny's head the other way on the pillow with his nose and took the second earlobe in his mouth as he worked his other leg between Danny's knees and rolled his hips and hard cock against Danny's body.

It was enough to break down another part of Danny's control: they could no longer lie beneath Jerott pretending to be a passive recipient of such devoted attention. Their hands came to Jerott's back, smoothing up his spine and pulling him close - and it was enough to remind Jerott that he was meant to be delivering a massage, not plunging straight into sex, no matter what his nerves seemed to demand.

He released Danny's ear and kissed Danny's mouth instead, and rubbed Danny's earlobes between his thumbs and forefingers, feeling the little specks of scar tissue where Danny's piercings were. He had to stop and refresh the oil on his hands again, and then he fingered the hot cartilage of Danny's ears and worked his touch slowly, meticulously - soft and then hard and then soft again - down Danny's oil-glistened body until his hands were at Danny's hips and he was left kneeling, poised between Danny's legs.

Danny's hands remained on his back, his shoulders and arms, until Jerott was too far away to reach, and then, reluctantly, they returned to the sheets, gripping and twisting the cotton each time Danny let out an appreciative sound.

Mostly, Danny's eyes were closed - it was easier that way to sink into the sensations of Jerott's touch, and Jerott didn't begrudge himself the opportunity to stare back openly at Danny's rose-gold lashes, to watch the way their nostrils flared as they breathed deeply through the pleasure, to note the severe line of their jaw, which wasn't usually visible but now, from the angle Jerott saw it, rose like a peak at the top of the bed as Danny's head pressed back into the pillow.

Jerott ran his hands lightly over the skin of Danny's thighs, down not halfway to Danny's knees and then back up again to the pale drifts of hip bones lying beneath fat. He swallowed and licked his lips, but made himself wait as he made Danny wait, moving his hands down - smoothing hairs so fine and sparse they were invisible - and up again - ruffling nerve endings and heightening the anticipation of his next stroke - down, smoothing, soft as silk, light as soap washing off Danny's body.

He continued the movement as he finally lowered his mouth to Danny's cock, taking the firm stub of tissue in his mouth and sucking, drawing his tongue up the base in broad strokes that covered over the line of scar tissue where some part of Danny had been sewn shut by a doctor desperate to recreate normality.

Fuck normality, Jerott thought with savage glee, grasping Danny's hips and flicking his tongue from side to side over the soft, silken texture held in his mouth.

He ran his hands down Danny's thighs again, his grip firmer this time, his thumbs caressing the marshmallow-white flesh on the inside of Danny's legs, rubbing in circular motions up to the apex of Danny's thighs, his digits competing with his own face for access to Danny's most sensitive areas.

Danny whimpered and then cursed in French and, to Jerott's delight, in Yiddish. He'd never made that happen before so he repeated what he'd done and Danny's pelvis arched off the bed, pushing back against Jerott's mouth.

Jerott sucked the nub of Danny's cock and then laughed into the damp, downy tuft of hair above it. "Vraiment bien, puce?"

"Vraiment," Danny said from between clenched teeth. "Now come up here, I have something for you."

Jerott cocked a black brow at the head on the pillow but didn't immediately obey. He let his thumbs repeat their massage of the inside of Danny's thighs and he met Danny's tousled expression with an arrogant smirk.

Danny groaned and their legs shivered under Jerott's touch.

"Come here..." they repeated, with a new edge of despair in their voice.

Jerott came slowly, his hands and mouth retracing their way up Danny's body, now guided and tugged at by Danny's impatient touch on his shoulders, back and arse.

When Jerott reached Danny's lips Danny squeezed his arse cheeks vindictively and pulled Jerott's body flush against theirs. Jerott let out a gasp inside Danny's mouth, rolled his hips desperately against Danny's body, and ran his palms down over Danny's nipples again.

Danny's fingers covered Jerott's, pressing his touch down on Danny's chest, and then Danny took Jerott's hands in theirs and sat up, pushing him back with insistent kisses until he was half kneeling, half sitting. Clasping Jerott's hands in theirs, Danny guided his touch around to the small of their back as they leaned, chest first, against Jerott.

"You have something for me, hm?" Jerott asked between kisses, speaking into the softness at the corner of Danny's lips.

"Yes," Danny smirked, their cheek curving beneath Jerott's mouth. They held Jerott's hands in place behind their back and shuffled closer, leaning into Jerott until Jerott shifted his legs out from under him and sat with them splayed to either side of Danny. Danny wasted no time in moving into the space between and wrapping their thighs tight around Jerott's hips.

"What is it?" Jerott tested Danny's grip gently, attempting to run his hands round Danny's waist only to find that his lover's tight hold arrested the movement, keeping him close in their embrace.

Danny pushed their body closer, closer to Jerott's until Jerott felt the unmistakeable demand to lie back and let Danny straddle him, as he had earlier straddled Danny.

He let himself sink down to the sheets and Danny allowed his hands to move around to rest on their hips. They looked down at Jerott with a regal air: chest puffed out, streaked and glistening with jasmine oil like it was war paint, eyelids low over a gaze sparkling with lust. Flushed red lips, a body drawn in indistinct outlines that were as remarkable as any work of art Jerott had seen - Jerott's cock twitched insistently, trapped as it was beneath Danny's warm arse cheeks.

Danny's smirk was devastating. "What do I have for you?"

They shuffled, one knee then the other, holding Jerott's hands to their hips, up Jerott's torso until they only needed to lift their legs over Jerott's arms and they'd be poised to sit on his face.

"Me, of course," Danny said in silken tones. The certainty, the pride and confidence in those words made a sound rise in Jerott's throat. He swallowed and licked his lips and ran his eyes over the body above his, hungry to taste Danny in his mouth again.

Danny beamed down at him and released his hands so that they could shift their legs and position Jerott's head between them.

Jerott groaned happily as Danny lowered themself to his mouth. He ran his freed hands up Danny's arse and lower back, rubbing and massaging flesh as he went until Danny's hands grasped his again.

Danny threaded their fingers through Jerott's and held his hands against their arse as they ground their body down against Jerott's open mouth.

When Danny did this it never felt suffocating or uncomfortable: Danny paid attention to the way Jerott responded and moaned encouragements that made Jerott's skin prickle. He could hold all of Danny's small cock in his mouth without his jaw aching or feeling like he was about to choke when Danny rolled their hips down. He could find his way around the rest of Danny's anatomy with his tongue, running it softly at first over places that could either be painfully sensitive or dulled to touch by old scar tissue - he worked carefully, like he would do with his hands during the massage - working out what felt good to his lover and what didn't.

And Danny was always happy to help him find the right spot, moving their body and delivering gasped instructions.

All it took was for Danny to breathe an honest "Oy...you're good at this," and Jerott felt his nipples harden and his hips squirm against the bed, his cock responding instantly to the praise. He made a grateful sound against Danny's body and Danny whined and rocked against his mouth.

They tightened their grip on Jerott's hands and then guided his right one away from their arse. Danny reached behind themself, arching above Jerott to draw Jerott's hand away from their body. Danny stretched back, pushing Jerott's fingers towards his cock, and Jerott felt how smooth his own hand was, softened by jasmine oil and hot from the use he'd put it to.

"Don't forget about yourself," Danny purred, looking directly into Jerott's eyes. They released the hand they'd guided to Jerott's cock and sat forward again, reaching down to gently sweep the hair off Jerott's face.

"Ok?" Danny checked. "I'm not smothering you?"

They clocked Jerott's mischievous expression immediately and let out a low laugh. "Careful how you answer that, doudou..."

Jerott, who had no interest in occupying his mouth with mere words when he had other means at his disposal, dipped his chin a little and sucked pointedly at the smooth, domed head of Danny's cock, pressung his tongue up against it.

Danny laughed shakily again and groaned. "...Good answer," they conceded, and Jerott knew that when they opened their eyes again and looked down at him they'd see the satisfaction, the smirk in his expression.

His arms were pinned beneath Danny's body still, but he didn't need to move much to jerk himself off, not when he was already this hard. His right hand moved rhythmically up and down his cock even as Danny held his left hand still, their fingers knotted together behind Danny's back.

Jerott didn't let any of it affect the attention he gave Danny - his own pleasure wasn't a distraction or a splitting of his goals, rather it was like singing while playing guitar, or even just using two hands on the one instrument to make the perfect music. He did what felt good to Danny, Danny told him how good it was, and Jerott's hand quickened with pride, his blood rushed with the thrill of knowing he was making Danny feel that way too.

It could take time and patience to make Danny come, and Jerott enjoyed the challenge - besides, even if Danny didn't get there, Jerott wanted to be certain he'd made them feel exquisite in any case. So long as he was occupied with Danny's pleasure, time stopped and pure sensation ruled: Danny's soft thighs squeezing his cheeks; the warm, wet air Jerott breathed that tasted of the mingling of their bodies; Danny's fingers gently combing through his hair, squeezing his hand tightly behind their back; the feeling of his cock against his palm, as eager for Danny's release as its own.

When his neck felt stiff he shifted and kissed the insides of Danny's thighs, applying pressure with his tongue or plunging his teeth into yielding flesh to leave bruises that made Danny yelp with delight.

Another exclamation in Yiddish - Jerott grinned and nipped Danny's leg playfully. He took another mouthful of skin and sucked, like he'd suck on Danny's cock, and Danny whimpered, their hips bucking, their arse cheeks clenching. French insults mingled with Yiddish; an agonised "hob rachmones!"; a litany of evocative terms that made heat gather in Jerott's groin, spoken as they were with such awe.

He was on the edge now, and he took Danny's cock in his mouth again in case they were too. He tasted their anticipation, and rubbed his tongue against the underside of the head, and as they said, "That's it, that's it, you're an artist!" he felt himself lose the vestiges of his own control as thought and sense and intent all suddenly rushed down to his groin and left the rest of his body flushed empty of all but a ringing pleasure.

Danny's unashamed cry harmonised with the singing of his nerves and Jerott gasped as he let his head fall back to the mattress, satiated and exhausted and fizzing with a vital glee he didn't think he'd felt in years.

Danny released his hand and climbed off him, and Jerott lay in a state of near shavasana, his eyes closed and a smile on his lips. He waited, knowing Danny was coming to him, which Danny did, stretching out alongside his body and stroking his hair back around his ear with the utmost tenderness. They kissed him slowly and deeply and Jerott murmured happily into it.

"You're a treasure, doudou," Danny said against his lips.

Jerott smiled and heard Danny tut immediately. "But don't let it go to that pretty head of yours. You'd be insufferable if you knew..."

Jerott blinked and looked at Danny in sleepy puzzlement, wondering why they'd stopped mid-sentence.

They were staring at him intently, thoughtfully, more seriously than he'd expected. Their lips were red and their cheeks blotched pink; their hair was a disordered, sweaty mess. Without make-up they still looked vulnerable and new to Jerott - beautiful but often wary, a warrior without their armour on.

"If I knew...?" Jerott prompted, lifting a heavy arm from the bed to stroke Danny's chin with his thumb.

Danny's lips moved, and a puckered, vexed smirk fought its way onto them. "You'd be insufferable if you knew how much I love you."

The words still made Jerott's body blush with sensation - instant heat, instant gratification making his skin prickle. He offered the bravest, lopsided grin he could. "Lucky I have you to keep me humble, hm?"

Danny smiled toothily and kissed him. Jerott accepted the insult that followed in all its fondness.

Luxury Apartments in Viman Nagar by NEON: Designed for the Modern Urban Lifestyle

Viman Nagar, a corner of Pune where the old meets the new, hums with life. The streets are alive with the clatter of footsteps and the murmur of voices. NEON has built homes here, not just structures of steel and glass, but places where life unfolds.

NEON’s luxury apartments rise tall, touching the sky. They stand in Viman Nagar like sentinels, watching over the city that never seems to sleep. These are not just buildings; they are homes crafted with care, designed for those who seek something more.

The Heartbeat of Viman Nagar

In Viman Nagar, every day is a new story. The airport is close, and planes draw lines across the sky. Markets burst with color, and the scent of spices hangs in the air. Cafes spill out onto the sidewalks, and laughter drifts from open windows. It’s a place where the world comes together, and it’s no wonder that people seek luxury apartments in Pune Viman Nagar.

NEON understood this when they laid the first brick. They saw a place where life thrived and wanted to be part of it. Their apartments are more than rooms and walls; they are part of the city’s fabric.

Homes Built with Purpose

NEON’s vision was clear: create homes that are both simple and profound. The architecture is clean, without unnecessary frills. Large windows invite the sun, and balconies offer a quiet place to watch the world go by.

Inside, the rooms are open and filled with light. The materials are honest—wood that feels warm underfoot and stone that stands firm. Every corner has been thought through, every detail considered.

Spaces that Breathe

The living rooms flow into dining areas, and the kitchens are crafted for real cooking. Here, one can imagine the smell of bread baking or the sizzle of a pan. The bedrooms are retreats, places where one can find rest. It’s all about balance and making sure that every space feels right.

Life Beyond the Threshold

Stepping outside the apartment doesn’t mean leaving comfort behind. NEON has ensured that the entire building feels like home.

A Place to Be Together

There are common areas where neighbours become friends. Maybe it’s over a cup of coffee in the morning or a quiet chat in the evening. These spaces are simple but welcoming, with seats that invite you to stay a while.

Keeping Well

The fitness centre is state-of-the-art, with weights to lift and treadmills to run on. It’s a place to keep the body strong. The rooftop pool isn’t just water in a basin; it’s a place where the sky meets the water, and one can float and forget the world for a time.

Embracing the Present

NEON knows that the world moves fast. They’ve included just enough technology to make life easier without making it complicated.

Thoughtful Details

Lights adjust when the sun goes down, and the temperature stays just right. Security is there but doesn’t intrude. It’s about making life smooth, letting people focus on living rather than managing gadgets.

Respecting the Earth

Building in a city doesn’t mean forgetting about nature. NEON has made choices that honor the environment.

Gentle Footprints

Rainwater is saved, and solar panels gather the sun’s energy. Waste is handled with care, not just tossed aside. Gardens are tended, green spaces where birds might rest and children might play.

An Investment in Life

Choosing to live here is about more than owning property. It’s about being part of something larger.

Growing Together

The value of these luxury apartments in Pune Viman Nagar isn’t just in bricks and mortar. It’s in the life that surrounds them. The city grows, and with it, the worth of these homes.

Breaking the Cycle: Effective Treatments for Teeth Clenching Habit.

Teeth clenching, also known as bruxism, is a common habit that affects many people, often unconsciously. This condition can lead to various dental and health issues, including tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. If you or someone you know is struggling with this habit, it’s essential to seek effective treatments to break the cycle and protect your oral health. Here’s a closer look at some of the best strategies to manage and treat teeth clenching.

Understanding Teeth Clenching

Teeth clenching typically occurs during sleep but can also happen during waking hours, especially in stressful situations. Factors such as anxiety, misaligned teeth, and sleep disorders can contribute to this habit. Visiting a qualified dentist in Pune can help you identify the underlying causes and create a tailored treatment plan.

1. Custom Night Guards

One of the most effective treatments for teeth clenching is the use of custom night guards. These dental appliances are designed to fit your mouth perfectly and are worn during sleep. They provide a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, preventing them from grinding against each other. A dental clinic in Viman Nagar can create a custom night guard tailored to your dental structure, ensuring comfort and effectiveness.

2. Stress Management Techniques

Since stress is a significant trigger for teeth clenching, incorporating stress management techniques into your daily routine can be beneficial. Practices such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises can help reduce anxiety and tension. Regular physical activity can also alleviate stress, contributing to better overall well-being.

3. Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help change the patterns of thought and behavior associated with teeth clenching. A therapist can work with you to identify triggers and develop coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety more effectively. This approach can be particularly useful for those whose clenching habits stem from emotional issues.

4. Dental Corrections

If your teeth are misaligned, this could be contributing to your clenching habit. Your dentist may recommend orthodontic treatments to realign your teeth, which can alleviate the pressure and discomfort associated with clenching. Additionally, if you're considering restorative treatments, it’s essential to discuss how dental implants might fit into your overall treatment plan. While the dental implant cost in Pune can vary, many find it a worthwhile investment for long-term oral health.

5. Medication

In some cases, your dentist may prescribe medications to help reduce muscle tension or manage anxiety. Muscle relaxants can be effective for short-term use, while anti-anxiety medications may assist those whose clenching is stress-related. Always consult with your healthcare provider to find the right approach for your situation.

6. Lifestyle Changes

Making simple lifestyle changes can also help mitigate teeth clenching. Limiting caffeine and alcohol intake, especially before bedtime, can reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Establishing a calming bedtime routine can further enhance relaxation and decrease the likelihood of clenching during sleep.

Conclusion

Breaking the cycle of teeth clenching is crucial for maintaining good oral health and overall well-being. By understanding the causes and exploring effective treatments, you can take significant steps toward relief. Whether you choose custom night guards, stress management techniques, or behavioral therapy, working with a dentist in Pune can help you develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs. Don’t let teeth clenching impact your quality of life—take action today for a healthier, more comfortable smile!

Aligners Treatment in Koregaon Park, Pune: A Guide to Your Perfect Smile

Aligners have revolutionized orthodontic treatment, offering a comfortable, convenient, and nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. For those in Koregaon Park, Pune, aligners are an ideal choice, catering to the aesthetic and functional needs of people seeking orthodontic care in a vibrant neighborhood known for its health and wellness services. Here’s a detailed guide to understanding aligner treatment, its benefits, process, and why choosing a clinic in Koregaon Park could be your best decision.

What Are Aligners?

Aligners are a type of orthodontic appliance designed to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Made from medical-grade plastic, these clear aligners are custom-made to fit over your teeth snugly. Each set of aligners exerts a gentle force on specific teeth, guiding them into their desired positions over time. Patients typically receive a series of aligners, with each set intended to be worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series.

Benefits of Aligners

Aligners come with several advantages, making them popular among both teens and adults:

Discreet Appearance: The transparent material makes them nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.

Comfort: Aligners are custom-made and do not have metal brackets or wires, so there is less irritation to the gums and cheeks.

Convenience: Unlike braces, aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without restrictions.

Effective Results: Aligners are highly effective in treating a variety of dental issues, including mild to moderate misalignment, gaps, and even some complex cases with the right planning.

The Aligner Treatment Process in Koregaon Park, Pune

If you are considering aligner treatment in Koregaon Park, here is a step-by-step overview of what you can expect:

Initial Consultation: Most aligner treatment centers in Koregaon Park offer an initial consultation to assess your dental alignment and discuss your goals. This consultation typically includes a thorough examination, X-rays, and sometimes digital scans or impressions of your teeth.

Customized Treatment Plan: Using the latest dental technology, orthodontists create a 3D model of your teeth to map out the precise movements required for each tooth. The treatment plan outlines how long your treatment will take and the number of aligners you will need.

Aligner Fitting and Instructions: Once your custom aligners are ready, your orthodontist will fit the first set and give you specific instructions on wearing them. Aligners are generally worn for 20–22 hours per day, only to be removed while eating or brushing.

Progress Monitoring: Throughout the treatment, you will have periodic check-ups to monitor your progress and ensure the aligners are working as planned. Most orthodontists recommend visits every six to eight weeks.

Completion and Retention: Once the aligner treatment is complete, your orthodontist may provide a retainer to help maintain your new smile and prevent your teeth from shifting back.

Choosing Aligner Treatment in Koregaon Park, Pune

Koregaon Park is home to several high-quality dental and orthodontic clinics, making it an excellent location for aligner treatment. Clinics here are equipped with advanced technology and experienced orthodontists who specialize in aligners, ensuring precise, safe, and efficient treatment.

Many clinics in Koregaon Park also offer flexible payment plans and personalized treatment options to make aligner treatment accessible and affordable. Additionally, the neighborhood’s ambiance, filled with health-conscious businesses, spas, and wellness centers, enhances the treatment experience.

Final Thoughts

Aligner treatment in Koregaon Park, Pune, provides an optimal blend of convenience, aesthetics, and professionalism. With expert orthodontists and state-of-the-art facilities available locally, achieving your dream smile has never been easier. If you’re considering a discreet, comfortable way to align your teeth, Koregaon Park offers some of the best aligner treatment options to help you confidently smile brighter.

For residents of Dhankawadi, Pune, Dr. Umesh Tambe at Royal Dental Care Clinic stands out as a highly respected and experienced dental professional. Specializing in root canal treatment and dental implants, Dr. Tambe has established a reputation for delivering quality care with a patient focused approach.

Understanding Root Canal Treatment

For reliable root canal treatment in Dhankawadi, Dr. Umesh Tambe at Royal Dental Care Clinic is the trusted specialist . With extensive experience, Dr. Tambe provides treatment that is both thorough and gentle. Utilizing the latest techniques, he effectively cleans and restores damaged teeth, ensuring you stay pain-free while preserving your natural smile.

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a common dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. The treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth’s interior, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, and then sealing it to prevent further infection.

Why You Might Need a Root Canal

Tooth decay, cracks, chips, or trauma to the tooth can lead to an infection of the pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth. This infection can cause severe pain and, if left untreated, may lead to an abscess, bone loss, or even the loss of the tooth. Symptoms that might indicate the need for a root canal treatment include:

Persistent toothache

Sensitivity to hot or cold

Swollen or tender gums

Darkening of the tooth

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms in Dhankawadi, seeking prompt attention from Dr. Umesh Tambe at Royal Dental Care Clinic could save your tooth and alleviate pain.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer several advantages:

Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like natural teeth.

Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth.

Comfort and Convenience: Implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with removable dentures.

If you're considering dental implant in Dhankawadi, Dr. Umesh Tambe at Royal Dental Care Clinic provides expert care, ensuring that the procedure is tailored to meet your specific needs.

Why Choose Dr. Umesh Tambe at Royal Dental Care Clinic?

Dr. Umesh Tambe is not just a dentist; he is a dedicated professional committed to providing high-quality dental care to his patients. His approach is patient-centered, focusing on understanding each patient’s unique needs and delivering personalized treatment.
