Icici prudential health saver plan - Health card

The lady ended the call with "Congratulations Sir!. Maybe we can contact after baby is delivered."

A few days back I had chance visit to ICICI bank branch in Jayanagar to deposit money on behalf of Art of living foundation. I was beyond their time limits but the manager and the staff cooperated and considered my request and served me well.
There I enquired about the coverage of maternity in any of their health plan. The lady across the counter who was done for the day and was helping out the other guy who was serving my request said she could help. She went to few places within the branch and placed a call on her mobile phone to their health agent who had left for the day. He patiently answered my queries.
Yesterday, I got a call from one of their agent (from number starting with std code 040) in chaste Hindi. He was putting ji after my name very frequently. He considerately explained the benefits of health card. He did not mention the word insurance till I prodded him but went along explaining with his routine pitch.
Today I got another call from Jayanagar 3rd block branch of ICICI from another person who quoted the past reference of Richa and explained the coverage of Maternity in their health saver plan through the market linked investment that they have.
The product provides certain percentage of fund that can be claimed under maternity hospitalization. Say you have a plan of Rs 15K then 25% of that goes under direct medical coverage and 75% goes under investment portfolio.
You will need a maturity period of atleast three years for funds to built up and then from third year onwards you can start claiming for maternity hospitalization too. This seems to be unique offering from them.
If a pregnant lady is more than three months into pregnancy then she cannot be covered under plan immediately. You have to wait after delivery for both mother and child to join plan. You can obtain the benefits after 30 days from coverage start time. The bills spent this year can be claimed in the third year as they have a validity period of three years.
Comment below if somebody else is offering a similar product.

Success is exchange of energy

The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

तुम दीन नहीं हो - live ashtavakra commentary by Sri Sri Ravishankar ji

तुम वही हो. तुम सूर्य कि किरण नहीं, तुम उस किरण का विस्तार हो. तुम सूर्य हो.  जिस प्रकार सूर्ये अपनी किरणों को हर खिड़की के माध्यम से हर घर मैं भेजता है, उसी प्रकार परमात्मा अपनी पूर्णता को छोटी छोटी आत्मायों मैं भेजता है.  यह बात दूसरी है कि जब आत्मा अपने पुर मैं वास करने लगती है, अपने शरीर रुपी घर मैं रहने  लगती है तो भूल जाती है कि वह सिमित नहीं है, उसका विस्तार ही परमात्मा है.  लेकिन घर मैं घुसने के बाद आप कांच के टुकड़े मैं सूर्य का प्रतिबिम्ब देखते हो ओर अपने आप को सिर्फ एक किरण मात्र समझने लगते हो. जरा बाहर झाँक कर भी देखो, सूर्य का अनुभव तो करो. तुम्हारे आस पास भी वही सूर्य का अंश है. तुम्हारे पड़ोस मैं भी वही सूर्य कि किरण है, तुम्हारे गाँव मैं जो रिश्तेदार हैं वहां भी वही सूर्ये है. सूर्य कोई भेद भाव नहीं करता. तुम क्यूं ऊँच- नींच मैं पड़े हो.  तुम्हारे दुःख का कारण  क्या है. तुम गुरु से तो मिले हो. तुमने गुरु को साक्षात् किया है. लेकिन तुम संपूर्णतः यह निश्चय नहीं कर पाए हो कि येही सत्य है. पूरे भरोसे कि कमी होने से ही दुःख होता है....

second day at school

The stomach did pain again and bu now she had learnt the art of unbuckling the belt. Fortunately the pain came up just as her father was opening the door. The mother came rushing and wanted to help but the strict father wanted her child to master the art of releasing the belt and walk the distance towards potty on her own. The child did not disappoint and fulfilled the fathers desire in aplomb. to school. They went to the car together. Poor father carrying the bag full of books and the daughter carrying the empty bag as they were hopeful that something would come back in it from school. As they were moving out of their apartment complex the father eyes turned to the side and saw a lady with more than usual broad smile. He wanted to be the good man and stopped the car. He was sliding down the side window and almost opened his mouth then he heard " Are you going to school? ". " Ofcourse, I was with my daughter in the back seat. Where else could I be heading? " The fat...
