You, as the distinguished guests, are invited to an academic extravaganza to ponder, cerebrate, deliberate and celebrate! On behalf of Neurological Society of India, we welcome you all to our Annual Festival of Neurosurgery: NSICON 2018 to the historical city of Jaipur. An extensive carte du jour has been planned to satisfy your academic appetite. You will be here to savor existing delicacies and evolve some new Diagnostic/Operative Cuisine. For starters we have the Pre-conference CME session. The main course will be the Annual Meeting of the Neurological Society of India with all its spice and flavour. The signature dish will be the One-day Symposium in collaboration with the AANS, which will be held just before the meeting. The dessert will be a range of cultural programs showcasing both ancient and modern India. Get a glimpse of Indian heritage and culture and experience the architecture of the pink city of Jaipur. This will also be a great opportunity to visit the masterpiece – The Taj Mahal that is a short drive from Jaipur. There is a desire in each of us to achieve surgical excellence and train others, a commitment to increase scientific understanding of the disorders we treat, and the child-like excitement of using new technological tools. The focus of our neurosurgical life is the patient, towards whose welfare and benefit we all neurosurgeons should strive. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an art, but a habit. – Aristotle Join us in the festivities with intellectual dynamism, scientific inquisitiveness and above all a feeling of togetherness and affectionate camaraderie. Jaipur is a great and historic city. Her innate hospitality will offer the Best taste of Indian Culture. Her avowed Cosmopolitanism will not allow you to miss home. You will have enough Food for Thought and vice versa. You are invited for a rare treat rich in Academic, Cultural and Social Flavor.
