I flew @lufthansa today from BLR to FRA. To my dismay, the seat control was completely broken. I could either sit straight or lie flat! The cabin crew were very helpful as they had to manually move the seats! Hope @lufthansa takes care of these irritants.

In Mangaluru for a wedding and hopped into an auto. The driver asks where you want to go after you sit and also gives back INR 5 change back. What a pleasure. I wish rest of cities in India follows this.

The loss due to rain is colossal and unfortunate. More important for the industry to work with the govt and hold it accountable. The govt has extended its arm to work with industry. Lets work in ensuring brand #Bengaluru is not tarnished. @drashwathcn @TVMohandasPai @prashanthp
