What a fall for brand IndiGo Used to be such an admired brand when they started. Now absolutely no regard for their customer. If even VIP customers feel like this, imagine how the rest are treated.

What the salad tried to do to us. The first ambition of any plant is to make itself uneatable. Long before anything clever walked on earth, plants settled on poisoning anything with a mouth. If you can’t run, you better taste terrible. The only way to stay alive was to face
