Memoirs of travelling in a enormous blob of flying shit

I have just returned from my very short visit to Berlin and London. It was a 5 day trip. I think this trip has given me enough ammunition to write a post on this blog which was particularly lacking in quality posts for past few months. As always I will be bitching a lot since I seldom like things which I get.
So lets start with the airlines- Lufthansa. I have never flown in any other airlines than Lufthansa for international travel and yet my loathing for them increases everytime I fly by them. But this was a new low they have acheived this time. I will never ever fly Lufthansa again. Lufthansa is the bloody modern reincarnation of concentration camps. Before people start throwing stones at this blog because they are quite sensitive over concentration camps I must say I am talking in literal terms. So to elaborate, they have high concentration of passengers in planes which are certainly not built to carry so many people. Hence concentration camps (Urghhhh!!!)

Lufthansa have few things which are their weapons to establish their secret ambition to rule the world :-

1) Heavily congested seats: You are certain to get an elbow on your nose while the big person next to you is adjusting himself or may be picking up fork to eat the pile of shit that Lufthansa provides. You know in football thats a red card offence.

2) Pathetic food: I only eat vegetarian food so I can't comment on non-veg meals provided but the "Indian-veg food" is really a random collection of north indian food items. For example - "Matar Paneer" and "aloo gobhi" with rice or Kulcha with aloo jeera. In addition they gave me butter and soya sauce. Somebody please tell me how in this world these things go together. I must say this is very good compared to meals they give in their Non-India bound flights(Cheese slice with brown bun Or simply nothing if you are a vegetarian).

3) Movies :- Storm-breaker, Vivah, and another movie which was about a teenage girl and her love for a horse despite her family opposing it. Why did they even bother to show these movies. All of these are fucking tortures, just look at box-office success of these movies. I can think of only one reason to show these movies:- May be they are in agreement with an Indian anti-social group who are paying them loads of money to show these movies.

One may sometime come across good people from on-board staff I guess. But there are also some chances that you encounter not so nice brute and compelled to say to him/her "Please I have no demands, Sir. Just let me board off this plane safely."

Anyways I think if I go any further and by chance any Lufthansa people see this they are going to sue me.
