Risky vacant seats


RBI Governor, Dr Subbarao, describes himself as a shy, withdrawn and self-contained person. He prefers to keep to himself — especially on flights, and therefore requests a vacant seat next to him on such flights. But he has found that has its own downsides. Any one who thinks he can get the governor's ear for a few minutes ends up plonking on the vacant seat, and so the poor governor is forced to make conversation. Now, he prefers to have the next seat occupied and limit the damage. That's risk management for you.
