Good job, Sir!

Rohit Talwalkar on Tuesday took to twitter to grab the attention of Mahindra Group's Managing Director Anand Mahindra. And his one tweet made Mahindra shut down a fountain at the company's Mumbai office.

Given that large part of Maharashtra is struggling with drought and water scarcity, Talwalkar tweeted, "@anandmahindra fountain at mahindra towers at time of severe drought in Mah. Guess can be avoided."

A day later, Anand Mahindra promised to shut down the fountain as it "sends the wrong signal". He tweeted saying, "It's recirculated water & no wastage. But you're right, sends the wrong signal. We'll shut it down."

Later, twitteratis questioned his decision to shut down the fountain as it could help birds in the coming summer days while others praised him.
