The chairman of the Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra, is possibly India's most Twitter-savvy business tycoon. It's not surprising to learn, then, that he can't go five minutes without his cellphone. And how did we stumble upon this tidbit of information? All thanks to a hilarious tweet he shared himself, of course.
On Sunday, Mr Mahindra took to Twitter to share an article about a man who pretended to be speech and hearing-impaired for 62 long years in order to "avoid listening to his wife".
Tongue firmly in cheek, Mr Mahindra captioned the photo: "Laughed non-stop for 5 mins on reading this. Asked my wife if I could have fooled her like this."
His wife Anuradha Mahindra's response takes the cake here.
According to Mr Mahindra, his wife immediately responded: "Really? Would you have lasted 5 mins without speaking into your cellphone?"
"Aah, the perils of having a smart wife!" Mr Mahindra concluded his post with mock despondency.
Laughed non-stop for 5 mins on reading this. Asked my wife if I could have fooled her like this. She didn't waste even a few seconds in replying: She said “Really? Would you have lasted 5 mins without speaking into your cellphone?” Aah, the perils of having a smart wife! pic.twitter.com/msWJLbB1ZD
