Businessman Anand Mahindra took to Twitter on Sunday to share another installment of his well-known caption contests. This time, Mr Mahindra, 64, shared an image that left Twitter equal parts confused and amused. The pic shows a man cycling on a road with a small caravan home attached to his bike. His portable accommodation seems to be attracting curious glances from passersby.
"Since many are practising 'social distancing' it's a good time for my Caption Competition. As always, the prize is a Mahindra collectible: a mini, scale model of a Mahindra vehicle," wrote Mr Mahindra while sharing the image. He also announced that there would be a prize each for the best captions in Hindi and English.

Since being shared online, the photograph has collected over 8,000 'likes' and nearly as many responses.
The pic appeared on Mr Mahindra's timeline as more and more people move towards working from home and practicing social distancing amid coronavirus fears. Naturally, a lot of the captions centered around that.

The phrase "ghar chalana" or running a household also got a whole new meaning.

Anand Mahindra often throws open caption competitions for his 7.4 million Twitter followers. The pictures for these competitions are always intriguing - ranging from oversized shoes to funny milestones on the road. In September last year, it was a picture of an 'upside down' bus that had caught his attention.
