1. When one of Anand Mahindra's fans asked him for Thar on his birthday, Mahindra's reply left everyone in splits. He educated the user with a new word while politely declining his request.

2. When the Twitter acquisition saga was at its peak with Elon Musk trying to wiggle out of the deal, Anand Mahindra shared his opinion on the drama and mocked the Tesla CEO and Twitter in his own style by referencing an Indian train.

If Elon was traveling on an Indian train, the conductor would label him a “TT” Ticketless Traveler. But TT could now also become a term for any headline grabbing bid that implodes: A Twitter Tease. https://t.co/Pn8ikF4NxF

3. When national badminton player Chirag Shetty sneakily enquired about his new car, Mahindra didn’t waste the opportunity to joke about it.

Chirag wrote, “I’ve booked an XUV700 recently. I hope I can get it soon!”

To which Mahindra replied, “By the way, I have ordered one for my wife and I'm Still in Q.”

Since that makes the XUV7OO the Choice Of Champions we will have to work extra hard to get it to you ASAP. @vijaynakra I hope you see this! (By the way, I’ve ordered one for my wife & I’m still in Q! ) Sadly, the global supply chain disruptions are plaguing all car companies) https://t.co/q4sYqq1XR8

6. One of his funniest tweets was the graffiti of former California Governor and Austrian-American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The art showcased a pumped-up Schwarzenegger with text that had a desi twist.

This is the ‘Great Indian Funnel.’ We adopt everything and everyone & give them Indian Avatars! हम पूरी दुनिया को अपनाते हैं. (And I wonder why I used to try so hard to pronounce ‘Schwarzenegger’ when I could have just called him Mr. Subhashnagar..) pic.twitter.com/zqOZN05k2N

One of his funniest posts from the wonder box was a video of NRIs and foreigners doing garba to celebrate the victory of Narendra Modi. Mahindra tipped it as reverse colonisation and asked where he could get garba lessons.

In my #whatsappwonderbox. Apparently, celebratory Garba in London after PM Modi’s victory. Loved the uninhibited cultural ‘colonisation’ in reverse! And time now for me to brush up my garba steps. Please recommend a good YouTube video for lessons! pic.twitter.com/jvmCz5bjhm

So I see that creating a new Video conference dress code is a global obsession. I’m going to ship this gentleman a lungi, so that he can complete his outfit by wearing it under his ‘instant suit.’ 😊 #whatsappwonderbox pic.twitter.com/pMWB7DYBV9

A message to our auto styling team: Before you decide to delete a rear-mounted spare wheel on any of our vehicles, please do keep some unique & unpredictable customer applications in mind!! pic.twitter.com/seSHxTci4L
