Business tycoon Anand Mahindra recently took to Twitter to share an intriguing and thought-provoking video. The 17-second clip shows a hairdresser in London operating outside his salon in the wake of the ongoing pandemic. However, it is the caption of Mahindra which has left people wondering if COVID-19 has really brought the erstwhile British empire to a full circle.

The video clip, shot from inside a car, shows the vehicle pass a rather empty street in London. It further shows a hairdresser cutting the hair of a customer outside the salon so as to maintain a safe distance from other customers. It is the Indian tycoon who then compares the British hairdresser to Indian Barbers.

Writing that the coronavirus pandemic has brought the empire to a full circle, he points out how the once imperialist Britons have now adopted the style of Indian Barbers to operate on the roadside. Further in the caption, he also jokingly asks the Indian Barbers to sue them for violation of intellectual property.

In yet another hilarious post, Mahindra recently coined names of new diseases. Taking a dig at US rapper Kanye West, he named an all new 'disease' called 'Kanyenza', which according to Mahindra, causes its victims to 'hallucinate' and consider themselves great enough to run for Presidential elections. Reacting to the news that Kanye West is running for the post of the US President in the upcoming elections, Anand Mahindra said in a twisted manner that the rap artist was 'harbouring delusions of grandeur'
