Anand Mahindra has found a Monday muse in this Olympic-winning diver, wants every week to begin on a 'focussed & calm' note

For anyone who aims to drive change around them or within themselves, there are ample resources readily available. Billionaire industrialist Anand Mahindra who is known for his unique take on current affairs took to his Twitter account on Monday to share some interesting posts with his 9.8 million followers. In his first tweet of the day, Mahindra shared an old video of American Olympic diver, Greg Louganis as his source of Monday motivation.

Mahindra shared a one-minute clip where Louganis can be seen participating in the 1986 World Cup in Madrid. The billionaire who is impressed by the athlete said that at that moment Louganis was in his best form, almost ‘close to perfection’. He described the athlete’s entrance as precise just like a knife without any turbulence. Moreover, Mahindra went on to say that he was inspired to enter each week like the way Louganis did during his dive at the ‘86 World Cup - focussed, calm and with no unnecessary turbulence.

“Greg Louganis’ dive in the ‘86 WC, Madrid is seen as the best of all time; close to perfection. A knife-like entry, no splashes or turbulence. Inspires me to try & enter each week like that—focused, calm, no unnecessary turbulence. #MondayMotivation,” read Mahindra’s tweet.

The 62-year-old Olympic has won Gold medals at the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics both on springboard and platform. Louganis is credited as the only man and second diver in the history of Olympic Games to win successive dives at the events. He is referred to as the ‘greatest American diver’. Along with his illustrious career as a world-renowned diver, Louganis is also a gay rights activist.

Meanwhile, Mahindra also shared another tweet to amuse his followers. In his subsequent tweet of the day, Mahindra shared a video of a cricket match once broadcasted on Doordarshan. The short clip which is viral, shows a grainy video with poor video transmission that gives the impression as if players are moving in wavy form.

Mahindra recalled the days when adjusting antennae during cricket matches was a norm in Indian households. He said that the tweet was shared by his friend. The billionaire in his characteristic sarcasm said that either it was an antennae issue or the cricketers were great dancers too.
He retweeted the same tweet yet again, this time saying that the video needed an appropriate background music to synch with the hilarious movements on screen.
