'Are you an NRI?' Anand Mahindra says his heart resides in India, Internet is infinitely charmed

No matter where you go there will always be a special place in your heart for your motherland. Industrialist Anand Mahindra, who is known for his insightful and motivational tweets, was recently asked if he was an NRI. And, his response has won the internet.

Anand Mahindra shared a post on July 4 that showcased the beauty of the Manhattan skyline. “Manhattan 4th of July Skyline,” captioned the industrialist while sharing the pictures on his Twitter. The billionaire had also shared a video that showed the celebrations around the city in the same thread.

At the same time, one of the followers of the business tycoon asked if he was an NRI. The 67-year-old responded to the question with his characteristic humour. The businessman said that he was visiting his family in New York and that he was an HRI which according to him is ‘Heart (always) resident in India.’


“Just visiting family in New York. So am an HRI. Heart (always) resident in India…” tweeted the Mahindra.
According to the post, Mahindra was in the US, when the country was celebrating July 4th - the Independence Day of the United States.

Earlier this week, Mahindra’s Twitter interaction with RPG Group chairman Harsh Goenka went viral. Goenka had tweeted a video to highlight the significance of practising gratitude and being kind to one’s ageing parents. The two-minute clip highlighted the virtues of sacrifice and selflessness through a parable of a conversation between a pencil and an eraser.

Mahindra retweeted Goenka’s tweet with his unique perspective. The 67-year-old began by admitting that it was a poignant message that resonated with him and other elderly parents. He added that there were many children in the world who had to spend much of their lives erasing the mistakes and missteps of their parents.

“A very poignant message that naturally resonates with us elderly parents. But it also occurred to me, Harsh, that often, many children in the world have to spend much of their lives erasing the mistakes & missteps of their parents!” read Mahindra’s tweet.
