Anand Mahindra is all set for a relaxed weekend.

On Friday, the Mahindra Group Chairman shared a short list of things on Twitter one must do virtually to make the world a better place.

In a picture post that quoted English writer Virginia Woolf, the 65-year-old urged people to explore the power of their mind. "Even as we are locked down, our minds can roam free," he wrote.


As the surge in Covid cases halts life in Maharashtra, the Mumbai-based businessman told his 8.4 million followers on the micro-blogging site that it's time to find rewarding books to read, watch programs that enhance knowledge, converse with people who challenge the mind, and travel virtually.


He also stressed, "Imagine a better world and take tiny steps towards making it a reality".

While Mahindra only shared only a part of the quote in his post, the complete quote reads - "Lock up your libraries if you like; but there's no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind."
