Industrialist Anand Mahindra, shared a video on his Twitter account, drawing some laughs from his followers.
He shared a TikTok video in which a man is seen sitting outside a room with a lock tied to a rope. The lock and the rope are hanging from the metal latch of the door. The man proceeds to pull the lock up and down. When asked what he is up to, the man is heard saying “lock-down”.
Mr. Mahindra said, “The joke, which was a play on the lockdown imposed in states across the country due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, was a silly yet effective one.”
He praised the ability of people to find reasons to laugh even in tough times.
This is the silliest kind of joke possible—but I’m still glad that as a nation we have our sense of humour intact. And frankly, this is the perfect time to replay this when every state leader is trying to figure out how much to lower that lock! pic.twitter.com/jj1sDYGHZ1

Even sillier, sinister, evil, horrific and inhuman joke. PMC Depositors being killed with no access to their own money in a Bank. Few suicides. PMC Bank has been in a lock down from Sep 2019, way before the world even knew of Corona. India can play cruel jokes on its citizens

With OTT platform, humour is all about abusive language and lot of violence. People should understand that we still enjoy basic jokes, we don't need the rough language to laugh.

Sense of humour matters sir! And to be frank, we as citizens have to play our role better! We can’t recklessly move around like we did last time when lockdowns were removed
