Industrialist Anand Mahindra, known for his active Twitter presence, shares interesting posts with his followers. From humorous anecdotes to insightful observations, his tweets spark conversations and resonate with his followers. The businessman recently took to Twitter to share a post about why he thinks that surahi trumps over the fridge. While many agreed with him, saying that surahi is more sustainable than a fridge, others disagreed, noting that his post is impractical.
“Frankly, the Surahi is also superior from the point of view of design & aesthetics. In a world increasingly preoccupied with being planet-positive, the humble Surahi could become a premium lifestyle accessory,” reads the caption of the post shared by Ananad Mahindra on Twitter.
The picture shared by Anand Mahindra compares surahi and fridge. The picture highlights the merits of surahi, which comes at a mere cost of ₹200, is portable and is low on maintenance. The fridge, on the other hand, comes with a higher price tag of over ₹10,000, consumes electricity and requires high maintenance. The post adds a touch of humour by mentioning how even singer Arijit Singh has sung a song about the surahi but not about the fridge. This comparison has sparked discussions online.

Here’s how people reacted to Anand Mahindra’s tweet:
“Surahi is only for storing water. Refrigerators have multiple functions. Those who have a refrigerator also have Surahi as it enhances the taste of water and also keeps it cool during summer. We can not compare both, sir,” posted an individual. Another added, “I believe that with the growing interest in sustainability, I could definitely see the Surahi becoming a must-have item for anyone looking to make a stylish yet eco-conscious statement. Why settle for a basic water bottle/ Fridge when you could have a Surahi?” “Last comparison seems to make it a decider!!” expressed a third. A fourth commented, “Thank you. I have been using Surahi water every summer season to get naturally chilled water with extra addition in it, a copper pot and a mogra flower daily. This enhanced my satisfaction. None of my family drinks fridge water….”
