'Surahi' Vs Fridge: Anand Mahindra’s Latest Post On Benefits Of 'Surahi' Sparks Debate Online
"Have been using this from last 16 years. Naturally cooled water. Water taste improves. No cough cold or other allergies. Have stopped consuming ice long time back. Highly recommended," wrote one user.
Industrialist Anand Mahindra uses social media on a regular basis and has over 10 million followers who enjoy his interesting, inspiring, and witty tweets, along with important life lessons. This time the business tycoon has taken to the microblogging site Twitter to compare the refrigerator with a “surahi” (a clay pot). The post has gone viral and sparked a debate online.
Along with sharing the picture, Mahindra also wrote a note and cast his vote for surahi. In the post he claimed that the earthen water dispenser is better because it is sustainable, portable, and is low maintenance.
"Frankly, the Surahi is also superior from the point of view of design and aesthetics. In a world increasingly preoccupied with being planet-positive, the humble Surahi could become a premium lifestyle accessory," read the caption of the post shared by Mahindra.

The tweet left the Twitter users divided on the issue. Since being shared the post has amassed close to 2 million views and several comments.
"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?," commented one user on the post.

"Sir the fridge is designed to store and save food for getting spoiled which in turn save man power spent on cooking, power, time, energy. So when you look at it holistically ROI is a lot better. Cooling water is a tiny act of what fridge is doing for us….," wrote a fourth.
