Anand Mahindra Is So Fed Up Of Webinars That He Wants To Replace This Word, Twitter Reacts
The coronavirus pandemic has forced all of us to stay at home as the government imposed lockdown in the country in order to keep a check on the virus transmission. The government ordered to close down the schools, colleges, cinema halls, gyms and all other places where mass gathering was possible.
While there were some who had nothing to do at home, several people had the option of working from home. Video-conferencing, online meetings, online trainings, webinars, etc. have become a part of the lives of those who are working from home.
However, the chairman of the Mahindra group, Anand Mahindra, does not seem to be much happy with webinar and wants this word to be banished from the dictionary despite the fact that it is quite new. Anand Mahindra received an invitation to attend a free webinar and all hells broke loose for him as he felt that he may have a serious meltdown.
This is what Anand Mahindra tweeted, “If I get one more invitation to a ‘webinar’ I might have a serious meltdown. Is it possible to petition for banishing this word from the dictionary even though it was a relatively recent entrant??”

Seriously sir. Infact now the fear of "webinar" is surpassing the fear of COVID. It will actually drive people comfortably switch back to offices.

Anand Mahindra is quite active on the social media networks and likes to share innovations and inventions that are taking place around the world. Some time ago, he tweeted about an autorickshaw driver who converted his vehicle as per the needs and guidelines of social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.
What is your take on webinar? Do you agree with Anand Mahindra over this? What word will you give for it?
