The businessman shared the photo after a video of his bandmate singing, surfaced on social media.

Throwback photos are always intriguing. And when they come from the treasured collection of public figures, they are even more interesting. On Thursday, businessman Anand Mahindra took to Twitter to share a throwback image from his school days in Ooty. Unlike the usual “class photo”, this image features Mr Mahindra playing the guitar. The 66-year-old shared the black-and-white photo and said that he was part of a school band named "The Blackjacks". The band, the image shows, featured two other students apart from Mr Mahindra. After seeing that video of Nick, I retrieved this pic from my school album. That's Nick at the mike. Always the singer. The twerp to his left is yours truly. Despite being a junior they let me join their band: ‘The Blackjacks.' Maybe Nick will remind me what song we were playing pic.twitter.com/eTOswGBi2J In my school in Ooty, we had two kids from a British family settled in India. Nicholas Horsburgh & his brother Michael had local nicknames: ‘Nagu & Muthu.' I had no idea HOW native Nick had become until a video of him singing a Malayalam song recently surfaced in social media! pic.twitter.com/VGgPApdq3m They were called Beatle Boots at that time…My prized possession… That's Amazing.There is good communication flow betw^n musicians.Nick sways his body a bit to keep rhythm.M(ozart)ahindrakept it cool with minimal movements/focused expressions.Seems has been taking music lessons,it shows in steady,confident way he plays.#boygenius "Viva Mozart" Like the style and swag of the guy with the ????. Black Jacks, there must be an interesting background story to that name. I'm waiting to see a tweet abt it someday… The swag and style unmissable! Looks like the Beatles sir. ???????????? Awesome! Near perfect diction. Here is the original songhttps://t.co/a1k3mZAuE5 The song would have been incomplete without the traditional "Indian style" head movement and he nailed it!Our True blue British Anna!! ???? In fact, it was one of his fellow band members, Nicholas Horsburgh, who served as inspiration for Mr Mahindra to unearth the vintage photo. A video of Mr Horsburgh, a man of British origin, singing a Malayalam song surfaced on social media, recently. Mr Mahindra shared the video on Twitter and said it inspired him to dig for the throwback pic.  Sharing the image of his band, Mr Mahindra said, “After seeing that video of Nick, I retrieved this pic from my school album. That's Nick at the mike. Always the singer. The twerp to his left is yours truly. Despite being a junior they let me join their band: ‘The Blackjacks.'  Maybe Nick will remind me what song we were playing.”
