Aravind Srinivas took to X to share a picture that shows him dressed in a black t-shirt, denims and dark sunglasses, with a silver chain around his neck. The get-up was instantly reminiscent of Mark Zuckerberg’s chosen daily-wear.

Halloween, celebrated on October 31st, is a holiday with origins tracing back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Today, however, it has evolved into a festive occasion, especially in the United States and Canada.
To celebrate Halloween, people often dress up for costume parties while children go trick-or-treating. Other Halloween traditions include carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns and putting up spooky decorations.
