Birthday Special: Rare pics of Narendra Modi, India's 15th Prime Minister

New Delhi: Narendra Modi, the man who used to sell tea at Vadnagar Railway station in Gujarat,has taken over as the 15th Prime Minister of India.For the first time in last 30 years, the Indian


Modi was born in an OBC family of grocers in Vadnagar of Gujarat. Modi wanted to become a sanyasi when he was a child.

In fact, he was always fascinated with Sadhus, different forms of worship and meditation. He ran away from home after completing his school education.

He visited many places including Ramkrishna Ashram of Belur in West Bengal. Finally, he reached Himalayas and wandered aimlessly and stayed with unknown but yogic Sadhus for months.

After two years of wandering in Himalayas without money and with two pairs of clothes, he suddenly decided to give up ‘Sanyas' life and returned home.

Narendra Modi adores his mother and never forgets to take her blessings whenever he undertakes any new initiative- political or otherwise. Even today he went to meet his mother after it became clear that Modi is going to be the next Prime Minister.

In fact, she is his only closest relation. He has got all traditional virtues of an Indian man.

He  is a teetotaler. He doesn't drink, doesn't smoke. He is a complete vegetarian. In nut-shell, he is miles away from even minor vices. Women all over India and cutting over age bracket adore Modi.

In his home state, he is seen as a sex symbol among women. A close look at his public meetings makes it abundantly clear that women outnumber men among attendees. Analysts say this is mainly because of his emperor like image exuding absolute power and authority.
