MODI: A LEADER WHO LISTENS, LEARNS & LEAVES YOU IMPRESSED

Narrators recall PM Modi’s remarkable grasp, probing mind and personal warmth—traits that make every interaction feel both insightful and intimate

MODI JI PERSONALLY WROTE TO ME - Rivaba Jadeja, MLA, Gujarat

On the birthday of our daughter, I had sent Rs 11,000 to 101 girl children under the state’s flagship Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, just to raise awareness among people about the scheme. It is a landmark initiative that was personally envisaged and launched by Narendra Modi. It is a savings scheme for girl children, allowing parents to open accounts for daughters under 10 years of age at post offices and authorised banks, with the aim of securing their future.

As soon as Modi ji came to know about this small initiative of mine to support the lives of underprivileged children, he sent across to me a beautifully written letter appreciating my effort. For me, this gesture was truly special. It showed how closely he notices even the smallest efforts made at an individual level. This was a big boost to my morale and an inspiration to work further for the betterment and uplift of lives. It encouraged me to continue contributing in whatever little way I could.

Another thing that many people don’t know is Modi ji’s great knowledge of the Hindu calendar system. How many of today’s youth can even name the months of the Hindu calendar correctly? We all follow the Gregorian calendar, often forgetting our own traditional system. Youngsters today have to pause and think when we ask them to name the month or season corresponding to English months.

But Modi ji, whenever he writes anything or finds an occasion to mention or refer, uses the Hindu months prolifically. This shows his deep love and reverence for the ancient system, as well as his understanding of its value and the concept behind it. This is another of the unique attributes of Modi ji which we can all learn from and appreciate.

Modi ji has amazing grasping power and sharpness of mind - Kris Srikkanth, Former cricketer

Narendra Modi is so sharp and aware that he can take anyone by surprise and impress him with his knowledge and understanding. I had once met the PM, and my brother was along with me. My brother is into business and as soon as I introduced him to Modi ji, he immediately struck a rapport. I found that the PM was not only curious, but he also had a solid grasp of things and no matter what topic was discussed, he could take part in it with elan and ease.

As my brother told him about his salt business, the PM immediately asked him a series of questions, as to where he was getting his salt from, whether it was Gujarat salt or Tamil Nadu salt, how he was processing it, how it was being packaged etc. I was stunned at his gamut of information, his curiosity and his knack for knowing more. His questions were apt, relevant and deep, and they reflected not just interest but insight.

Normal people can talk of things that are in the realm of their respective field of expertise; like I can talk of cricket in the best details. But I have never seen a person who can tread any field of knowledge or profession and discuss it with equal comfort and confidence like Modi ji. Whether it is business, governance or social issues, he seems equally at home in every conversation.

That is his greatest quality, and second, there are no airs in him for his extraordinary ability. He is simplest to the core and meets you like an elder brother, a family member or a friend. Everything is at ease with him and he makes you feel at home. You are never scared or overwhelmed in his presence, and that is what makes the interaction truly memorable.

WHEN MODI JI SAID, ‘HE’S OUR BOY’ - Ravindra Jadeja, Cricketer

I first met Narendra Modi ji in 2010, when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. We had a match against South Africa in Ahmedabad, and the teams were lined up on the field for introductions just before the game began at Motera stadium. Modi ji arrived and went down the line, shaking hands with all the players. That was the first time I met him. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, our captain at the time, introduced me to him.

Modi ji smiled and said to Mahi bhai (Dhoni) in a light, jocular vein, “Take care of him… he’s our boy.” That simple line, spoken so casually but warmly, had a deep impact on me. Coming from someone in his position, and that too in front of my teammates, it made me feel incredibly proud and happy. It reflected not just warmth, but the genuine personal care he extends to people he meets, even in brief moments.

It is a moment I have never forgotten. That such an important and busy person like him could say something so thoughtful for someone like me not only shows his care and concern, but also his affability—the rare ability to make everyone feel like they belong. There was no formality or distance in his tone; it felt personal and sincere.

I was deeply moved and impressed by this small yet significant gesture of his, and I continue to treasure that experience as one of my fondest and most special memories.
