How did you become Modi fan?
Once when I was in school, I was playing for the school cricket team. I was number 9 batsman and we needed some 10 odd runs off the last 2 overs. There were some 50-60 supporters who were cheering for the number 8 and 9 batsman.We won the match thanks to a bye that went to the boundary but the pressure of people cheering and team depending you was just too much to handle.Even now I feel the pressure when there is a risk of letting the team down.Now multiply it by few crores and with people only repeating your name in all the rallies across India for last 5yrs. Whole national campaign and state elex being fought on your name. Every small thing analysed 10x times and every slip of tongue scrutinized over and over again. And then bring the physical fatigue into it and scores of backstabbers around you.Modi is one hell of a person to absorb this kind of pressure 24X7X365X5.PS: Not sure how many of you agree with it but I feel he is getting exhausted these days in his speech. Probably the age has started to take its toll I feeel proud to be a Modi fan
