Everything about the very honorable Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi is extraordinary. Everyday, he does something or the other that leaves us surprised and dumbstruck in a good way. Just take a look at a small incident that happened yesterday (Mar 02)
He made a surprise visit to the Parliament canteen and ate lunch with fellow parliamentarians (The MP canteen is not a place where prime ministers are seen often - or ever)
Mr Modi to surprised canteen staff - "Kuchh khana khila doh" (please give me some food)
Overwhelmed canteen-in-charge BL Purohit to the PM - "Anything special, Sir?"
The PM responded "“Jo hai wahi khilaiye...kuchh bhi. Alag se intejam karne ki jarurat nahi hai,” (I will eat whatever has been prepared for lunch. There is no need to make special arrangements)
The total bill for the food was Rs 29, PM Modi gave Rs 100. The staff returned Rs 71 as change.
Realising that it was a "Historic" occasion, Purohit (Canteen-in-charge) requested the PM to write in the 'Suggestion Book' which he presented to PM.
Modi wrote: "Ann data sukhi bhava" (Let the provider of food prosper) and signed it.

“I have been working here since 1980. I have never seen a serving PM come to this canteen as a customer,” an official said.
Another staff member said he was impressed by the fact that the PM did not ask for bottled water, but had the normal RO-purified water.
According to sources in Parliament, this was the first time any Prime Minister had lunch in the canteen as a customer. Rajiv Gandhi had once eaten in the canteen but not as Prime Minister.
