Humans of Bombay, the portal known to narrate stories of life became the medium of one such story that has never been looked beyond a political lens, that is of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Sharing excerpts from his childhood, he told stories of his parents, his first step into RSS at the age of 8 and his journey from a young boy to the Prime Minister of India today.

"This was the beginning of everything that I am today & I didn’t even know it at the time," he said.

Speaking of the 8 year old Narendra Modi reaching at this point in life, he said, "So if you ask the 8-year-old Narendra Modi, running around serving chai & cleaning his father’s tea stall, whether he even dared to dream about becoming the Prime Minister of India, his answer would be no. Never. It was too far to even think about."
