The natural phenomena, where the blazing sun met the coolest moon was just a treat to watch for us as it was a decade’s last solar eclipse. Amongst all, Prime Narendra Modi showed a keen interest in trying to catch a look at the solar eclipse.
Like many Indians, I was enthusiastic about #solareclipse2019.
Unfortunately, I could not see the Sun due to cloud cover but I did catch glimpses of the eclipse in Kozhikode and other parts on live stream. Also enriched my knowledge on the subject by interacting with experts. pic.twitter.com/EI1dcIWRIz

On the other hand, netizens also claimed that Modi wearing expensive Maybach glasses was a false theory. The Prime Minister was apparently wearing a Red Buffalo Horn glasses which costs nearly 3K to 5K.

Another thing that went viral was Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s response showed to a tweet on his photo. The tweet, which did not tag the prime minister, captioned a photo of Modi saying, “This is becoming a meme”. Modi’s response was just as crisp and short. He said, “Most welcome…enjoy”
