PM Modi clocks 20 meetings in his 65-hour stay in U.S.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ability to maintain a high level of energy while keeping a busy schedule on his trips abroad has drawn curious enquiries from admirers and sceptics alike. Official sources say that one of his tricks is to pack his hours with back-to-back engagements so that it doesn't let the mind think much about any fatigue.
As Mr. Modi returned from his three-day visit to the U.S. on September 26, sources said travelling around at a hectic pace while keeping tiredness at bay is not a new attribute of him.
"When he used to visit the U.S. in the 1990s, an airline at that time used to give a monthly travel pass at heavily discounted rates. To make the most of it, Modi would always travel in the night as this ensured that he could visit most places while not having to spend a penny on hotels. His night would be invariably spent at the airport and in the plane," a source said.
