Narendra Modi has turned out to be a world famous celebrity and possibly one of the most famous leaders in the history of this world. However, his journey wasn't a walk in a garden of roses. Everyone knows that his childhood was spent being inspired by leaders while working at a tea stall.

The tea stall still exists at the Vadnagar station in Gujarat. So, to glorify Modi's stellar hard work and success the government has now converted it into a tourist spot. “Converting the stall into a tourist spot is part of a larger project of putting Modi's birthplace, Vadnagar in Mehsana district, on the world tourism map," said Mahesh Sharma, Union culture minister. "Apart from being the birthplace of our PM, Vadnagar is an important historical centre," Sharma said. "It has the famous Sharmishta Lake and a step-well. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) had recently found the remains of a Buddhist monastery during an excavation, which still continues”, he added.
