Mumbai:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi revealed his secret about his strength to handle life. PM Modi revealed that during his younger days, he would spend five days of Diwali every year in a jungle.

 The interview with PM Modi has been released in parts by the Facebook page. The previous two parts of the conversation saw PM revealing details about his childhood, how he grew up as a tea-seller, his interest in the BJP’s ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and other such things.

Sharing his experience Modi said "After coming back from the Himalayas, I knew that I wanted my life to be one that is lived in the service of others. Within a short span of returning, I left for Ahmedabad. It was my first brush with living in a big city - the pace of life was very different. I began my time there by occasionally helping my uncle at his canteen.” The Facebook post further read, “Eventually, I became a full time Pracharak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. There, I got the opportunity to interact with people from different walks of life and do a wide range of work. We all took turns to clean the RSS office, prepare tea and food for colleagues and clean utensils.”

Modi said that his decision to spend five days in  the jungle was his attempt at maintaining balance in his life.
