I Don’t Enjoy Drawing A Line On Butter, I Do It On A Stone: PM Modi In Tokyo
Mumbai: During his interaction with the Indian community in Tokyo, PM Narendra Modi said the values he has imbibed in his life helped him develop a tough resolve to face life’s challenges.
“Mujhe makhan par lakeer karne mein maza nahi aata hain, main patthar par lakeer karta hoon,” the Prime Minister said. This Hindi quote used by PM Modi can be roughly translated as, “I do not enjoy drawing a line on butter, I enjoy drawing a line on stone.”

Noting that India is optimistic about a technology-based and talent-based future as it is proud of its achievements in the past, PM Modi on Monday recalled Swami Vivekananda’s admiration for Japan and said that Japanese youth should visit India at least once.
Addressing an Indian community event here, he said that today people-led governance in India is continuously increasing people’s faith in democracy.
PM Modi said that Swami Vivekananda is influenced by Japan and had suggested that the youth of India should visit the country at least once in their lives.
“Taking this goodwill forward, I would like the youth of Japan to come to India at least once in their lives,” said the Prime Minister.
“We Indians get attached to our ‘karmbhoomi’ with all our hearts but the love for our ‘matribhoomi’ never fades away. We cannot stay away from our motherland. This is one of our biggest strengths,” PM Modi said.
He said that today the people-led government in India is working in the true sense.
“This model of governance is making distribution efficient. This is the biggest reason for the ever-increasing faith of the people in democracy. Today India takes as much pride in its past as it is hopeful of a technology-based, science-based, innovation-based and talent-led future,” PM Modi said.
Meanwhile, a member of the Indian diaspora said after an interaction with PM Modi in Tokyo, “I am wearing a Maharashtrian turban called pheta today, which is usually worn in celebrations, as Modi Ji will like seeing us in our culture, considering how he promotes Hinduism and his culture in the world.”
