Modi’s picture sporting a brown zip-up, red muffler and glasses while looking at the sun turned out to be perfect meme material for netizens.
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
Soon after, one of the users stated the obvious in the Tweet – “This is becoming a meme”. To a surprise, the post was retweeted by Modi and he even invited the user to enjoy.
Most welcome....enjoy :) https://t.co/uSFlDp0Ogm

While some netizens hailed the prime minister as Mr Cool, others channelled their creativity creating memes and comparing the picture with shots from Bollywood movies.
