Modi takes Japan by surprise, plays traditional drums

Tokyo, Sept 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued to charm Japan on Tuesday when he turned into a drummer !

The Indian PM took everyone by surprise when he played a traditional Taiko drum enthusiastically at the launch of Tata Consultancy Services's Technology and Cultural Academy.

Last day, Modi signed a number of deals with Japanese PM Shinzo Abe.

It was TCS CEO N Chandrasekaran who invited Modi to try his hand at playing the traditional drums after the professional drummers had finished. The Indian PM didn't disappoint anyone - He played the drums with ease, at a fast beat.

Modi had a few words of advice for the TCS trainees - "You will learn as much outside your rooms as you will learn inside them."

I have a suggestion also- if you stay in India do not remain in TCS rooms daily. Take time out and travel across India: PM @narendramodi

"If you stay in India do not remain in TCS rooms daily. Take time out and travel across India," said Modi, according to a PMO tweet.

It is known that later today, Modi will visit Japanese Emperor Akihito and deliver the keynote address at a business seminar.
