New Delhi [India], Mar 9 (ANI): Surprise, elation and inspiration were some of the emotions expressed by women, who were followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's personal Twitter handle @NarendraModi on the occasion of #InternationalWomen'sDay.

On the evening of March 8, women from various walks of life, including journalists, social workers and commentators, who have an active timeline on the micro-blogging site, found PM Modi's verified handle in their notifications as one of their followers.
