It has been a year of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government’s coming into power.
The fact couldn’t have been lost on most people who go through the newspaper every morning with a front-page advertisement by the government featuring in most dailies.
If the internet is your preferred mode of lapping up information though, the Prime Minister had a direct message (DM) for you on Twitter. A DM was sent out to each of his followers on the micro-blogging website who responded to this tweet from the PM’s handle.
Share your thoughts using #SaalEkShuruaatAnek & get a personal message from me! Looking forward to hearing from you. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) May 26, 2015
Each follower was sent a message in a language corresponding to the location of the person. Sections of the poliarised Twitter universe though got the chance to have a bit of fun at the anniversary celebrating-PM’s DM:

Wonder if Narendra Modi sent a direct message to Manohar Parrikar on Twitter. If he did, it's a case of the PM DM-ing his DM. #DMception

Radio, Twitter DM, email.... I'm expecting next year's PM report to be whispered intimately into my ear while I try to sleep at night.
