IN 2001, during a flight journey, the then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee insisted on sharing a task that few would expect from a leader of his stature. As journalist-turned-politician Balbir Punj, who was travelling with him, offered to handle the luggage, Vajpayee stopped him and said, "Work should be divided - one time you carry and the next time I will."

A photograph from that moment, which later made its way into every newspaper and magazine, shows Vajpayee, India's tallest leader at the time, carrying the luggage while Punj, former Rajya Sabha MP followed behind.
