PM Modi spotted wearing earring while meeting Oman deputy PM?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arrival in Oman was a glitzy affair. PM Modi, who was received by the Oman Deputy Prime Minister for Defence Affairs, was welcomed with great grandeur, including a traditional dance and a guard of honour. However, what sparked curiosity on social media was a small, blingy sort of earring on his left ear. It opened a flood of speculations - was it PM Modi's new style?

While PM Modi may have his hands full with matters of the country, he is known to pay considerable attention to his wardrobe. His crisp, well-cut suits and bright colours at official events have always been a talking point (remember the bandhgala suit that had his name embroidered all over it).

However, this time, the "earring" worn by PM Modi was not a subtle style choice. A closer look revealed that it was a real-time translation device. Such devices are commonly used during high-level diplomatic engagements to facilitate smooth communication.

PM Modi was wearing the device as he met Oman's deputy PM, Sayyid Shihab bin Tariq Al Said, at the airport. The official language of Oman, a Gulf nation, is Arabic.
