CISF officer gets inspired by MS Dhoni’s ‘never-lose-hope’ philosophy 

In a heart-touching account that has taken social media by storm, Satish Pandey, an officer of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), shared his profound encounter with former India cricket captain MS Dhoni. The incident unfolded in the VIP lounge of the Ranchi Airport on a sunny Sunday, August 27. Pandey’s narrative sheds light on the humility, wisdom, and warmth exuded by the cricketing legend.

Pandey’s letter, which has now gone viral, encapsulates the essence of his meeting with Dhoni. He writes about how he managed to bypass the queue and have a face-to-face interaction with the icon himself.

What struck Pandey was not just the privilege of meeting Dhoni, but the sheer humility that radiated from his ‘gracious smile’ and the firm yet friendly handshake.

The conversation between Pandey and Dhoni transcended the superficial and ventured into the realm of life’s deeper insights. Pandey’s curiosity led him to inquire about how Dhoni maintains his composure despite triumphs and defeats alike. Dhoni’s response, as shared by Pandey, is as profound as it is simple. “I just want to enjoy that moment because I know this moment will not come again in life. I want to live it.”

Dhoni’s wisdom didn’t stop there. He shared with Pandey an invaluable piece of advice – the art of letting go of things that lie beyond one’s control. He stated, “Contrary to popular belief, staying calm and composed now involves selectively ignoring things because if we respond to everything, our brain will stop working because there are many battles open in a human life.”

Pandey stated that he also understood the significance of personal growth in maintaining inner peace. He finished by describing Dhoni as a man with a “golden heart.”
