Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni has already delegated his duties to his deputy and
most suitable player Virat Kohli. He is now preparing to play fo next world cup and then per-
haps will hang his boots. Like Saurav Ganguli, Dhoni too brought in a fresh wave of attitude
in the team that not only earned success for the team but also respectable reputation.
After several trophies, Dhoni has proved that he was the best skipper Indian ever had. This
man not only is capable of turning the tide his way, he also has a personality that can teach
one and all something or other. Now Dhoni is an inspiration - not only for cricketers and aspir-
ing players but to everyone. Wondering what a top cricketer has to do with inspiring the com-
mon individual? Read on to know that.
Cool attitude
Well, that is his best quality. Dhoni remains calm and cool in all situations whether it’s an excite-
ment of getting a big success or a shock given by the opposition. His players commit some
serious mistakes but he remains calm and a smile never leaves his face. This is a message
to fellow people to let the past buried and start fresh. If you bowled a bad ball that went to the
boundary, forget that and start afresh with next ball and prove your value.
Being cool is the best quality one can have. We come across many bad situations every day.
Now those who are emotional fall prey to a situation and commit mistakes. While those like
Dhoni will monitor the situation and wait for the best time to play their shot. The second attempt
always gives you better chance as you know where to and how hard to hit.
Attack hard
Always notice the shots Dhoni plays. He backs them with
immense power. His popular helicopter shot is based on tremen-
dous power. Even his single shots sometimes become a
boundary.
When you are in a fight always attack as hard as possible. This not only gives you confidence
but also breaks the confidence of the opponent. Even if the opposition is easy on you, stay
hard. Never let your foes rise their heads. Now, who your real enemies are - anger, disap-
pointment etc.
Always put your best foot forward. Any time you get loosened up, you not only lose the pre-
cious lead but also give the opponent a chance to come back.
Take your own decisions
Playing a spinner or three fast bowlers or a combination of both, Dhoni always made his own
decisions. The so-called experts kept yelling and terming dhoni's decision as incorrect of not
picking a spinner. But Dhoni stood adamant and the fast bowler who did a splendid job and
kept the confidence of his captain.
When you are responsible for something, had you did exactly what was expected and still you
lost, people will not spare blaming you. So when you will be blamed for a loss, why not take
your own decisions. at least you will not feel pity inside as well as outside. You will know that
at least the decision was owned by you. And as Krishna said - You cannot control the results.
Just do your Karma.
Take responsibilities
Right after the world cup when Ravi Shastri asked Dhoni about how he was feeling, he said:
“Relieved”. Not only because he won a World cup for India but also because his decisions
worked. He still politely admitted that my decisions could have been the point of controversy.
Thankfully we won otherwise all would have raised questions about my elevated batting order,
playing Sreeshanth etc.
So, own your responsibilities all the way through they are finished. So even if you fail in the
end, you know that you are responsible for everything. Then take lessons and move ahead.
Lead from the front
Whether he scored runs or not, he led from the front. Dhoni motivated his batsman to get good
runs and resist any bowling attack. Similarly, he shuffled all his bowlers regularly and even
those who failed to perform were given enough opportunity to come back. And they did.
So whether you are a team member or leader, your performance must be top notch. Never
shrug off your responsibilities if you are not a leader. You at least and always will be a leader
of yourself. Because you lead your own decisions. You at times hear your heart and ignore it
on the other occasions. So always be a leader and lead with a strong a positive attitude.

Editorial
Court restrains social media for False videos etc dis-
paraging Aashirvaad Atta
Udaipur:Aashirvaad Atta, the
No. 1 packaged atta brand in
the country was the subject of
malicious videos on internet
platforms alleging that the atta
contained plastic. The said
videos claimed that if the dough
made from ‘Aashirvaad atta’
was washed several times it
resulted in a gum like sub-
stance, which was alleged to
be plastic. What is being
alleged as 'plastic' in these
videos is in fact a wheat pro-
t e i n ( a l s o k n o w n a s
gluten)which binds the atta
together and gives elasticity to
the dough when kneaded. The
said videos were made and cir-
culated with the intent to cause
confusion and false alarm
among the general public
regarding the use and con-
sumption of Aashirvaad atta,
and to damage the reputation
of ‘Aashirvaad’ brand.
Even the FSSAI regulations
under the Food Safety and
Standards Act, 2006, require
that all atta must contain a min-
imum of 6% wheat protein.
Taking on the baseless alle-
gations made against the reput-
ed brand, the Company had
earlier filed a police complaint
in Kolkata against the propri-
etor of Khabar Samay and his
unknown associates who are
understood to be behind these
videos. Further, the Company
also filed a suit against Khabar
Samay, its proprietor Mr. Sanjay
Sharma and others,inthe Court
of City Civil and Sessions
Judge in Bengaluru, seeking
inter alia, injunction against
these videos and damages for
loss of reputation.
Upon hearing the case, the
Court passed an order on
16.12.2017 restraining the
defendants, which include
internet/social media platform
providers, viz.
Google, YouTube, Facebook
and Twitter, from publishing,
broadcasting, communicating
or in any manner making such
videos available or causing or
continuing to make such videos
available for public viewing.The
Court has also issued sum-
mons in the Suit to the said
internet/social media platform
providers.
In line with its commitment to
creating world-class FMCG
brands that create,capture and
retain value in India, ITC Ltd.
has always kept manufactured
in factories with ISO 22000 cer-
tification, ITC ensures that
Aashirvaad Atta, like all ITC’s
products, maintains and com-
plies with the highest levels of
purity, quality, safety and
hygiene standards in manu-
facturing processes and in the
supply chain.
