Let me tell you the story behind this picture today… ❤️
It was around 11:30 AM, and I was in a hurry to board my flight to Lucknow.
While going through immigration, I suddenly saw a guy and, in one go, I recognised him — 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗨 𝗗𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗥 | 𝗙𝗜𝗧𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛 Bhai.
For a moment, I thought, “Should I go and talk to him?” I wanted to tell him that he’s doing amazing work by inspiring people and educating them about fitness and lifestyle.
But honestly, I hesitated.
I thought, “Kahin bura na lage… kahin cheap ya awkward na lage.” So I walked away.
After walking almost 200 metres, I stopped myself.
I thought again and decided — “Nahi, baat krni chahiye.”
I went back, introduced myself, and once we shook hands and started talking, all that hesitation disappeared. Within just 2 minutes, it felt like I was talking to someone I had known for much longer.
We walked through the airport towards our gates, talking about Hyrox, how it is transforming Indian youth, fitness, lifestyle, and a lot more.
After around 20 minutes, we ended up having coffee together at his favourite outlet. ☕
And yes… the coffee was completely paid for by him, despite my repeated attempts to stop him.
PS — I genuinely believe playing a sport teaches you to be humble and kind.
And people like him remind you that sometimes, the people who inspire us can also help us grow simply through one conversation.
So next time you see someone who motivates or inspires you, don't hesitate — go and talk to them.
Because if I had continued walking today, maybe I would have carried the regret of “I should have talked to him” .
Sumit Sihag bhai jitna aap apni videos mein batate ho, usse bhi kahin zyada humble and friendly insaan hain ye. ❤️
Keep inspiring people, Monu Bhai.
And thank you for that coffee & conversation. ☕🤝 ALSO GOOD LUCK FOR MUMBAI HYROX 👍👍
