Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.#devangpatelphotography

A 7 year old sacrifices for his best friend

Salman Khan's Story

While Salman was shooting for Dabangg at Wai (base of Panchgani), everyday he watched his crew drive past a throng of kids walking to school. A curious Salman went up to the school to find out how far were the homes of these children. An awed headmaster shared that there were 200 kids who walked 5km to 6km everyday to come to school. To some the number may seem reasonable, but in a village school, this number represented 90% of the students. Imagine the plight of little feet dragging themselves through kilometers of rough path to get access to their basic right of education. This thought disrupted Salman's peace and he promptly arranged 200 bicycles to be distributed among these children. Through Salman Khan Being Human Foundation, each of these students were gifted a bicycle, making their journey to school smoother and joyful. As a result, tables turned for the school which was grappling with issue of high absenteeism, thereby created a win-win situation for all. A happy ending we thought, but a few days later, a boy with a cycle stopped Salman Khan in his tracks just outside the school. Salman recognized the cycle and stepped out of the car to speak to the boy. The 7 year old kept repeating his humble plea "Please take this cycle back. I am ready to walk 5kms everyday but in return please help my best friend who has a hole his heart. I want to be able to play with him again." As goes his second nature, Salman quickly arranged a team of Being Human doctors to be flown in that very day before sunset. Without a second thought, Being Human committed to all medical expenses for treatment and future surgery. After all, a cycle can bring you comfort but what fun is riding alone if you don't have your best friend for company.

Kiss.!!!

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous,
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.

Being Human

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being. Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individual. Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.

Food.!!!

A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul. #devangpatelphotography
