On being asked what Mir wants to do in future, the teenager using sign language said that he wants to become just like Major Kamlesh Mani in his life.  While sharing their story to ThePrint, the Army officer said “ After meeting me a few times, he came with me to our Army camp. I gifted him a pair of shoes and we grew attached. The next day, he came back with a crate of apples for me. I wasn’t there at the time, but, when I returned, he ran to say ‘hi’ and only then accepted something to eat. After meeting with his family, I decided to sponsor his (Mir’s) education and pay for any medical expenses. The family was very emotional, but they were happy someone wanted to help out”.
