probably a Bakshish from Guru
                                          Nanak  Badshah  ji  that    gave
                                          us the courage to take such a
                                          decision.
                                              Prime Minister – Nothing can
                                          happen without the blessings of
                                          the Gurus.
                                              Supreet ji – absolutely sir,
                                          absolutely.
                                              Prime Minister- Sukhbir ji,
                                          when you were in the hospital
                                          and when the doctor gave you
                                          this shocking news, even after
                                          that you and your wife took
                                          such a big decision with a calm
                                          and composed mind, it is the
                                          teachings of the Gurus that led
                                          to such an altruistic thought
                                          in the mind and in fact the
                                          meaning of Ababat in common
                                          parlance is helpful. I want to
                                          hear of the moment when this
                                          work was done.
                                              Sukhbir ji- Sir, actually Priya
                                          ji, a family friend of ours had
                                          donated  her organs  and  we
                                          got inspiration from her too…
        teachings  given  by  the  Gurus.   so at that time we felt that
        Are you there Supreet ji? Can we   the body which is there would
        talk to her?                      merge  into  the  five  elements.
            Sukhbir ji – Yes sir.         When someone gets separated
            Supreet ji- Hello.            forever  and  goes  away,  his
            Prime Minister – Supreet ji I   body is burnt or buried, but if his
        offer my Pranam to you.           organs are useful to someone,
            Supreet  ji-  Namaskar  sir   then it is a good deed and we
        Namaskar  sir,  it  is  a  matter  of   felt more proud at that time
        great pride for us that you are   when the doctors told us that
        talking to us.                    your daughter had become the
            Prime Minister – You have     youngest donor in India whose
        done such a great deed and I      organs had been successfully
        believe  that  when  the  country   transplanted. So our heads
        will get to know of all this, many   were held high with pride that,
        people will come forward to save   whereas  we could  not  bring
        someone's life. This contribution   glory to our parents till this age,
        of Ababat, indeed is very big.    a small child had come and
            Supreet ji- Sir, this too was   raised our name in so many
