A Journey Of Life
जिंदगी का सफ़र
Another unusual story presented by Crime Patrol Dastak that again
teaches us that humanity has no limitations even we are from different
communities. Two different person who comes from different faith meets each
other in a bus and this meeting changes their lives completely.
Father Sebestian, 41 (played by Iqbal Azad) who is catholic priest from
Kottayam, Kerala while Rashad Mohammad (30) (Player by Saurabh Gogate)
is from Alappuzha who urgently needs a kidney transplant. Rashad was working
at a shop as sales person in Gulf. His earning from Gulf was a big relax for
his parent. Rashad's father was running a small stationary shop at Haripad in
Alappuzha. His brother was also doing a small job at Haripad. Rashad's parents
are patients of Hight Diabities and during their critical time, Rashad's
earning was a big support for them.
During 2011 Rashad was feeling that his eye sight is becoming weak. His eye
checkup report was good. Another doctor asks him to do a blood test but his
blood sugar and cholesterol was also fine. Few more tests revealed that both
of his kidneys has problem. His kidneys soon needs a transplant and soon his
dialysis will also start. Rashad comes back to his home in India. From then he
was borrowing money from his relatives and friends for his dialysis. His both
parent were also not able to donate kidney to him as they both a diabetic and
heart patients. His brother can not donate his kidney because his blood group
is different.
February 25, 2013 was a unforgettable day for Rashad on which he met Father
Sebastian in a bus to the hospital. He set next to the father just by chance.
Years ago father Sebastian came to know that a person can live with just one
kidney. That time he decided that he will donate his one kidney to a deserving
person.
"I was also inspired by the story of Father Davis Chiramel, who had donated
one of his kidneys to a Hindu. I was waiting for the day when I could also
make the same sacrifice."
A man can donate his kidney to a person who has same blood group. Asking
Rashad told him that his blood group is A+. Father's blood-group was also
same. Now they need to check with the doctor if other items matches. As per
medical, a person can donate his kidney to a person with same blood-group
with 65% match but in there case medical tests showed
95% match.
After these medical procedures, Rashad's friends and relatives arranged
money for his operation which was around 5 lac.
"We may be following different faiths but all of us should remember that
there is only one God and He represents love and kindness. And in front of
death, there is no religion. I sincerely hope nobody will impose their
faith on others and nobody would fight in the name of religion."
"I am a Catholic priest from Chalakuddy; Rasad, a Muslim from Haripad and
we met on a bus to Kochi. What a strange coincidence! Without God deciding
it, how can this happen? Both of us believe in our respective religions
fiercely."
"As per my religious beliefs, there is nothing more than giving one's
life to someone and God has given me the opportunity to give a part of my
life to a person so that he gets a new lease of life. I am talking about
what am doing only because I will be blessed if this can inspire at least
one other person."
"Religion never came to my mind when I wanted to help Rasad; the only
thoughts I had were of love, peace, brotherhood and humanism."- Father Sebestian.
