00:00Patar Sahib was connected to nature and he was a big fan of literature.

00:07He was also connected to us because he had a lot of thoughts.

00:12He was also connected to PAU.

00:14I was his student.

00:16The day he passed away, he felt that he had lost a lot.

00:24Many people said that we will do this and that.

00:27But we thought that we should make a garden for him.

00:34We didn't name the garden Adab.

00:38Adab means respect.

00:41We are making a garden in respect to him.

00:43This garden is not just for him.

00:46We are making something special.

00:48People who love nature and literature

00:53In the first section, from Uda to Lallepar,

00:58Akiali, Akhar, Khadir, Uda, Unaab, Aada, Aamba,

01:08where Aada and Aamba's stone is there,

01:11there is also a Buddha.

01:15All these ancient poets, from Baba Farid to Shiv Kumar,

01:20who started Kavta and spread it to Manjar,

01:25all of them have their own sketches and poetry.

01:28My younger brother Harinder has dedicated a place near this garden.

01:34Our dream is that in this garden,

01:39we can show the art and nature of Punjab.

01:44People who come to Punjab, live outside Punjab,

01:47love Punjab, love literature,

01:49will be able to see it here.

01:51This is the first time I have seen a garden like this in Punjab.

01:58I think there are many other gardens like this in other districts.

02:08As Mr. Rawli said earlier,

02:12there is a shortage of new generations in books these days.

02:17That is why we bring these books to life.

02:24If we can make a garden in the name of the poets,

02:29not just poets, but also those who give health to the society,

02:35then people will go to the gardens.

02:40If not, then they will go to the books.

02:43If we can give that to the next generation,

02:45then that will be a great achievement.
