              Literature is related to all fields. Literature is closely related to the fields of spirituality, sophistication, art, and history. Spirituality (Arabic for “moral state” is the image of the nation. It directs a person to perfection and purifies his soul. Our first president I.A. Karimov “Literature is anthropology and poets and writers are described as engineers of the human soul, it is not for nothing that it is not difficult to understand that literature is one of the tools that elevates spirituality. literature will live forever. Because it reflects a high spirituality. For example, the epic “Alpomish” embodies the high spirituality of the Uzbek nation. When we read it, courage, honesty, and kindness are the most important, and the feeling of love for the motherland grows in our blood. beats more violently.

          The relationship between literature and art is that through its only tool, the word, it evokes a world of impressions and pleasure in the reader. Look at the two verses of A. Navoi;

You made us a victim by decorating your face with flowers,

He touched your face and made us victims.

through similes and beautiful lies, the creator has turned these stanzas into art. As an artist can create a work of art, a poet has created a work of art that is no less enjoyable.

literature goes hand in hand with history. History tells what happened, literature describes how it was.

        Imagery is an important tool in literature, as in all works of art. Imagery (Russian “common image”) is the reflection of the reality of existence in creative artistic thinking. For example; A flower is a plant that brightens the eyes, but in the eyes of a poet, it turns into a beautiful flower.

       The artist enjoys and is influenced by life while creating his work. The more the work is based on the logic of life, the more readers it will have. Literature takes all its materials from life; It expresses reality in an artistic way. That is, it is the opposite (perception) of literature, but exactly not himself. Because life is not based on literature, literature is based on life. A work inspired by imagination and high emotions is also built on a vital, logical basis. Because life and emotions themselves are vital concepts. The perception of reality in a person’s mind is an understood, meaningful perception.

          Life is not simply reflected in literature. The reflection of life in literature is a known, understood, meaningful reflection the artist observes life and comes to general conclusions and reflects these conclusions in his work – judges reality…

Our society is in the hands of young people!

The growing young generation is the future of our society. Parents should lay the foundation for their education, language learning, and professional development. They should be an example to their children.

There is a saying in our people: "A bird does what it sees in its nest." Of course it is. Parents are role models for their children.

We found it permissible to give examples from events in life. A friend of mine from a long time ago used to take all his pain from his little child as a result of misunderstandings in his family, relations between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. His child was still two years old. The quarrels and passions that took place at home were getting imprinted in the child's memory. He was growing up as a timid, shy, lonely child...

Big mistakes of parents in child rearing started to surface. The result of their mistakes knowingly and unknowingly hit them like a slap in the face in the example of their children...

When the child reaches adulthood, he does not respect his parents, gets angry at the slightest problem, and fights with his friends on the street every day. His life was meaningless and fruitless...
You definitely don't want to get into this situation. But such mistakes are made in case of ignorance.

Dear parents, let's open our eyes. Let's not ignore the future of our children.

The future of our society is in the hands of our children and youth! They should be given knowledge in every field, be an example, read books together, and have useful activities. Then the child develops.
Why does a child born in a family of intellectuals necessarily get a higher education? Why does a child born in an artistic family become an artist? So?! Because such talents and abilities are a process that passes through genes. If you want to change the genes of your ancestors, first change yourself. Read, develop, gain knowledge, set goals. Action and action.

Let's not forget that it is in the hands of parents to form an educated, intelligent class for our society!

Marital Reflections




They had an

Kind of marriage,

A big catch

And a lot

To be

Excited about

But then they

Went through

A bunch

And once they

Returned home

Everything was gone.

The Regntiden1

for Lloyd A. Jacobs, Ejaz Rahim & Leonidas Efthmiou

after Rain (Regn) by Edvard Munch (Norway), 1902 C.E.

 I

 The Bookshelf // 
I assemble the newly procured bookshelf 
and place the wooden statues of The Zulu Warriors—
my father had brought back with him from Kenya 
in the Summer of ’96 C.E.—
on either side of the five-shelved rack, 
as if The Valkyries at the Valgrind to Valhalla. 
I place the books horizontally on the wooden planks, 
not vertically—since, the weight of the words 
can also force the spine of the book to bend.

*

The weight of the words of some books 
is also (in)famous for forcing the minds-of-wo/men 
to bend & mend! And I ponder: if the weight of the words 
of my books will also succeed in serving such a purpose?

 II

 East & West // 
I literally use the compass to figure out 
the exact eastern-end and the western-end of my room, 
and place the 4’ tall wooden lamp—
a present I had received from my ex-girlfriend 
in the Summer of ’14 C.E.—
in the Eastern Corner. 

[Perhaps,] it’s the effect of the sweet intoxication 
from the aroma of the freshly rain-bathed soil 
that forces me to take the proverb, 
the sun rises in the East 
and sets in the West, 
 literally! 

And I place the stone incense burner 
(with an uncovered opening to the compartment 
inside for hosting a miniature candle)—
procured from The Body Shop—
atop the lid of the lamp to symbolise the Stella/Sol.2

 III

 The Vahana //3
 I think of pulling my vahana – 
Toyota Aqua (Hybrid) 1500 cc 
(procured via a local car dealer 
in the Summer of ’17 C.E.) –
out of the porch and 
letting her also bathe and breathe 
in the mint-fresh rain. 

*

This early, early ante meridiem 
cata-doxa4 is a call for Celebration ‘n Change: 
the (in)famous Indian Monsoon is early 
in the Summer of ’22 C.E. 

Both the man & the beast will be observing 
the Thanksgiving early, too—
since the sunrays, like the uninvited guests,
had the dramas-of-life rather shackled, lately.

On the Beaches in Bulgaria: 2016 C.E.

for Cameron, Monika & Aleksandra

after Children Playing On The Beach by Mary S. Cassatt (USA), 1884 C.E.



 I

Today —
 Solis-roasted Sand2;
 	Solis-burnt Sea2.

It makes you appreciate e=mc2
in a rather strange, strange way.
Or maybe it’s the beer (?)
Under the gaze of the Thirsty Solis,
a pint of Heineken barely manages
to stay cool for > 300 seconds.
 
 II

“… And pile it up more around the chest, belly & limbs.
… But spare the face!
You know I’m rather proud of my Persian Face!”
He asks me to help him
cover his body with the sunbaked sandy beach.
“Don’t turn this into a burial rehearsal now!”
I mock his idea of the sand-therapy.

~

The Scene / Act reminds me of the street hawkers
from back home—
roasting the corn-on-the-cobs & chickpeas
in the salty-sea shore-sand on their mobile-stalls.

 III

“We won’t let you drown.
Trust Us!”
Monika & Aleksandra make a support
with their arms and teach me
how to make my body float on the water.
“When I was 9, I had drowned
in The Indus River on a picnic day-out,”
I stutter as I raise my legs &
let the buoyancy take charge.

 IV

Today —
I’ve been rather unfaithful to myself:
I violated the vow of Literary-Celibacy
i.e. I broke the promise-to-self
to not to indulge in any poetry & poems.


 

Cigarette-Smoke Halos

for Family & Friends

after The Muse Inspiring The Poet (La Muse Inspirant le Poete) by Henri Rousseau (France), 1909 C.E.

 I

Mercury/Steel Cigarette-Smoke Halos for all my dreams.
Why 		shalt I 			feel
intimidated by an Israfel?*

 II

Of late – poems are frequenting me
like 	an Ottoman Emperor 		frequents
his favourite mistresses in the harems.

 III

Sometimes – I feel like/as if I’m a Socrates,
a Constantine, 		a Rumi, 		a Ghalib,
but without any fast acolytes.

Sometimes – I feel like/as if I’m a line
without 		any 		alphabet
and commas and apostrophes and periods.

Sometimes – I feel like/as if I’m an epic
that 		can’t be		bound
by any spiral or saddle-stitched spines.

Sometimes – I feel like/as if I’m a thumb,
a forefinger,	a middle finger		on a hand
that can’t seem to be able to strangle the wind.

Sometimes – I feel like/as if I’m a medallion,
an 		untied		knot
on an Eshfahan, a Kashan, a Farahan kilim.

Sometimes – I feel like/as if I’m a verse,
a couplet,	a ghazal, 	a sonnet,
but without any regards in her chest.

Sometimes – I feel like/as if I’m a curse,
a prayer		on a broken		mother’s lips,
who lost a youngling to some war.

Sometimes – I feel like/as if I’m a Man
—with 		a		Free Will—
but only as free as his idioms and narratives.

Reasons preventing the younger generation from revealing their talents

Annotation: This article took into consideration about a variety of negative factors which can prevent children from pouring out their own ability and talent

The key words: Attention, kindness, fear, defeat, dream

The one and only supreme task of man in this world is to achieve his own destiny. All people know their destiny when they are young. But as time passes, a mysterious force convinces them that it is impossible to realize their destiny. This mysterious power seems to be a blessing to the human race,but in fact, it is this same power that shows the way to realize one’s destiny. It prepares the human spirit and freedom for that great task. There is a supreme truth in this kurrai land:when you really want something, you will definitely achieve it, because such a desire is born in the spirit of the world. That’s why you were created on earth.Paulo Coelho(The Alchemist). 

Before a person is born, his parents or grandparents decide who he will be, what profession he will take or what kind of person he will be. It seems that if a child grows up based on the scenariothey choose , they will become the most famous person, a person who can conquer great heights and take bold steps towards great goals. For them, children’s wishes and abilities seem to be completely unimportant and unnecessary. Do you know what professions parents choose first? Yes, of course,they want and choose the most modern, high-income profession, which they are engaged in at the moment, as well as their successors.

A child comes into the world, slowly begins to take steps towards his destiny. What is “own destiny”? This is the supreme assence of our life on earth. However, not everyone is lucky enough to find the courage to follow this path to the prospect of the most sacred dreams. In Paulo Coelho’s work “The Alchemist”, it is written that 4 pitfalls prevent the realization of human dreams. The first is that the biggest dreams in life are broken to the human being from childhood as unfulfilled dreams. He grows up with this undersanding. As the years go by, his heart is filled with guilt and guilt. One day there will come a moment when the desire to follow the path of one’s destiny seems to him more frightening than death because of this ugky burden, and then a person will lose the sense of understanding why he came to this world. Feels as if it has become.

When he overcomes these fears and begins to step towards his dreams, a new test and hardships will be waiting for him. The thing that hurts people is that they give up everything at the last step. Oscar Wilde wrote: ”Man always destroys what he loves most in life’’. Dear parents, who condemn their children to life-long disappointment because of money and material world, you should never forget that, unlike other creatures, man always strives for excellence in this world and sets his sights on a good life. Lives but not everyone understands the concept of “good life” correctly. Maybe some people think that the only way to reach the top is to satisfy their needs in material life and try to achieve it without even committing crimes, while others choose a completely different path.

Knowing very well that material things and the desires of the soul are not a guarantee of true highness, true highness and a good life is to be spiritually strong and spiritually perfect, and he gives his all in this way. There are such people that it is impossible not to envy them, parents who could see their talents and abilities have become famous all over the world today because of their support for their children.

Let’s say that Kim Ung-Yong is a 4-year old university student with a Guinness world record. As the owner of the IQ ”210” level, he was recorded in the “Guinness” book of records. Gregory Smith was nominated for the Nobel Prize 4 tines in 12 years, and became a university student at the age of 10. Akrit Yaswal is a 7-year old surgeon and a university student at the age of 15. His biggest goal is to find a cure for cancer. Kleopatra Stratan is the youngest performer, at the ago of 3 she gave a 2-year old artist, her mother, seeing her interest in art, takes her to an art teacher in Melbourne and shows her. At the age of 4, her solo exhibition opened in New York.

There are people among us who, when they talk about great people like this, it is in their blood, and they think that their circumstances and our circumstances are drastically different. In fact, they do not know how many great breeds are flowing in our blood. At that time, they read books by candlelight. Now let’s think, nothing can stop your child from becoming the owner of the profession he wants from the moment you make it possible for him. English biochemist S.Gouse says that there are more obstacles to the development of human abilities in social conditions than in biology. The English psychologist D.Kidgin comes to the same conclusion and thinks about the decisive influence of education on the intellectual development of a person.

Representatives of the second concept argue that the ability is completely determined by the social conditions of life and aducation. For example, Gelvesiy once said that it is possible to create a genius with the help of education. Russian scientist A.N.Leont’ev with his theory of functional organs, which was founded by A.Ukhtomsky, supports a similar concept. Prominent Russian psychologist S.L.Rubinstein objects to the concept of A.N.Leontev. In his opinion, innate talent is areality, it should be developed. No one person has the same fingerprints, so their talentsare different from each other. It is up to us to preserve such unique talents, to further improve and improve them. It is true that we are influenced by external factors, social environment and some of our parents in order to reveal our talent. Yes, of course, our parents wish only the best for us, but they do not know that they have extinguished our talent without knowing it. In this regard, many people do not become mature specialists by choosing professions they do not like and face many difficult situations throughout their lives. Dear parents, always support your child’s opinion, because the country needs mature specialists.

Fresh dream

        The smell of soil, the smell of ground...Oh , so lovely and dear this smell. Especially, the soil of native land is closer to the heart. Repentance, the sun of homeland also seem special. After all, only one sun shines on the whole world. But, as if the sun caresses the people with its rays, looks at them with a special smile. 

        Barno stopped in the modern airport which crowded with people. Looked around one by one . The words resonated in her native language sounded very pleasant to her ears. Barno was coming back to Uzbekistan for missing her sister and village very much. Although she wanted to wander through Tashkent which is capital of Uzbekistan , she decided to go to Surkhandarya. She promised to return again to Tashkent before went to Surkhandarya. The roads were far away... Barno remembered the past, leaning his face against the window of the car.

        Barno was born in Surkhandarya region. She grew in anticipation of the scorching rays of the sun. Maybe so that, she was so beautiful girl like so many  girls of Surkhandarya. Her childhood was very happy. She saw no grief, no worries. But at the age of 17,  she lost his father and a year later her mother. They died.

         She and her sister started living with their old grandmother. Barno's dream of being student at university also did not come true. The main reason for this is that, after finishing from school , she went to work abroad with aunt Robia who was both their neighbour and her mother's closest friend. Her sister was 10 years old and her grandmother was old. Moreover,  it was also difficult to find a job. They hadn't got any relatives who can help, almost. Five years ago she left her homeland with deep sadness in his heart. 

     She began working with her aunt in a confectionery factory. She worked a lot to earn much money. It will be much more difficult, if you do not have a person and a home that wait you when you return late from work. Sometimes, when Barno came from work, she was weeping remembering her country, village and loved ones. She would  stop weeping, thinking that she would hurt her parents who were looking from the skies. She worked hard and sent a lot of money to her grandmother.  One day, When she was talking with her sister on the phone, her sister said that there were many new developments in New Uzbekistan, and youth had different chances to do business. Barno had hope in her heart. She decided to come back to her home. She wanted to live happy in her country.

        She  remembered her stories in her life. When she got up they had almost arrived at the destination. The taxi entered into the street which known for her. Barno was over the moon. 

     As long as, her sister and grandmother were waiting without sleeping. Barno was so happy to see them, to return to her country. That situation was impossible to describe in words. She hugged her grandma and sister with her heart, not with her hands. After she rested for few days, she began her work. "We always support youth who had a talent in their heart" they said to Barno, and they gave credit in very fast opportunities. Barno created her own confectionery factory in her village. Apart from she called it "Fresh dream" . This name was similar to her life and feelings . The "Fresh dream" factory was opened in a lot of areas of her country. Her factory and her sweets were famous and lovely for everyone.
                                                           ********** 
      Barno was invited to the forum of youth and students of Uzbekistan. The main reason for this is that she was one of the best business girl of her country. Now she was not an unhappy girl but one who came back to her homeland with longing for her country. She was really happy!
