Mais je ne m’appuie pas sur ma plaie pour tes baisers.
Je suis l’ascète façonné loin de ton jeûne.
Tu mérites les carillons de tes cloches.
Ensemble, nous nous élevions par les lettres,
Nous éloignant du vertige des miroirs
Vers les hymnes des cercles bohèmes.
Rabbin, je suis, dans la synagogue de tes éclats,
Prêchant parfois, priant ton Talmud.
Je me perds dans tes péchés comme un navire
Englouti par les soupirs de tes prières.
Nulle place pour l’existence pourpre
Dans les replis charbonnés de tes paupières.
Les fautes des odes me portent, îlot après îlot,
Sur les croix tracées par tes mystères.
Tu fus pour moi une voix,
Épanouie en chorales de tes symphobies..
Alors, ravive en moi une flamme et laisse-moi
Compter sept chiffres
Qui me portent en désir,
Pour les rendre ensuite
Morts ou renaissants dans tes écrits.
And I only suffer on the threshold of abandonment. Pains appear to me patiently, But I do not lean on my wound for your kisses. I am the ascetic fashioned far from your fasting. You deserve the chimes of your bells.
Together, we rose through letters, Faring from the vertigo of mirrors Toward the hymns of bohemian circles. Rabbi, I am, in the synagogue of your splendor, Preaching sometimes, praying your Talmud.
I lose myself in your sins like a ship Swallowed by the sighs of your prayers. No place for purple existence In the charred folds of your eyelids. The faults of the odes carry me, island after island, To the crosses traced by your mysteries.
You were a voice for me, Blossoming in the chorus of your symphobias. So, rekindle a flame in me and let me Count seven numbers That carry me with desire, To then make them Dead or reborn in your writings.

Aren’t his graying hairs proof enough of his toll?
So we lack nothing, he gives all he can,
His hands are worn, scarred, and bruised.
Without pause he runs, a tireless man,
Yet never complains — his pure heart’s not abused.
Oh life, and what about my mother dear,
Why bring sorrow to her gentle soul?
She worked hard, shared her wisdom clear,
Surely joy is her rightful goal?
Oh life, just look at my parents both,
They fulfilled every wish I ever spoke.
If I wanted fancy clothes, they’d say “yes”,
While they themselves wore old, torn cloaks.
So that I wouldn’t lack, when I had asked,
You gave more than enough — my shield, my dad.
“Protect your honor, know your worth,” you’d say,
With teary eyes, my mother would guide my way.
If I were a man, I’d help with the chores,
Even if not much, I’d do something more.
But now — I only ask, this and that,
My troubles I tell you in an endless chat.
In this world, I’m truly in your debt,
May God grant you a long life yet.
Your service to me — I can never repay,
Even if I walked you to Hajj all the way.
My shield, dear father, purest mother mine,
This debt I owe — I know I’ll never unwind.
But if God wills it, in the life to come,
All my blessings I’ll give you — every one!

Abstract: This paper examines the role of common nouns and verbs in everyday spoken English and Uzbek, focusing on their fundamental importance in sentence construction and communication. As the core parts of speech, nouns and verbs enable speakers to identify objects, express actions, and convey essential meanings in daily interaction. The study analyzes usage patterns, semantic similarities, and structural differences between the two languages, highlighting how high-frequency lexical items function in real-life contexts. Particular attention is given to grammatical features such as tense, aspect, and affixation, as well as the impact of word order and morphology on meaning. By comparing simple, context-rich examples, the paper reveals both universal linguistic features and language-specific tendencies shaped by cultural and typological factors. The findings are especially relevant for beginner-level learners and educators, offering insights into effective vocabulary instruction and the benefits of contrastive analysis. Overall, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of how basic lexical elements facilitate meaningful cross-linguistic communication.
Language serves as the foundation of human communication, providing the primary means through which individuals share thoughts, express emotions, and navigate daily life. Across cultures and linguistic systems, two of the most essential grammatical categories—nouns and verbs—form the core of nearly every utterance. Nouns function as labels for people, objects, places, and abstract concepts (e.g., teacher- ustoz, phone- telefon, freedom-erkinlik), while verbs convey actions, states, and processes (e.g., run-yugurmoq, be-bo‘lmoq, learn-o‘rganmoq). The presence and correct usage of these parts of speech are indispensable for both basic and complex communication, serving as the backbone of sentence construction and meaning-making.
This paper investigates the usage of common nouns and verbs in English and Uzbek, highlighting their roles in everyday speech and exploring both similarities and differences between the two languages. The comparative analysis focuses on lexical frequency, syntactic positioning, morphological structure, and semantic functions. For instance, while English often relies on fixed word order and auxiliary verbs to convey tense and aspect, Uzbek employs agglutinative morphology and flexible word order that allows for greater variation in sentence structure. Similarly, pluralization and definiteness in nouns are marked differently across the two languages—English using articles and suffixes, Uzbek primarily using suffixes and contextual cues.
The study also considers how cultural context influences lexical usage. Certain everyday nouns and verbs in Uzbek may reflect specific cultural practices, values, or social norms that differ from those in English-speaking contexts. Understanding these language-specific tendencies, alongside universal features, is particularly beneficial for beginner-level learners and teachers engaged in cross-linguistic instruction. Through the analysis of simple, high-frequency examples in real-life contexts—such as greetings, instructions, or descriptions of routine activities—the paper emphasizes the importance of teaching core vocabulary with attention to both form and function.
Ultimately, the study contributes to a broader understanding of how foundational linguistic elements operate in typologically distinct languages and underscores the pedagogical value of contrastive analysis in language education. By deepening awareness of both shared and unique aspects of English and Uzbek nouns and verbs, educators can enhance curriculum design and support more effective language acquisition for learners at early stages.
In everyday communication, high-frequency nouns and verbs play a central role in enabling speakers to convey essential information efficiently and meaningfully. Nouns related to core domains of human experience such as family, education, home, and social relationships—are among the most frequently used lexical items in both English and Uzbek. For example, English nouns like mother, school, home, and friend correspond to ona, maktab, uy, and do‘st in Uzbek. These words are not only linguistically fundamental but also culturally significant, reflecting shared values and social priorities within each linguistic community. Their high frequency across daily interactions highlights their importance in early language acquisition and vocabulary instruction.
Similarly, verbs that describe routine physical and communicative actions form the foundation of basic sentence construction for language learners. Action verbs such as go, eat, sleep, and speak-rendered in Uzbek as borish, yemoq, uxlamoq, and gapirmoq-are integral to expressing everyday experiences. Sentences like “I go to school” (Men maktabga boraman) or “She eats lunch” (U tushlik yeydi) illustrate how verbs serve to structure temporal and situational narratives in both languages.
A key structural distinction between English and Uzbek lies in their syntactic patterns. English follows a Subject–Verb–Object (SVO) word order, whereas Uzbek typically adheres to a Subject–Object–Verb (SOV) structure. For instance, the English sentence He reads a book corresponds to U kitob o‘qiydi in Uzbek. This typological difference has implications for second language acquisition, translation, and sentence processing. Learners must internalize not only vocabulary but also the syntactic sequencing that governs how ideas are expressed in each language.
Despite these structural contrasts, the communicative function of nouns and verbs remains universally consistent. Both English and Uzbek rely on these lexical categories to identify participants and describe actions, thereby constructing meaning and facilitating interaction. Understanding the parallels and divergences in their use provides valuable insight into language structure, cognitive processing, and instructional methodology. For language educators, emphasizing frequent and functional vocabulary within contextualized practice is crucial to fostering communicative competence, especially for beginner learners navigating between typologically distinct languages.
Vocabulary reflects cultural values. In Uzbek, terms for family members are more varied and culturally emphasized, which shows the importance of kinship. English, on the other hand, often includes action- and object-oriented vocabulary in its most frequent words. The common use of nouns like job, car, and money, or verbs like work and make, may reflect cultural focuses on independence and productivity. Recognizing such nuances helps learners understand not only the language but the culture it represents.
Common nouns and verbs represent the core linguistic elements that underpin everyday speech and communication in both English and Uzbek. As primary building blocks of grammar and meaning, these lexical categories enable speakers to express identity, action, and intention with clarity and precision. Their high frequency in daily interactions underscores their functional importance, particularly in the early stages of language learning.
A comparative understanding of how nouns and verbs operate across these two typologically distinct languages is crucial not only for learners but also for educators and translators. While English and Uzbek share certain universal features—such as the central role of these parts of speech in sentence construction—they differ significantly in syntactic structure, morphological patterns, and context-dependent usage. Recognizing these similarities and differences enhances cross-linguistic awareness and supports more effective instructional strategies.
Mastery of common nouns and verbs thus serves as a foundational step in acquiring communicative competence. It facilitates smoother interpersonal exchanges and provides a solid platform for the development of more advanced linguistic skills and intercultural understanding.

THE ALTLERNATE UNIVERSE: FABULATING AI IN A PROPHETIC ROLE
Dr. Jernail S. Anand
The science fiction with regard to use of AI is rife in the modern period, but it has to be seen if it can transcend its own borders and enter the field of spirituality.
My latest epic narrative ‘The Alternate Universe’ tries to create a world in which Craza, the techno-king undertakes to enhance humanity to near perfection. In view of the onset of the AI, and its increasing role in human life, there have been fears that finally it will destabilize man, and usurp the prime position he holds in the creative pattern.
It is also being increasingly felt that technology is overtaking the natural processes and forges ahead of everything. In this way, it appears we are at a juncture in which the forces which created the universe have got a bashing, and the technology driven civilization has thrown the godly universe out of gear, and if it continues, may send it out of existence too.
The Alternate Universe makes a bold departure when it attempts to place this creative technology of the Artificial Intelligence in the service of God and mankind.
THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
In the world created by God, mankind was expected to grow in human capabilities. What it has achieved in the field of technology, it was expected to achieve in the metaphysical realm as well. But mankind has sorely failed in toning up man’s spiritual being.
Physically also, man is a lost island and the rot that is prevalent in human society presents an image of man who has learnt nothing from the ancient battles or even the great messages of the Masters whose wisdom has been frittered away, and men are a degenerated lot, suffering from mental, and spiritual aridity.
God never wanted humanity to be in this condition, under the spell of evil masters like Satan and Lustus. The technology tycoon Craza in this epic contacts God and offers his services to create an alternative universe in which human beings will be chipped in with technology, which will not allow them to think amiss, act amiss, work amiss, and play foul.
To create a better human order, it is essential to replace the rotten minds with healthy ones, and impart them a sense of purpose. Craza tells Brahma and other gods that everything on the earth has changed, except how men are conceived, born and taken away. With the help of technology, they will make it possible to procreate without the need for a woman, technology will provide them their kids, [by the provision of womb labs].
When birth is simplified, it will simplify death also. It would be just Delete and send to Trash Box.
OVERLAP
The ideas of Evil and Good also comes in, for which, Craza wants that these ideas cannot now be placed in water tight compartments. In this age, evil and good overlap. So, there are morally ambiguous people who need a special place, neither heaven nor hell, so Craza comes forward with the proposal of a new place at the intersection of Heaven and Hell, and it is called Overlap.
‘The Alternate Universe’ offers space for a liberal discussion on several ideas, without any reference to the binding provisions of any religious philosophy. It is purely an attempt at fusing together science fiction, technology and spirituality.
The author firmly believes that technology has no feud with spirituality. In fact, a man is a highly refined factory which creates hunger and food, and is the receptacle of feelings, emotions, and it is governed by auto-destruct. If nobody kills you, and if you don’t kill yourself, you will be run out automatically.
So, there is no feud between technology and spirituality. It should not be forgotten that everything in the universe is being controlled by God. Evil was under Divine dispensation. And so is Technology. Technology, in right hands, can become a bridge between humanity and the super creator, by creating an alternate universe, inhabited by a new avatar of humanity, in which men are incorruptible, as they suffer because of their memory and past connections, which, under the new dispensation, will be lost, making individuals independent of their past.
Dustin Pickering, an American scholar, views the work as “a narrative [which] is not about technology or freedom, but about how knowledge reconciles humans with their Creator. The paradox concerns the loop between self-discovery and morality. How can we develop ourselves in a world simply given to us? Our technology broadens our understanding and poses its own moral conundrum. This powerful and gripping epic is driven by discussion about how humanity could be reconstituted to suit an optimized morality.
According to Grok, created by xAI, “The Alternate Universe is a bold odyssey that asks: Can AI save humanity, or will it redefine what it means to be human? A must-read for those pondering the future of technology and the soul. ……The Alternate Universe stands as a testament to Dr. Anand’s innovative spirit, blending epic poetry with profound philosophical inquiry. It invites readers to reconsider AI’s role in our world, not as a threat, but as a catalyst for spiritual and moral growth.
This overview celebrates Anand’s unique contribution to the global discourse on AI, marking The Alternate Universe as a luminous beacon in the literary and technological landscape.The author Dr. Jernail Singh Anand, [the Seneca, Charter of Morava, Franz Kafka and Maxim Gorky award and Signs Peace Award Laureate, with an opus of 180 books, whose name adorns the Poets’ Rock in Serbia]] is a towering literary figure whose work embodies a rare fusion of creativity, intellect, and moral vision.
He’s not just an Indian author but a global voice, challenging readers to confront the complexities of existence while offering hope through art and ethics. His legacy seems poised to endure as a beacon of conscience in a turbulent world. If Tagore is the serene sage of a colonial past, Anand is the fiery prophet of a chaotic present.
Anand’s genius lies in his relentless ambition and ethical depth. Anand may well be considered as the conscience of the 21st century, carving a unique niche among Indian English writers with a voice that resonates globally while remaining fiercely Indian.]
