God bless Uzbekistan. But this time bless us harder🙏

The early teen years were great—CIC, meeting new friends, frequenting the cafés, touring new places. But over time, the hard truth knocks in—that you're no longer that child anymore, that you can't keep doing everything simply for fun or to outdo your friends anymore. Everything—and I mean it—just flips in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, your parents are already discussing your future job, or even worse, your wedding. Problems get stacked; and your daily to-do filled. When you visit your Samarkand village, your uncle is already sharing hardcore life lessons. And that bucket list of yours? Probably still hidden in the dusty corner of your bookshelf. You suddenly become part of the flow, just like everyone else—another servant of this never-ending system that keeps everyone occupied. It is disgustingly delicious to live. But we just forget it. And chances are, we don’t even understand the real meaning behind that saying with grass. Indeed, go touch some grass and live your life to the fullest. Maybe Neo wasn’t even meant to choose the red pill. The so-called Matrix is unfightable. A realization alone may guide you on how to control it, at the very least. #ciao

God bless Uzbekistan!

i believe that 90% of you lean on liberal views. I sense that because the majority of us has not bothered with a deeper crap like that. Most of you can go further up to understand the definitions of liberalism, right wing, left wing, democracy, authoritarianism, communism, nazism, nationalism and etc, but a very of you have gone to dig deeper. The reason behind is that you have not been challenged with a mind freezing, dark but shiny and addictive shit of that sort yet. All these confrontations have occurred just because of academic progress and not out of self-interest and profound curiosity. And why do I say that the majority of us just lean towards liberal views is because almost everything that surrounds us have the root of liberalism. That is why it is very easy to breathe as an atheist rather than a believer, especially a muslim is now afraid to take shit at their own will. That’s why it is really to have sinful conversations and when the sin is pointed out and addressed, everything gets twisted. All of a sudden the discomfort is called out. what a world; what a world. Dayum, you must read The Idiot by Dostoevsky.

But hey! You can still join us if you are not based in Tashkent. With the help of Strava, we are able the track the progress of our members even while thousands of miles away. Don't miss the chance, and be a part of our amazing community! Link

40 days remain until the June Zaamin Marathon. And our running club is back to its weekly intensive sessions, thanks to Bilal's assistance. We want to expand, and thus, we are opening a new application for those intending to join: Link So far, our guys have participated in two marathons in just 2 months: Tashkent International Marathon and Sky Camp Trail Run. (You can find the pics in the comments) Our runs happen twice a week: Thursday and Sunday, at Pakhtakor running track and Eco park, respectively. Join the ranks of the future ironmen!

In my eighteen years on this little planet, I never found myself obsessing over TV shows. Of course, as a kid, I might have watched a show or two, but most of the content I consumed came from external sources, with YouTube being one. However, I broke my streak. I watched an Uzbek TV show—not necessarily consciously, but because my friend Jamshidbek was on TV recently. This is the show he was in, by the way. And this single ten-minute excerpt taught me tons about Uzbek culture and why it keeps devolving, again and again. First, in Western shows, journalists are highly educated. They are not on screen just to put up some shit-show. They need to be competent. They need to stay cool. And above all, they need to listen. But the showrunners on that Uzbek TV show were doing anything but listening with a solemn mind. They made the whole thing chaotic, uninteresting, and very fake. I mean, no one acts like that in real life. Inauthenticity is palpable. Second, showrunners should not be arrogant. They should listen, but that doesn’t happen in Uzbek shows, I guess. At one point, Jamshidbek claimed that he doesn’t listen to music because it basically screws up your dopamine system, making you feel miserable. And that lady who is apparently a respectful guest? She calls him too immature and not enlightened enough for such notion. Like, ma’am, I wonder who is enlightened and who is not here… There are so many aspects I could bring up, but I’d run out of my fingers trying to count them all. And you guys probably wouldn’t read a long post anyway. But here’s the message: I couldn’t care less about such shows if it weren’t for me. The worst part is that these so-called highly enlightened individuals, production team included, are feeding this brainrot to the whole Uzbek nation. Next time you come across a short-minded, conservative Uzbek, you can put Uzbek TV shows at the top of your blame list. As long as our people keep consuming this level of mental decay, be ready to embrace only the ashes of “kelajagi buyuk O’zbekiston.” Kamoliddin was right, after all: adequate people don’t watch the Uzbek TV. #yeah #boycott_uzbek_shows

Reading is hard, indeed. Discipline is even harder. In the past, many used to tell me one seemingly cliché saying all the time: get uncomfortable, leave your comfort zone. I was maybe immature to crack the crux of the quote at that time, but now I get it. Each second spent feeling the discomfort adds to the progress. I hate every bit of time when I am in the gym. Comparing myself with others, I feel smaller, weaker, and skinnier, but the path to growth is made up of hundreds of days full of such emotion. The same in running. I have been running for over a year now (though not consistently or intensively), and I haven't met anyone who actually enjoys the process of running. Running is painful. It gives muscle contractions, soreness, and much more. But many avid runners have come to appreciate one aspect of it: the pain. For they know that with pain, with discomfort, comes better health. To taste the true flavor of success, we should first smell the scent of hardship. And so, our trip to Baghdad continues...

We reached the full capacity already yesterday. I just want to publicly announce that I am not accepting any more members.

I am organizing a little reading challenge to pull off the academic comeback. I'd be happy to see more people join us. We will be reading one book a week and discussing in meetings. I will also open a classroom for the reflections. Failing to fulfill the tasks even once will get you removed from the challenge. (Challenge is a challenge). Thus, if you are interested, dm me your ielts or sat score (I just need to make sure your english is good enough, nothing more). There is no any other requirement since I believe we will be down by half the size the next week. It is also the reason why I am taking more people. @hida_115

With my bro back in Baku. Congrats!

this one is for my family❤️ qatar🇶🇦

This is by the Grace of my Lord

Nay, guys. Duolingo is lowkey the hardest one. Let's end the debate

This post sparked a sudden debate between two niche communities on Uzbek Telegram. My honest take on the whole thing? The whole idea of comparing these two is rather useless. I don't think there is any point in even discussing which one is harder or vice versa. After all, you are not comparing trains and trucks and concluding which one is better. There simply is no reason to even think about. These two tests literally serve different purposes. IELTS tests your language proficiency, while SAT your academic one. And arguing outrageously over which one is better is the last thing you would want to do. Don't waste your energy and nerves over some futile debates. Save your energy for the coming iftar instead. Have a good one everyone!

Tashkent Marathon is happening very soon. The registration was closed, but they added a few more slots. Hurry if you want to register. If you are interested in joining our running club, send me a “+” in my dm. I will send you an application link. My dm: @hida_115

From the land that forgets to the place that remembers. Nietzsche would smile, Camus would nod—but forget them. You did the improbable. You turned into mammoth, ahaha. Let’s go

Amherst College Full Ride. Lets gooooo, lads. Thanks God.

Whenever the noise gets a little too loud, you start noticing things... I am not even joking if I say my telegram is the one-on-one representation of what Heidegger was damning in Being and Time—cacooned in Gerede, or “chatter”: never-ending circulation of talk, be it useful or not, that’s not really mine, consuming concerns that never belonged to me in the first place. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have stopped asking what matters to me and started worrying about what everyone else is worrying about. This whole situation left me unable to focus, and I mean it. So here’s a small reset. Temporarily leaving some channels and blogs. Maybe Heidegger was really right? Maybe it is just me being paranoid about all tiny details in my life? The cause doesn't matter, but what comes next does. See you around, and no hard feelings dear people.
