To make the most of my winter holiday, I am visiting as many new places as possible.

I hadn't thought that this place, a real desert, existed close to my village. It's only 30 km away.

However, it has lagged way behind modern life.

There is no proper road - mud tracks that become extremely slippery after rain/snow.

You can't find a single shop. There is a market on one day of the week.

Houses are spread out from each other. Your "neighbour" lives at least 1 km away from you.

Kids go to school on donkeys. The nearest one is 7-8 km away.

People living in this called their community Chorvador.


By the end of my trip, I felt so grateful to living in a place where I don't feel isolated from modern living facilities. When I compare my vilIage with Chorvador, I don't want to call it a "village".


When I ask the locals why they continue to live there despite all the hardship and struggles, they say it's the place where their parents, grandparents lived. Then I realised it makes sense...

📍Next Stop is Baxmal, Jizzakh region.

It's nice to see snow-capped mountains🏔

I don't post stories a lot on Telegram but like most of you, I know some facts about stories on social media.

The core idea of posting a story is to share something with others.

However, stories are now used by most people to

- validate something
- show off exaggerated and pretentious lifestyle
- exchange heated arguments with someone you had a fight(because you and him/her stopped chatting directly)
- try to convince others that you are a person with certain personality traits(through quotes/motivational words/wise sayings)


Most of the things that have been invented are being used for the purposes that the creators never intended...

We have reached the point where true creativity and imagination are being questioned as the work of AI.

When I see a great bio description on Spotify, I can't help but think it must be AI-generated/AI-refined.

Is it possible to distinguish human creativity from AI creativity?

Kanada zo'r qadam qilibdi: Xitoydan import qilinadigan EV avtomobillarga mavjud bo'lgan 100 foizlik bojni olib tashlamoqda. Bu endi Kanada yo'llarida ham BYD mashinalari yuradi degani.

Xitoy uchun ham Kanada uchun ham yaxshi yangilik. Kanadaliklarda endi raqobatli bozorda arzon va sifatli EV mashinalarga tanlov bo'ladi. Xitoy esa o'ziga Shimoliy Amerikadan yangi bozor topdi.

Tesla korxonasiga ham qiyin bo'ladi endi. Yevropa bozorini BYDga yoqotishayotgan edi, endi raqobat biqiniga, Shimoliy Amerikaga kirib kelmoqda.

Raqobatli va erkin bozor hammaga kerak.

AQShning ahmoqona tarif siyosati Xitoyga qo'l kelyapti, yangi hamkorliklar ochilyapti.
