Asalamu alaikum Usbakistan.And when I say namaste to Usbakistan, I know that we teach things to people when they come. First time when Usuzbekistan was introduced to me and Tashkan was mentioned, I didn't know much about the country.

[Music] For a long time, I've always thought of as life as a puzzle, but a very special kind of puzzle. A puzzle where we can't see a picture in the box. And why do I say this.So, when we start life, like we're basically just learning new things. We're taking in information from the world. We're seeing the things that we like and the things that we don't like and then we somewhere along the way we come up with our personality or as I would say our way of interacting with the world.So why did I even come up ...
