– Well, what are we going to do? How much do they owe you?

Today my mother came to visit and told me another hadeeth (she is Muslim, a haji).
In the city of Medina, where the Prophet Muhammad spent his last years, a blind old man, a Jew, was living by begging. He did not like Islam and Muslims. Every day, …

- 20 January 2015 - 21:17
- #Friendship #society #West
I remember when my friends and I were younger, we often invited each other to a restaurant with families. A joint meal brings together, and is a good time for heartfelt conversations.
But every time after the feast, we started the Kazakh folk game: “I’ll pay!”. We vying with each other tore …

I have two friends. Both are lawyers. Both are very competent. But their views of life are completely different.

- #morality #traditions
I look at some young high-ranking officials and remember myself in their situation.
Just appointed to a high position. Congratulations of friends and acquaintances. Pride of relatives. Attention at all events.

- #society #upbringing
How is it that we have become a toothpick to “the Kazakh national instrument”?
Many men (and even women !!!) often demonstrate their virtuosity in front of the audience sitting at the table with them. Even in some expensive restaurants, toothpicks are openly put on the table together with a …

Modesty of athletes.

I sincerely rejoice and I am proud of the Kazakhstani athletes who have reached the world level.
But one aspect upsets.
Apparently there they fall into the paws of foreign promoters and begin to play by their rules. They writhe menacing faces on the screen, gaze intently into the eyes of the enemy, shout: “I am …
