Mom was so worried about me that she would not leave the house. But when Khoji Aka came back from Moscow on vacation, he gave me a name, got my birth certificate, and told my mother that I would live. How funny! I graduated from the Faculty of Chemical Technology at the Tashkent Polytechnic Institute in 1977 and started working for the Central Asian Research Institute. I actively worked in the Komsomol organization after I was transferred to an elected post. From 1993 to 1999, I was the deputy head of the Secretariat and head of the office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan. I have loved children all my life. While studying at the institute, I spent all five years and three seasons at a pioneer camp working as a pioneer courier. I like to sew; it’s a talent I inherited from my mother. I sew and embroider for my soul’s sake. As you can see, sometimes, I write. This book is my first. In it, I write mainly about the life and work of the famous film director Khoji Ahmar. I thoughtfully and scrupulously conducted research and interviewed relatives, friends, and acquaintances. This book also contains what I have learned about our large family and my beautiful, beloved, and dear people and their values, loves, relationships, tireless activity, successes, and achievements. Writing has always intrigued me, so here’s my shot at it. I have a daughter and a son and grandkids who were born in the United States. I love them all very much.
