It was the only way to calm myself dawn. And on those days, a feature film based on a story I wrote was shot and is still being shown on state television as a topical film. My drama \u2018The Bird That Didn\u2019t Fit in the Sky\u2019 was my first work in this field. It was also very well received by the audience and has not left the stage for more than a decade!<\/p>\n<p>Well, the days when I couldn\u2019t write a poem made me a writer\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ana Magdin: In 2004 you received the Medal of Glory from the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and in 2016 the commemorative medal \u201e25 Years of Uzbekistan\u2019s Independence\u201d.

And because of Pushkin, I fell in love with literature. When I was at school, I literally learned Pushkin word by word. I lived with every letter. And when I got older, I was even jealous of Pushkin from the girls in his works and tried to kill myself. As I read the coffin-maker, I could hear the coffin-maker\u2019s hammer knocking as he made the coffin. Most surprisingly, I used to see the heroes of Pushkin\u2019s works in my dreams. I could talk to them and be friends. They knew me as Pushkin\u2019s closest person and asked me to tell Pushkin that they wanted to be happy\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ana Magdin: \u201cIt was raining and I bought a picture of Pushkin from an old woman selling old curiosities on the street.

I had many situations relating to Pushkin. Even that day, when I was leaving with my daughters, a woman who had gone out of her way was selling a picture of Pushkin, in addition to her old things.

I can\u2019t even brag in my current writing situations. Because, the above sixteen years have taken my heart. I am afraid to remember now and face this situation again.

Every minute that passes amazes me. We didn\u2019t know how to live because we were living in this world for the first time. We lived as we knew. I tried to get into myself more. I tried to listen to my inner world. But as I got inside, I didn\u2019t recognize myself.
