While Tajik Air is short on some amenities that you would expect an airline to offer its customers (a reservation system, for instance), it does have its own in-flight magazine, with an assortment of articles in Russian, Tajik and English. My favorite was a piece on Rumi, the Persian mystic and poet who was born on the territory of modern-day Tajikistan 800 years ago. I offer an excerpt, with a big preemptive (sic):
In his short stories [Rumi] invites people to study and there is no better way for human than knowledge. Here below I tell you the story about deaf and a sick man in brief: Once a deaf man's beibour became ill, naturally the deaf man wanted to go and pay a visit to his neighbour So one day he thought to himself and prepared questions, simultenuously answers to his questions and went to see his ill neibour:
Deaf. Hello.
Sick. Hi.
D. How are you feeling? Are you going to be better?
S. No I feel myself worse and worse every day.
Deaf. Oh its wonderful.
D. Who is your doctor?
S. Azroil 1(According to islam a person who comes to dieing man and take his or her soul)
D,He is the best doctor.
What's your medicine?
S.Zahru zuqum (such fruit people eat in hell)
