The Diary of that Girl!

Blood in the soil and soul!

The window in our classroom

Paves room for serene scenery;

Plump majestic mountains,

Across the border it pertains,

The tragic story remains

As calm as the blood in our soil.

Declining with the emotional turmoil,

A sea has vanished in the country,

In the so cleped terrorist territory.

And the world didn’t bother

Of the terrorism that writhed

Us – The Communist regime!

The once 60 million heritor,

Barely has a 18 million.

Kazakhstan it is,

The end tis.

– Read the diary of that Kazakh girl. (PS: I wrote it :/)

Facts time!

The name Kazakhstan rhymes perfectly with Pakistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, thus often mistaken to be a terrorist territory.

Kazakhstan is in the central Asia. It’s total population now barely sums up to 18 million with land space bigger than that of France! In the last century, the citizens never had the right to complain.

The traumatizing jolt is that an entire sea vanished. Poof! True. The death of the bluest ever Aral sea still remains as the biggest environmental tragedy. The Amu-Darya and Syr-Darya, the 2 rivers that feed the Aral sea, were diverted to irrigate cotton plantations by the Communist government, which failed terribly.  The excessive sandstorms, due to the absence of sea, deposits tons of salt and dust every year till now.

Everyone born in the country feels what the land felt, because every Kazakh carries the land in his blood. The plains and the famous steppes were shaken tremendously for nearly 40 yrs by the thermonuclear bombs. Yes. Around 450 bombs were tested here till 1989, of which 116 bombs tested in open space had the radiations 2500 times stronger than those dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Hiroshima Nagasaki tragedy was worse in itself; and this unjust to the land is the worst.

Kazakhstan has blood in its soil and every Kazakh has the soil in the blood.

Blood in soil and soul!

Note : Just another random musing it is. Seems like this stuff bored you! Sorry if it actually did bore you. Still, hope you learnt something about the “land of wanderers” in this post. Thanks for your time!
