Cartoon Festival in U Ba Gyan Street

U Ba Gyan, Burmese Cartoonist (1902 – 1953) U Ba Gyan was a famous Burmese cartoonist of all time. If he were still alive, he might be now a hundred and eleven years old. He was wise and learned and above all was gifted with irrespressible wit and humour. He dared to point out the way of sanity and better judgment. He always declared that he drew cartoons for the country, not for money. He never worked as government servant, because if he accepted, he believed he could not have better judgment for the country. Here, I proudly add that he and my grandparents were very friendly to each other. I was told that he always visited my grandparents’ house ‘Aye Yeik Tha’, and he often drew cartoons for my father. My father said U Ba Gyan taught him how to draw cartoons by drawing left or right hand side of the face and remaining of it was for my father to draw. That is the way U Ba Gyan taught my father to become a great cartoonist that my father did not become. Bu...

Related Link; 2023 June Updated Youtube Video https://juniorwin-english.blogspot.com/2023/06/dhamma-dana-by-junior-win.html (2023 June Related Video) (A Pagoda at Myingyan) I received letters from my readers who discussed with me the ‘ Sunlun Way of Vipassana Meditation ’ , and I heard their interest about the Sunlun Sayadaw; U Vinaya.

The Night She Rest In Peace; Longing for a Burmese Poet – Kyi Aye

(Kyi Aye (13th December 1929 – 2016)) (A photo of Kyi Aye (left), and the sketch of her (right), the artist – unknown) A very rare woman poet in Burma, Kyi Aye, an old friend of my grandparents, once lived together at Aye-Yeik-Tha in the year around 1950. She was at that time, a Rangoon University student attending a bachelor of arts. She later studied at University of Medicine, and became a doctor. My grandma and she were closed friends. Grandma admired her because of her strong ambition in the education, and her beautiful literary works and her own successful household life with 8 children (including a pair of twins.). Grandma and she discussed about literature for a long time until she left Burma (1970?). Kyi Aye had been already writing poems and romance since her high school. Her romantic poems were famous for not only her writings, but also for the artistic feelings themselves. While I was reading her poems in my younger days, I thought Omar Khayyam was reborn as our poet, Kyi ...

Sequel: Grandma Met a Good Teacher at Aye-Yeik-Thar

K (U Khin Zaw) (1905 – 1989) My grandma – Khin Myo Chit (writer) met U Khin Zaw who was the Director of the Burmese Broadcasting Service (BBS) when she lived at Aye-Yeik-Thar (peaceful villa) in 1950. Aye-Yeik-Thar was a well-known place where writers, poets, journalists, cartoonist, even politicians once lived together. Here, let me introduce one of Aye-Yeik-Thar friends who became grandma’s best friend, and also her teacher. His name was U Khin Zaw. He was one of famous scholars, and best English writers of Burma. He wrote Burmese Culture: General and particular under the pen name K, and was published by Sarpay Beikman Board, Rangoon in 1981. Grandma always mentioned his name as her teacher as well as her benefactor. He encouraged her, and also corrected grandma’s writing. Grandma showed her short story in English to K, and asked for checking. She hoped to see his full-correction, and wanted to have her story be more readable, and beautiful. But K only ticked a few ...

Seasonal Flower in Rainy Season

(Wa-zou-ban flowers in rainy season. Very rare to see Purple colored Wahso in Rangoon.) Especially flowering in the rainy season, Wa-zou-ban (herbaceous plants) are sold every corner of the market. People love to buy them, and offered at their household shrines. Its color was mixed with white and orange. It looks like a bell, and hung beautifully by its pattern. Bearing purple blossoms was a rare to see in Rangoon, we can call it ‘country Wa-zou-ban’. (Wa-zou-bans are popular and have best attraction in the market place.) Wa-zou-bans are easy to plant in the garden. Its stem can be grown naturally in the soil. We can plant again and again their stems, and it will grow, and increase in the next rainy season, or sometimes it quickly blossoms if it gets water enough. (Easy to grow in the garden.)

A Life-Long Partner

(1985, My loving grandparents - U Khin Maung Latt, and (Daw) Khin Myo Chit (writer)) ‘Colourful Burma’ (1976) was my grandma’s famous book in the history of all time. The book was reprinted again and again until now. She wrote traditional Burmese styles, cultural things, and Buddhism in the book. Grandma used famous phrases, words from poems, and plays from English literature. She devoured English Literature since she was young. Although grandpa was an English teacher, he could not write as grandma do. But he helped grandma, and gave assistance whenever grandma needed. (The first edition of Colourful Burma 1976 (left), and second edition of Colourful Burma 1978 (right)) In 1996, ‘Burma’ and ‘Burmese’ were no longer permitted to use in our country. They had to be changed to ‘Myanmar’. At that time, I saw my grandparents were not happy for those changes. They did not want to change the name into ‘Myanmar’. I perceived there were grandma’s books were included ‘Burma’ or ‘Burme...

Some Part of Their Life and Their Meeting (My grandparents in 1939.) My Grandfather (U) Khin Maung Latt (My grandfather with a smile.) While my grandfather was working as a clerk at Bombay Burma Company, towards the end of 1939 labour troubles grew. The workers of the Burma Oil Company, one of the leading British forms went on strikes. He took part in it although English government did not allow their government workers involved in the uprising. He was forced to quit because of his taking part in riot. Before long he joined the Workers’ Union. I always was heard from my grandpa that when he was working as a clerk in the British government company, they were not allowed the employees reading political books in the working hour. It meant that after the office hour, could read what they liked. Until he was married to my grandma in 1939, he did not get the degree yet. My grandma was not yet graduated too. Their education was pa...
