A Visit To The Shwedagon Pagoda

(Still crowded, and crowded at the pagoda platform whether it rained heavily or under the bad weather.) People visited to the Shwedagon Pagoda frequently. Paying respect at the foot of the pagoda is one of the ways of Buddhist life. People crowded at the Pagoda platform every time we visited. Practice meditation, offering flowers, candles, incenses or colorful things, or walking on the pagoda platform mostly as keeping the Shwedagon Pagoda at the right side, or praying, etc that Buddhists usually do. (Watering stupa, and mythical symbol, at the birthday corner.) When I was young, I went to the Shwedagon pagoda with my friends the time final examination finished. We prayed, and wished for what we wanted at the foot of the pagoda. Surely we were wishing to pass the examination with distinction, or with credit. (We wish everything we want at the foot of the pagoda.) Today, I was going to ...

A Memory of My Grandparents (5) (U) Khin Maung Latt and (Daw) Khin Myo Chit (Writer of Colourful Burma)

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...

A Tribute to U Thet Htun (1926 – 2012)

(A Tribute Book to U Thet Htun – 2015) U Thet Htun, was a retired ambassador of France, Switzerland, and a writer of ‘Waves of Influence’ which won the National Literary Prize in the category of English language books in 2011. I came to meet him as neighbor-friend when he worked as a Chairman of the Htun Foundation. It was 2008 - my translated book ‘Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland’ won a Children Literary award from Htun Foundation. It so happened to meet him for the first time in person. He lived at our neighbor-road. I went to his house to introduce myself, and give him the copy of my winning book. But I was so afraid to meet a great man! His house was surrounded by big and small trees, and followed by narrow sandy road, and I saw some coconut trees in his garden. Such a natural green surrounding comforted my fears. Aw…. natural beauties can smooth the human’s mind! He was tall, and handsomest old man I had ever seen. His kindly voice gave me courage to sit near h...

(Art - Suu Chit Thu) Min Lu (1954- 2013) – famous writer and poet passed away on August 14, 2013, after only 3 days of the death of Maung Wuntha – writer and journalist. Min Lu, Burmese novelist, essayist, and critic, whose brilliant critical writings always made his readers smile and laugh. I had been his reader since I was a University student. His romantic novels achieved young readers’ interest from generation to generation. I believed he always stood with people by seeing his writings. I heard that he never went abroad even he was invited to give speech in foreign countries. I was told that he lastly chose to go Thailand to cure his illness; lung cancer. When I heard the news of his illness, I felt deeply sorry not only for him but also for his family. I admired him as my favorite writer, and his decent life. I remember the poem ‘Fame and Friendship’, by Henry Austin Dobson, and want to honor him with deep sympathy. ‘He had no stomach f...

A Letter To My Grandmother; You Will Never Know What We Have Lost (Grandma titled, ‘Will you ever know what you have lost?’ at the Working People’s Daily newspaper in the July of 1975 about the earthquake that destroyed the old pagodas of Pagan.) My grandma, Khin Myo Chit – writer of Colourful Burma- wrote ‘Will you ever know what you have lost?’ at the Working People’s Daily newspaper in the July of 1975 about the severe earthquake that destroyed many of the old pagodas of Pagan. In the article, she lettered to her grandchildren that she was so unhappy for hearing the news of the earthquake strike at Pagan where she was dreaming of taking her twins-grandchildren to enjoy the historical place of Pagan. The earthquake so happened at the evening of 6:35 PM on the 7th May of 1975. She always said to me that her great grandfather, great scholar, and archaeologist, taught her to love Pagan. Because of his teaching, and explanation of archaeological discoveries of old Pagan, she could later...

Our True Burmese Singer – Khin Maung Toe

(Photo – Khin Maung Toe – our true Burmese singer – His sunglasses and his hair style were his always fashion of singing on stage with his songs together.) I was told, you were dead, my dear singer, I heard this bitter news and so to say how sorry I am. I remembered, how often I listened to your songs as the Burmese rhythms and beats, Calm and gentle as a mountain, you speak. Among the hiphop, rap and rock and roll, Your songs were always best and wonderful. ‘MaharSuanThu’(To the Unsympathetic and Insensitive Lass) and ‘MyatThwe’(Pearls) Were your famous lovely songs that I love still and listen in. And now that thou art lying at rest, But still thy pleasant voices alive to eternity, Sad mortality cannot oversway your lovely songs away.
