102 Years Today Grandma Was Born

(Grandma with old hair style.) 1st May of 1915, her birthday now comes. Grandpa was also born on the same year. So we held their 100th anniversary on 2015, and I wrote a book, ‘A Memory of My Grandparents’ and published successfully in 2015. (Here, successfully did not mean all books sold out. It only meant it comes out 1000 copies on time. By the way, the family was fully satisfied for my book appeared in time.). ('A Memory of My Grandparents' by Junior Win, 2015) (100th Anniversary of grandparents in 2015.) Grandma’s real name was Ma Khin Mya. She was born at Sagaing, Upper Burma. She had 3 brothers, and one sister, and she was the eldest. Grandma never mentioned about her mother whenever she talked about her family. It meant she did not love her mother. It does not mean she also did not love her father. What I know was she only kept the photo of her father in her own album. (Her father in police uniform.) She had grandparents from her father’s side lived in M...

The Adventure of My Practicing Sunlun Way of Vipassana Meditation (2)

I seem to be always writing about myself, my dear readers? I hope someone who may read what I write will understand that these adventures contain a great deal about me. I would have you to know that since I was a little girl indeed, I seldom dared to open my heart to anybody else except to my readers. You will always be a lucky person at all as long as you are my reader. The adventure of my practicing Sunlun way of Vipassana Meditation in the memories of my childhood was not as smooth as silk. But I never felt ashamed to recall my memories, and write down openly to my readers. My Childhood Memory Our Venerable Monk - Sunlun Sayadaw U Vinaya (1914, 5th August Wednesday - 2012 6th October Saturday) (Sayadaw at 59 years of monkhood.) Sunlun Sayadaw U Vinaya (Former Head of Kaba Aye Sunlun Gu Kuyaung Meditation Centre, 7th Miles) showed us how to practice meditation for total 100 minutes; 50 minutes for breathe hard, and another 50 minutes for keeping full mindf...

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 ...

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.

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...

The wind blew dangerously last few days, and people were afraid of the to-be-cyclone. But luckily the rain suddenly dropping, and the weather became cool. We were happy at the moment, looking forward the Thingyan flowers called ‘Padauk’ would be seen in the market. ‘Padauk’ was...
