Dr. Chit Swe
Sayagyi was my mentor at UCC.
He invited over renowned computer scientists [led by Professor Harry D. Huskey, Pioneer in Computer Hardware, Software and Teaching] and mathematicians [e.g. Professor Frank Harary, Expert in Graph Theory] to Rangoon to hold seminars and to design courses in computer science and applications. Michael Stonebraker (then at UC Berkeley) gave a short course on Ingres (an early Relational Data Base Management System) at UCC. A few years back, he won the prestigious “ACM Turing Award” (which is considered as the equivalent of Nobel Prize in Computing).
He taught us to use CPM/PERT (Critical Path Method/Programme Evaluation and Review Technique) for the various projects.
Saya asked me to assist in several of his projects. To name a few, I was a translator/ reviewer for CTK (Children’s Treasury of Knowledge) I served as an editor for “High School Mathematics” I was a member of TOSS (Team Of System Specialists)
Saya passed away in November 2019, but his Legacy as Pioneer for Computer Systems, Application and Education in Burma will last forever.

Rice is the staple food of Burma. What about Mohinga မုန့်ဟင်းခါး ?
Most people eat Mohinga for breakfast. A few can eat Mohinga any time of the day — breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Breakfast in Windsor
In 2015, Ivan Lee (M69, New Jersey), Fred Thetgyi (M69, Philadelphia), my spouse and I (from California) visited Windsor, Canada to pay respect to Sayagyi U Aung Khin (Former Professor and Head of Mechanical Engineering at the Rangoon Institute of Technology.
Sayagyi’s Mohinga
Sayagyi allowed my spouse and I to sleep at his guest room. He got up early to prepare Mohinga and Ah Kyaw အကျော် (Fries) for breakfast for the four of us. He also gave us mementos from Windsor.
Cost of Mohinga
During our younger days, plain Mohinga used to cost 15 pyas. With Ah Kyaw, we would pay 25 pyas.
Special recipe
Most vendors cannot match the taste of the Buthee Kyaw ဗူးသီးကျော် using a formula by a cousin aunt to accompany the Mohinga cooked by my beloved father and his assistants.
The best part is that we do not have to pay for the sumptuous “all you can eat” meal.
Variety
There are a variety of ways to prepare and cook Mohinga.
Some variables are
choice of fish ငါး အမျိုးအစား : Hinthada ဟင်္သာတ uses up to three kinds of fish. Some places use minimal fish. A few — notably Dr. Htay Lwin Nyo (EP74, GBNF) — tried to have a layman’s Mohinga using canned fish.
choice of “San Hmont” ဆန်မှုန့် or “Pei Hmont” ပဲမှုန့်
use of “Ngan Pya Yay” ငံပြာရည် and condiments
some add ကြက်သွန်ဥ & ငှက်ပျောဖတ်နုနု
mode of cooking for a small group or a large group of people
how to keep it fresh (without getting spoiled due to inclement weather).
Mohinga Story
There’s a story that is near and dear to me.
My spouse’s maternal grandma အဖွား was oblivious to the political, social & economic changes. Every morning, she would call a grand child. She would open her little purse inside a big purse, and then unwrap two or three layers of paper to get her money. She would dole out ten pyas ဆယ်ပြား to buy Mohinga for her.
One day she could not finish a spoonful of Mohinga. Her breath slowly faded with her head resting on my lap. There was no sigh. She passed away gently.
My spouse belongs to the elite company of Mohinga lovers. She enjoys Mohinga for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Mohinga Lover
I have a fear စိုးရိမ်ပူပန်စိတ် for the day when she might refuse to have Mohinga & follow her grandma.
Daw Khin Khin Kyu ခင်ခင်ကြူ (Ann, A67) related the sad story of her younger brother.
He had two invitations.
One was to attend his niece’s wedding in Australia. His older brother U Thein Han ဦးသိန်းဟန် played Basketball for Burma မြန်မာ့လက်ရွေးစင် and taught Mathematics at RIT ရန်ကုန်စက်မှုတက္ကသိုလ်သင်္ချာဆရာ
Another one was to join a group to visit Burma.
Since he had not been back to Burma for a very long time, he decided to join the group.
They stayed at a hotel on Pyay / Prome Road ပြည်လမ်း
In the late evening, he had an urge to look for a Mohinga မုန့်ဟင်းခါး shop. The group leader told him that they would have Mohinga the next morning.
He left the hotel. After a couple of hours, someone informed that there had been an accident on Pyay Road, and that Ann’s brother had passed away unexpectedly.
