    Old Poem

    Be kind to your father
    For when you were young
    Who loved you as fondly as he
    He caught the first accent that fell from your tongue
    And joined in the heavenly glee

    Be kind to your father
    For now he is old
    His hair intermingled with grey
    His footsteps are feeble — Once fearless and bold
    Your father is passing away

    Morals & Manners

    We had to study “Morals & Manners” at St. Paul’s High School. Brother Austin rewarded those who could recite poems in the book.

    • “Lut Latt Yay Nay” (လွတ်လပ်ရေးနေ့ Independence Day) is celebrated in January. The Union Jack was lowered and the Union Flag was flown on January 4, 1948. The time 4:20 AM may have been suggested by an astrologer.

He offered the movie audience a free show if they could translate the Burmese titles into English. One submission was “Fly away bitter bird” (Pyan Lay dei Nget Khar ပျံလေတဲ့ငှက်ခါး)
    • My second visit was with my beloved spouse and two young sons. We stayed at the Bungalow owned by Amyotha Yoke Shin and managed by U Mya Maung (elder brother of Saya U Tin Htut).
