IM(1) Field Trip in the 60s
- Dr. Thane Oke Kyaw Myint (SPHS60) graduated from the Institute of Medicine 1 in 1967.
- IM(1) medical students took a field trip.
- They played a “friendly” football match where legs were hovering near the heads.
Field Trip of IM(1) Students - The referee could not give “red cards” to spoil the match, and had to be contented giving out “yellow cards” and also be prepared to run away from the crowd once the match ended.
- Despite having a reasonably good goal keeper, the IM(1) team lost by 8 goals. The locals graciously hosted a sumptuous dinner to brag their victory and hospitality.

Indian Deities
By Dr. Thane Oke Kyaw Myint (SPHS60, IM67)
The trinity of Hindu Goddesses
- Suraswati; goddess of wisdom and learning
- Lakshmi: goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity
- Parvati: goddess of love, fertility and devotion
Two other significant god and goddess
- Ganesh: remover of obstruction, intellect and wisdom
- Kali: goddess of time, creation, destruction and power.
Durga puja for Kali is one of the biggest puja in South India and also in Burma. The Kalima temple is on 29th Street in Rangoon.
Hanuman
While Hanuman is mentioned in Mahabharata, it was not in the pantheon of Hindu gods. Yet, in Kandawlay Rangoon, we have a Hanuman temple.

What Buddhism is

is neither self-mortification nor self-indulgence.
is neither pessimism nor optimism but realism.
is neither absolutely this-worldly nor other-worldly.
is not extrovert but introvert.
is not theo-centric but homo-centric.
is a unique Path of Enlightenment.
