The Great Burmese Poet

---that I admire the most is Sayar Zaw Gyi. Luckily, he is a grand father of my colleague from high school (Gosh! I miss her(H.Y.M), I wonder where she is now), so I asked my friend to get me an autograph from my favorite poet of all time, her grand father --- and I got one. It is an authentic autograph for me from Sayar Zaw Gyi. One of my favorite poems from Sayar Zaw Gyi's collection is "Tine-thi-bar-ye"(meaning 'the whole world know it all). He was famous for the poem, "Bay-dar-lann", which was made into the song, and a famous movie using the poem as a theme. Such a great poet,--- one of a kind.

Vintage Wine

Life is sweet ... a process of long concentration over the time. We say 'Hi', then we say 'Bye' to the world, to the people, to the love ones at one point. Like the sun, which rises in the eastern horizon till it reaches the bright full noon, which eventually has to set in the west with a graceful arrays of light. Just like a rose, which blooms from the youthful bud to a fully bloom flower, and which then has to wither bravely petal by petal. Experiences are collected over the time, inside the inner depth of our mind, in our heart,--- in our soul. The end of the road is the same station where everyone gets off holding the unique ticket which again leads to where --- nobody knows. Uncertainty is the beauty, the lethal attraction that we hooked on. When things become certain, life becomes boring and unappealing to most of us. We are insanely in love with uncertainty because it can shake us, it can break us, or it can even take us to our beyond believe and our wild imaginations. No matter what it takes, we live on, --- we all live on,--- waiting for tomorrow, singing Annie's beautiful song unknowingly, faintly in our hearts: 'Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, it's only a day away---'.
