CMR

The relationship between “the men on horseback” and the “elected officials” should always be like this. No matter how we are different in showing respect, each of us are deserved to and to be paid it. This photo shall be a symbolic image of our dream signaling that it would come true in the near future.

Salute the photographer!!!

DSA 60 Intake Graduation

Congratulations The 60th Intake
.
This photo was taken many years ago. Thanks to the photographer and the Ministry of Information for taking this impressive picture and granting me copy this photo.

There are three (big) flags in the picture. The flag hoisting by the officer cadets in the parade ground is the old national flag of Myanmar and it lasted on 21 September 2010. Out of two more flags in the top-left corner of the picture, the left one is the flag of the Defence Services Academy - စစ္တကၠသိုလ္.

What is the right flag?

the Last Leaf

The autumn leaves have gone.
The new buds are coming out.
But wait !!!
They will hibernate for the whole winter and wait for the spring very patiently to make the world full of Sakura flowers.

Sleeping Bed

စာဖတ္ရင္ အိပ္ခ်င္တယ္
အိပ္ယာဝင္ရင္ စာေတြေတြးၿပီးအိပ္မေပ်ာ္ဘူး
အဲဒီေတာ့

Lesson from the National Day ???

Thanks to the Rangoon College students and the people of 1920 for uplifting national and patriotic spirit through the boycott of the Rangoon University Act. Moreover the establishment of a national college, schools, and national education council is also appreciable. It is said that the general public gave full support to the boycott.
.
The above history knowledge is taught at today's schools. But what is not taught is how and why the national college did not last long. Financial issue was the main cause of the national college disappearance.
.
Despite full support of the people, the national college disappeared. Was the people's support merely lip service? Could not the founders manage the college well enough?
.
What lessons should we teach ourselves and our descendants from the National Day event?
