From my little corner I blog what I see.

" Writing Burma."
=============================
Dear readers,it had been more than thirty years since I left Burma and settled in U.K. and in that period of time,I have been back only three times to Burma.But this year due to some circumstances I've been back to Burma twice and I like it.I throughly enjoyed the weather, my childhood friends and relatives.Since I have no immediate family left there my parents had passed away and my only brother died quite recently.During my stay in Burma I realised that I know nothing about my own country.There is a big gap of thirty years between me and the country I was born.I have a lot to catch up.
Whatever the press says about Burma I still found it a place so full of mystical beauty.I want to write about it but apart from what I learned from books and newspapers,I have no actual knowledge of my own country and as a writer it is criminal to write about something that you don't really understand.It will be hypocrisy on my part if I do that.
So I have decided to go back there sometime early next year and hire a ten-seater van and travel up and down the country to see,feel, touch, and breathe the beauty ,the culture and the climate.Take photos and record it.Fill my mind with the essence of it before I start writing.I hope it works out as I planned.
Raymond Wunna.
