It was very wise, and deep of you to send the above message to me.
Being a student writer (theatre, playwriting), I appreciate the power of
the message. Being a Burmese citizen, I empathize with the characters,
well. . all in all, yours break the monotony, if not fears and certainty,
common to all Burmese in a non-Burma landscape.
What do u read in College?

.. .and a very happy new year!
sincerely,
kyaw swa
