My father ws KO BaTin and my mother MA Hnin Sein. They lived in Pegu near Shwetharlyaung Poagoda. They sold Burmese rice cakes for a living. Both of them passed away while I was still an infant and I was adopted by KO Po Ohn and Ma Kyi Aung. I have one elder brother and one elder sister.my original parents were Indian Muslims and so my brother was called “Pathan” by one and all.
