By: Harry Hpone Thant
Soon it will be Thingyan again. Most people know Thingyan as water festival time, the weather is unbearably very hot and dusty and everybody who ventures out onto the road is greeted with a bucket of water over his head or ambushed by jets of water from children lucking by. Actually, Thingyan is the Myanmar New Year and celebrated all over the country.
It is also the time for April showers to make the Padauk blossoms bloom and perfume the air with their delicate scent. The Padauk flower usually blooms at April when Myanmar celebrates their Newyear Water festival. Usually, yellow bright flower blooms all around Myanmar with very sweet smell and people’s offers to Buddha images and women also attached that yellow bright flower to their hair.
