No Fans in Burma/Myanmar
Recently, I came in contact with Mr. Yerra Naidu who had spent his childhood in Burma. While having a conversation with him, I could recall old Tamil Classic movies which connects to Burma (Shivaji Ganeshan, NTR and so on). Many from South India especially Telugu and Tamil speaking had fed to Burma on employment and returned during 1970's or so after the war or during emergency declared in 1975. Many returned with Burma Teak wood and got big entrance doors well carved with Burma Teak and furniture made out of it. Well, Mr. Yerra Naidu who is now on a self imposed assignment of teaching Telugu through Burmese language to all the Telugu or Andhra native settlers in Burma. Now there are evening schools started in various places and many young generations are showing interest to learn their mother tongue!!! During our conversation, he narrated that in Burma people (Burma native and non native) don't use a ceiling fan or table fan even in peak summer...
