I conform to that spadgie story. I recall Cutinho saying the same. Not sure if a Paulite first noticed it but surely 'chatawala' came from North Pointers. During my years at NP wht I found the main diff between NP & SP were that while we were the quirky and infectious lot, Paulites never came down from their pedestal. I think its pretty much due to each school's culture. We were always fresh and open and dominated everything from sports to studies to women, we hardly saw Paulites achieving anything real. Guess Paulites had this huge aristocracy baggage from the past that bogged them down. Even after passing out I found Paulites very difficult to get up on their feet simply coz they couldnt mix around easily. But no doubt they were all nice guys. Maybe coz Paulites never came out of their nest. Contrary since we had a lot of day scholars, we were always sensitized to local way of living and anyone snooty was easily pulled to the ground. I also never understood why Paulites always made it a point to compare with NP in a derogatory fashion. For eg Sursum Corda is so nice here but Samsara cant help showing a condescending attitude. Get a life my friend, you'll be happier. hehe just kidding, I'm sure you're not as bad as you sound But the point is we're all from Darj schools and only love should be flowing right now, but we cant really get over the rivalry can we?? Peace!!
