It's kind of a hype that products of these so called "great" schools are always good.Well my xavier's experience has been a bit different. The kids get in there when they are really young,,most of them in grade 1, when it's kind of hard to tell who is smart, hardworking and who is not..and a few more gets in at grade 6 in jawalakhel.(.It was the way back then,,dont know how it is these days that it is a not a perfect boka school paradise anymore). The guys who were on top of the class in academics early on did not end up like that by the time we hit SLC,,and of course the crap in SLC did not mean a thing when we faced ISc stuff. and so on..So it would be a bit too overstated to say that these schools take in only the best,,specially as kids can shape themselves up in any way tough or easy,,depending on the environment,. No doubt that many of the kids who get in there are from elite class..well ..(i was not one of them)

Anyways I myself was a mediocre in most of the stuff,,but the days at school are still the best days of my life,,Never really struggled to get the best things,,but well now when I look back at the things it's a waste trying to judge a person based on some elementary school that he attended..But tyai ho,,nepal remains nepal.. People still think that it is better to be able to show off driving a (dont know what's the latest car..) in the crowded street than to do something to make someone else's life better.
