I would like to recall my first posting for this thread. Can anyone tell me if I was being disrespectful and impertinent? Here is my first response to KathKAT's comment in this thread :-
KathCAT,
There is no doubt about your intelligence that you were able to rank first in
the class and awarded with the scholarship for your further studies.
There is no reason to get debased for not studying in the eminent schools like
Xavier's, Budalinkantha and so on. However, I personally think that we need to
learn more than just the contents of books. A good citizen should be ready to
unravel any trammels he/she may encounter in his life. In our life we might
come up with the problem where our knowledge from the book makes no sense.
Therefore, we need to have knowledge in broad sectors to think critically,
analyzing the problem and solving it. St. Xavier's, Budalinkantha ,etc. provide enough skills to horn student's
potentiality in academic as well as non-academic field. I still remember that
when I was in Xavier's, one of our Father told us in our very first day of the
class "if you are here just to study and score distinction then you are in
the wrong place".
“Dedicated to excellence, social service and leadership†is
what Xavier’s motto, not “study hard and score distinctionâ€. That makes Xavier the best among the prestigious ones than other myriad schools mushrooming in Kathmandu.
Thank you gentlemen
And here is how he replied me showing off his anger and frustrations :-
"LAURE!!...there comes a another
xavierainn...they get hurt when somebody out done them. How i love
that. and if you think only xavierian gets good knowledge about rest of
the world, then you are completely wrong. I understand they engage you
in different extracurricular activites but that does not make you aware
about the rest of the world. it is not about western culture and rock
music, out side world also listen the folk music. I have some friends
from xavier’s too, and i realized what they think of themselves, a
relatively shallow..than any normal citizen from a rural village.
Moreover, you need to learn problem solving skills and ability to
resolve domestic issue first, rather than gathering even
the craps from the western world.
Yeah like you did, they often say father A told me like this father B, but laure, in nepal,
if you have ever been to rural village a small villager would teach you
a lot, worthy to remember for your entire life. I just wonder how many
Xavierain been and seen the reality outside the rock world and urban
area. So if you are also one of those, who has these weird xavierian
ego, i will ask you to walk out from that. yeah you people are good in
english and equally good in making fun of those who does not have good
English, but learning a language and knowing scrabble does not make u
smart ass! It is about your intellectual ability and brain…
Rather I feel they are so insecure and want to make their own group so
that they never have to be beaten by poor guy like me.
Sorry xavierns, people can't stand ur ego and u can't stand them outdoing you.
I feel sorry father, your few students are intellectually beaten to death by a poor fellow from rural village.
I encourage all those rural people who come from an ordinary govt
school; guys please do not feel low and humiliated. You can beat them
only if you think you can and only you WANT.
anyway laure, i have nothing personal about you, your system of education is like that you guys think you are from diff planet."
Look at his every sentence, he was humiliating and disrespecting us. Now, he is blaming us, Xavierians, for being rude and suggesting us to study "Naitik sikchhya", WTF idiot?. He is the one who compelled me to use "ghetto" language. "LAAT KO BHUUT BAAT LE MANDAINA"...RIGHT kathKAT?
