Guys! at a first place I thought this thread was total useless.

 

But it seems it has  uncovered many hidden things which have been lying beneath the cover. 1.Some ego (may be pride) of xavierain and 2. humiliation/complexity faced by people like kathCAT ( if he is true). Both of their arguments are valid in many respects.

 

It is quite natural that if you go to good school you would feel proud about that but that does not mean you should show that to that limit when other one starts  feeling being edged out or get irritated. We see that very feeling is coming out from some of the Xavierians, which is OK, but time and again their saying “ we” “ we the xavierian” also depict their  underlying ego/pride. If you do that someone might feel as if being xavierian you people want to have some separate space in the society. This is also not a plausible thing to do.  

 

kathCAT, while I am really impressed with your research on non SXV  heros( like devkota to pun)  one thing you should know, you can not generalize. They can be role model for both for xavierain and non xavierain. I understand being non xavierain you would certainly want to emphasize that part which is OK. But more than that, they are Nepali. We all gotta be proud of that! It seems that you had very bad experience with some xavierians and you somewhere showing your frustration too.

 

Like I said, we also had one xavierian/MIT teacher but he is not even a worth mentioning and it is also true he is getting exposure and opportunities because  he went to MIT. Yeah we used to get frustrated ( also people like ranii who went to mary’s)sometime to see that happening yet we can not generalize.

 

 I also have some xavierian friends who are good. I know one xavierian who was a complete jerk.  The good xavierian guy never used to mention a lot about him being xavierien, his breadth of knowledge was very impressive, very up to date, he could sing heavy metal to jhalak man gandarv( on contrary to kathCAT belief)  and he was very part of our friend circle. Whereas this jerk time and again used to mention about him being xaveirain, yet he was completely dumb, he  would always use his school name mere as a shield, just to show that he is from xavier’s, kind of  following the same foot steps of the teacher that I mentioned above. This guy used to speak from the hat which he never wears. My point is how can we generalize? They both were too diff people with completely different attitude but from the same school. I think they are like that not because of their schooling, because their attitude and character. Even they had gone some other school they would have been like that. This has nothing (or very little) to do with your schooling. Your personal experience may have been bitter but can not stereotype.  So let us respect each other and not generalize.

 

Gyani keta! Gov paisa nakhadima des ko sewa nagarne, yo kura lai milena ni hoina! School ta des main cha ni hoina?

 

The point is we all need to contribute!

Peace!
