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 distinction”. 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?
