Just out of curiosity:
If you, the ladies, were to choose a guy from either BNKS or STX, which school would he be from??
KaLaNkIsThAn Posted on 17-Jul-03 08:34 AM

They'd chooose vanasthalian!!
and durbar high school and AVM and RIBS and Anandakuti and..... insted!
hehe!!

This thread is discriminating the students who went to the other schools!
Kyaa bore, hamro ta chaanas nai naaaune jasto cha!!!

(do you still want the ressham song? hmm!! dinna ke aba!) grrr
john doe Posted on 17-Jul-03 08:54 AM

hey Sixx, I went to both, and I have Nepal Government-notarized certificates to prove it!. Does that mean I get the wild card and get to move to the front of the line?

Get over it, Kalankisthan, this boat has sailed! ;)
boke Posted on 17-Jul-03 09:03 AM

Sixx,

What a dumb question. Makes me wonder if you have anything remotely resembling a brain between your ears.

sixx Posted on 17-Jul-03 09:09 AM

no no, discriminating other schools was never my intention, Kalanki. I personally went to Little Angels....I was a baby angel then. The only reason I brought up this topic was because I could see that majority of the crowd at the ANA convention was from these schools. I personally like boys from STX (no offense).
boston_dude Posted on 17-Jul-03 09:41 AM

Maybe, just maybe:

"Your heart says STX,
Your head says BNKS!"

On a more serious note, you should not be "choosing", but if are... well then, might as well go for the green! $$$ I mean, not the card :)

khimu Posted on 17-Jul-03 09:52 AM

ani sixx why do you like STX boys,, are they handsome, attractive or just you like them.

dhani dhani bauko chhora chhori hunchhan kina na maan paros hai SIXX, good luck.
suva chintak Posted on 17-Jul-03 10:29 AM

If you ask me, the choice is clear:

Those ladies who prefer the missionary position would choose the STX,
while those who are more into 'malai Nepali maya chahincha' would
pick the Buddha boys!

Injest!
sixx Posted on 17-Jul-03 10:46 AM

WOoww! back up now. Don't you think you guys are taking this topic a little too personally? This has got nothing to do with rich-man's son or anything of that sort.

This is an age old question for St. Mary's girl. Here is what Budha guys used to say. Flirt with St. Mary's girl and marry a girl from Mahendra Bhawan.
thapap Posted on 17-Jul-03 11:16 AM

sixx... couple of questions for you
1. Don't you think, its actually real childish to consider guys, based on which school they went to?

2. Btw, how did you come up with a conclusion that guys are amicable based on which school they went to? Curious? I mean what were your criterions?
john doe Posted on 17-Jul-03 11:45 AM

Suva Chintak, care to elaborate on this 'Nepali maya' position? And I thought the Budhas did it the British way......

Sixx, there's a lesson to be learnt here - ask a dumb question and chances are, u'll get even dumber answers!
JHINGA Posted on 17-Jul-03 12:00 PM

Budha guys are a lil uptight and superficial. whereas Stx guys are a lil laidback and down to earth. I have come to know guys from both schools but I find the Buddha guys a lil socially handicapped whereas the STX guys are more socially for adept. As far as social etiquecy is concerned..the Budha boys lag in this dept. too. Maybe because they were so isolated in the foothills of Shivpuri, cause they sure do act like Jungali Janawars when they see members of the opposite sex(like dogs on heat).
SITARA Posted on 17-Jul-03 12:08 PM

And...
how narrow thy perception,
how limited the horizon,
why stick to monochromatic,
use your multivision.
Why...
view from the rear end of the telescope
and go blind while squinting;
Perhaps, the glasses need a change,
and the colors needs a wider range.
Or
just DISCARD them
use a Prism if you please....
You might just discover a whole rainbow of PEOPLE,
NOT, consumer PRODUCTS manufactured in the two!!!!

Note: It is offensive to label people and generalize them by their schools!

suva chintak Posted on 17-Jul-03 12:15 PM

john doe jyu,

I will not bore you with the intricate details of the 'Malai Nepali Maya Chahincha' move the Buddha men specialize in, but just the general idea:

While the missionary position tends to have an air of monotonous uniformality, formality, unimaginative regularity, rigidity, and the oppressive hierarchy (man on top, women on the bottom) of patriarchy; the Budhanilkantha's MNMC technique in contrast is more playful, creative, hierarchyless (s/he can be on top too) that democratically incorporates the best moves developed by each of the ethnic and regional groups of Nepal.

The end result? A complete and satisfying experience guaranteed!! Knowledgeable sources who have had experience with both schools of thought vouch there is simply no comparision.

The latest score card:
MNMC ----got all vowels (aaa, eee, ooo)
missionary ---- got mostly consonants (nooo, goo, bhoo)

Hopefully I have answered some of your curiosity!

Sher Prasad dead

Sher Prasad died Wednesday, a published report said. Sher Prasad was gored June 18 by Romeo, a wild elephant in the Royal Chitwan National Park, a wildlife official said.

The tusker critically injured Sher Prasad as it was tethered in its shed inside the Park; Government owned the elephant. The rogue elephant has been spreading terror inside the protected forest wantonly impregnating domesticated females for the last seven years.

Sher Prasad was 50. Sher Prasad carried visitors to the park. nepalnews.com br July 17

T Posted on 17-Jul-03 01:21 PM

I just had to respond to this topic.

I would choose Xavierians and I have reasons. I have known people from both the schools. I think the STX people are more social compared to the GUYS from budhanilkantha. Its just my personal opinion. I do not know why but budhanilkantha men have not yet learned that girls people like themselves and having the majority does not mean that they can choose to suppress girls. However, it is amazing that the budhanilkantha guys behave much better outside school. I have been there and this is from experience. It has probably improved now, I hope it has.

Just my opinion

No offense people. I dont want to stereotype. Just putting forward my views.

iif you guys were to choose girls from bnks or sms? who would you choose?
in my case i had a girl friend of 3 years from bnks and at present i'm going out with a girl
who is from sms.. hence it'd take me a lil' bit more time to analyze the differences between the two products of two different schools.but in bried. i'd say that sms girls are more boisterous,howdy, talkative, coquettish , and smart to the girls from bnks who are more likely to be conservative , dowdy, reserved , and dull .. but.. there are exceptions hence no offences intended..

what do you guys think??

Goredai jiu,
"This is an age old question for St. Mary's girl. Here is what Budha guys used to say. Flirt with St. Mary's girl and marry a girl from Mahendra Bhawan. "

That was not true, but when we were around, St Mary's girls used to say, Xavier boys are excellent lovers but Budha guys are the best husbands.....testo mis represent garna bhayena ni....

John doe jiu, budha guys don't do the british way, btw what is a british way, any different, I am unaware of it hearing this for the first time... ??

jhinga jiu, I fully disagree with you....your assumption that budha is near the jungle make budha jungali, are you trying to say that Xavier is near to the zoo, does that make them similar to inhabitant of the zoo...( I am not for this at all)...
Aani superficial re...u got the other way round man, we think just the opposite, budha guys are more dowwwn to earth..i think...

Talking about generalizing, budha guys are not as howdi as Xaviers and maynot be that fast in terms of love-sub garne mamala...as it was a boarding school with just guys then....things must have changed..

But the person who wants to choose, needs to have her prespectives clear....what she goes for:
a very smart and romantic guy: Xavier
Down to earth, a pratical husband: budha guy....

but this may not hold true for everyone, and there are exceptions everywhere...and no harm done to both budha and Xavier guys hai....

Mussolini Posted on 17-Jul-03 04:29 PM

Both schools are very overrated. But by Nepal's standards, they're better than the rest.

I'm sorry if this is going to strike a never to you guys who went to Budhanilkantha, but they are posers. Effin' posers who think they are high and mighty 'coz they went to Nepal's most respected school. Pfftt... both suck!

GP Posted on 17-Jul-03 09:23 PM

Rules in BKNS are like rules in Jail. Well, food seems comparatively better.
Hostel rooms for grade 4, i.e. 10year kids is not really appreciable. Some
Wardens are not friendly (at least the one I encountered).
No smile, completely insensitive .......... Terrible.

The compound and environment is comparatively better. Clean environment.

A relative of mine who studied in St. X says: he had to pay fine Rs. 1 every sentence he speaks in Nepal (if caught). At least, BKNS is free from this kind of punishment, but,
Charko-shor, and chimtane are the punishments in BKNS............

No day scholar in BKNS, while St. X is better in this perspective. If you want to take your kid out of school for a private vacation, both schools' administration I heard ask you to QUIT their schooling in these schools. No tolerance, the answer : we have many students in waiting list, and therefore, we do not offer temporary private leaves, e.g. one week or two weeks......... Some one who is now in USA, wanted to take his son/daughter from BKNS for 3 weeks (requested special private leave), the school admin. forced them to quit the school. Hidoi desu ne. Poor country, poor mentality. I remember when kids in Japan (esp. of foreign national) go to their country in private vacation, the school offers them as they need, but, to back up the classes the class teacher packs all the homeworks and reading tutorials for the duration, so that the kid can recover upon return. But, Nepal being poor country, even BKNS or St. X 's highly paid administration do not have vision to be generous on students. In fact, their pride is to kick kids out of school so that they can give lesson to parents, if you are demanding parents, your kids will be kicked out of the schools.

Poor mentality of administration, is not it?

One thing I find better with BKNS, is the admission is more transparent and fair than in St. X. (I heard St. X look more for Parents social status, and those in Govt. or biz. top positions get easy access to ST. X. Well, fees in St. X is comparatively cheaper, compared to BKNS. But, the self-financed students in BKNS have to also pay for the poor students who get admission on free of costs. That is probably a greatness of BKNS where your kid studies with poor kids, thus, knows the bottom line what poor means, and while St. X are mostly (almost 100%) are from elite class, I wonder whether they tolerate when a poor student from other school tend be closer: a kind of white america before 1960s.

St. X 's main purpose is to make elite class not oppose the real motive of Christian Missinaries, while BKNS has no inside hidden motive of running any religious missionaries. Anyway, BKNS has given a few poor or middle class students from remote districts to rise to elite class..... e.g. Paschim, Paramendra ..........

St. X, I would say is very successful to produce students who can stand alone, and they hardly seek (I don't its because they can not, or because they don' like) government jobs.

Unfortunately, St. M that is run by anglo indians (unlike St. X, in St. M some former students complained that they were asked to pray based on X-tian. Well, St. X students proudly claim the difference between St. M and St. X. You could find Krishna's photograph posted in parallel to Christ, while no tolerance in St. M), though it runs parallel to St. X, but, most of the St. M products, so far, I have met are fancy wives made for engineers, doctors and elite biz. circles............

I was neither student of BKNS, nor of St. X, of course not eligible to be student of St. M. I wrote those things based on what I had seen, was told and read somewhere.

You are free to disagree and put your observation and prove wrong or support my postings.

At the end, no one is perfect. In the world, we never know true value, but, average value when your sample size goes up, tends to approach true value.

There is nothing perfect, without tolerance limit. Perfection is measured w.r.t. tolerance limit. Our schools in Nepal are less tolerant, so truely good schools are very difficult to find. All of them look like jails in dictator's medievial (chk. spelling) age.

I don't think the auther of this thread had any intensions of marrying the school for sure..she might be companing the better one among these two. Tesma resai halnu parla jasto malai lagdaina...no harm done from my side...

aani dherai comparison bhayo but I also agree that schools do not make the most part of the selection criteria, haina ta? One that has studied in Xavier or BUdha might be the general or the average type, in that case what will you say??

"I agree with Bhunte dai's statement"

Bichara Bhunte..
Neta_ji Posted on 18-Jul-03 11:40 AM

I dont know much about other schools however it will be absolutely wrong preception to find Xavier's as a elite school as mentioned by the user LATOO and some of the other users. The admission of the applicants is not determined by social, racial or economic background of the applicants. The school doesnt even know who you are, from where you come or the background of your social, racial or economic status until you are actually admitted and enrolled into the school.

Many of the users may not know the fact that the greatest thing about this school is that it doesnt prepare you for getting high marks in SLC and SLC is not even the primary goal behind the teaching at Xavier's this is the reason why, despite being considered one of the best schools in the nation, Xavier's has hardly produced any students who has made it to the top ten Board system in the SLC results. In the more than 50 years of history of the school are are no more than about just 4 or 5 boys to make it to the top ten of SLC Board system. No one from this school has ever hit the Borad first in the SLC Board system till this date.

If you look into the fee structure of the school, you will find that the school fee is lower than the comparative schools of the nation. Now the Godavari St Xavier's has begun to give the first priority to the candidates from the sorrounding villages of Godavari in thier admission process which will result in higher opportunity for students from the sorroundign villages. Do you feel that the villages of Godavari is filled with the elites of the socitey (unless the elites have swamped the viallages of Godavari in a hurry..ha ha ha ha). Hope that the such a priority system of the Godavari St. Xavier's will not result in law suit like it did when Bush administration sued against the the affirmative aciton of University of Michigan admission policy...thankfully the Supreme court of the US upheld the affirmative action ...ha ha ha (just an additional info yoo..)

I'm a product of Xavier's, please do not make speculations based on what you heard form someone else. To get the real feeling you gotta be the part of the school somewhere in your life. I'm was not a part of other school systems ( mentioned in this discussion) so I dont want to speculate or make allegations on the matters of other schools and the way their system operate.

It is true that much of the product of this school have become the elites in the society later in thier lives (NOT while they were still in school) and the influencing factor behind the success is the ATTITUDE you acquire from the school system. Xavierian means an ATTITUDE not high marks in SLC. The success in educational, social and financial status is most likely to follow you in the course of time even if want it or not but one thing is sure you are most likely to succeed when you have the Xavierian attitude....chao brotha....



thapap Posted on 18-Jul-03 02:07 PM

neta_ji well versed statement and I would have to agree with you.

I had that opportunity to attend both schools at various points of my life.

my PERSONAL opinion Budhanilkantha seems to be more elite than STX. admissions were not always based in competition [at least in Budha at 4th and 7th] but obviously they had representation from almost all district of the nation.

at least I believe that getting admitted to xaviers has nothing to do with financial, social and parential status. when i gave my entrance examination it was by sheer luck i was even there. my dad was outside Nepal and mom [simple housewife]. my "mama's friend" was taking a son of DIG for his entrance exam. so, he thought lets spend NRs.50 for the forms for "bhanja". So, he submitted all the forms and one early saturday morning i was hauled for exam with this DIG's son. i have to be grateful to them because they paid for the taxi.(O: Result was I got admitted and he did not .


Neta_ji Posted on 18-Jul-03 02:29 PM

In the entire decade of school I spent at Xavier's I didnt know any of our guys converting to Christianity. We were not taught (of) a single lesson on Christianity. Our boys were admitted as Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims or what ever the religion they followed and when we passed out of school, there was not a bit change in their religious status. In my batch there were about 110 guys in total and there were 2 guys who were Christians. They too had had been Christians before they were admitted to the school. It true that we prayed at an assembly each morning before the classes begin, however in the list of prayers there was (and is) not a single word that mentions the name of Jesus Christ. The word god are mentioned in those prayers without specifying which god is it. Almost every religion has its own god and since prayer is a exclusively personal way of connecting yourself to the god, the prayers we recited at school didnt mention about any specific god therefore it depends on each person doing the prayer which god are you referring to depending on which religion you followed.

Well it is grossly overstated statement that the Xavier's had or has a policy of placing a fine of Re 1 per violation if caught speaking Nepali language at school. In the entire decade at the school we hardly spoke English language with each other even in the English language/literature classes unless we had to talk to the teacher. The policy of placing of fine is absolutely bogus. I didnt nor did any of our classmates pay a single rupee for speaking languages other than English because the reason is simple, there was no such policy or rules of placing such fines at all.

On the matter of speculation of if the administration staff were highly paid at St. Xaviers. It is absolutely none sense to make such allegations based on bogus speculations. Same thing can be said on this matter of St Mary's School since it is run by the same Jesuit Province (division) based in Chicago, Illinois. These educators have come all the way form Chicago (IL), Cincinnati (OH), Canada and the other parts of the world and they dont even get much pay to live a comfortable life here if compared to what they could have gotten if they have had stayed and followed the same professions in their home countries. Note that a secondary school teacher has a salary of about 45,000 to 50,000 $ a year plus other additional benefits in the public schools in the U.S. which would be equivalent to almost 40 Lakh Nepali Rupees per year in salary alone, the salary for and benefits for teachers in the private schools in the U.S. is even higher than the public schools.

Would you choose to turn down (laat hann nee) a 50,000 $ a year job and go to some strange country with strange culture to receive 60,000 Rupees a year job for the same profession and the same type of work ? These educators have done so and many of them are doing it for the last 40 years and still they dont ask for anything in return from Nepali students or the country. I didn't pay nor did any of my class mates pay anything more than a moderate monthly fee. This country should be grateful for their contributions not only in education but also in other aspects of social services&
