Hello!Sanchai chau?Were the first word I said when she said hello back to me.How are you doing?I said.She is probably the friend of mine who is too close to AD my friend.Being a Nepali and the girl also Nepali,he gave me the phone to talk to her and the conversation started.She's not from Nepal.She's from Sikkim I guess.Then immediately the topic changed and she suddenly asked me which school I am from.I said St. Xavier's, Maitighar.Then she said you know anyone named Sneha Shrestha.I never heard that name and caste together as per my memory I said staraigth no.She said why and again I said it would be better to meet any one over here from and especially from Xavier's.Then I gave the cell to my friend.The conversation was over by then but the conversation made me realize slowly my times I had when I was in Xavier's.
To meet again anyone here as a Xavierien would be a great experience here in India.Back home when I went to a consultancy for study abroad then the proprieter said I'm Xavier's Maitighar 1948 bs batch then we came close and later we became good frens.It is the spirit Xavierians have.I remember each and every moment I had in Xavier's.Studying and getting very low percentage had become the trend of Xavierians.I dont know how is Xavier's now but the time when we had our days over there it was really good.Miss those teachers and good good frens.The sit arrangement system and HT the HOD of biology group.How can we ever forget him??
Where are all my frens now of Xavier's.I couldn't join the GAA(Godavari Alumuni Association)as I was busy applying abroad and coming over here to Bangalore.So no one ever I 've meet except some who are really good frens.I saw some of their pics on Kantipur daily long back when they had topped the list of IOM(Institute of Medicine).Then never saw them and heard from them.I sometimes wonder where I am compared to them.Them I get afraid myself to get the result of the comparision coz i've reached no-where....................
I remember the moral value classes we used to have and those Lord movies they showed us.Welcome to our juniors was awesome.Never went to farewell how they did it. Hadn't collected the year book too.
1st year results, project on orphanage, never getting signed on botany practicals,HT’s fish culture classes ,violating sit arrangements, the regular corridor junction of ours and two lovebirds disturbing us there, physics practical, only toppers, rush for the momo on canteen, miss fresher, peeping on bsw’s chicks, and memories and memories……………………………………………….
Is what I have now!!!!
I can never forget the programs I conducted on Xavier's.Be it frenship day or womens day we every time had a celebration on Xavier's.The exhibition by Environment social and cultural society was also good and we participated and presented a project on Condition Of Orphanage Around The Valley which made a bit of news(LOL).The program on Wartrin memorial hall above the library(I don't remember the occasion though it was either Xavier,s day or st, egnatius day) is fresh on my memory till now.That day Nirmal Shrestha our physical chemistry teacher was on stage to conclude the program.Father Augustine was also in the front row and Nirmal sir started. These were the concluding word.He went up and started singing:
"If somebody asks you who are you..
you can proudly say that we are Xavierians...
then still if he asks you who are you?
you can again proudly say that we are xavierians
and then still if he asks you who are you? Then .......
tell him we are Xavierians............
And Still if he asks you who are you?the then '
tell him you are deaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
