We were once proud to declare in public "We are Xaverians". But many ex-students of our school are bent on shaming us. Now that they have left the school they feel free to abuse the staff. Students are now competing to see who can abuse our teachers in the worst possible language. This has been going on in a community called "Masters of tomorrow" in orkut. Some of the words and phrases used by these 'gentlemen' are not even used by people whom we call gentlemanly.
Though it is true that some, or a very few classes are a bit boring, the teachers and laughing at their character traits won't solve the problem. The proper way of dealing with them is meaningful criticism from which they can take lessons and change if possible. And god knows what those 'masters' think of themselves. I wish all their colleagues, relatives and friends (who think they are very good and well mannered) come to know about this. That will be the best possible punishment they could have.
And they deserve strong punishment. Because of these stupid people our reputation is suffering. Everybody is beginning to think that all Xaverians are ill-mannered. We can not accept that. There are many who love the institution and respect the staff like family. I want all of them to protest against this. The least we can do is to visit orkut and report abuse. After several such reports, orkut will certainly shut down that offensive community.

Thank you very much, Niladri. At least one Xaverian had both the courage and the good taste to speak up - and I never underestimate the power of one.
But be prepared to get some abuse from all those who can't do any better!

Dear Niladri
Thank you very much for writing this. I feel proud that you are from the school from where I passed out fifteen years ago!. I wish that you retain yourself and your senses are not polluted in times to come.

Well, definitely some Xaverians have turned out to be notorious enough, but that is surely not sufficient to bring decay to the magnanimity of your school.
At the same time, I am glad to discover that ex-Xaverians have not gone beyond the roof in their practices: you hardly know what terrible things Orkut is being used for these days, being senior to you, I must not discuss them elaborately, be fine.
Keep writing, do visit and comment in my blog, if time permits.
