A tribute to St.Xavier's College, Goa This a video recording of me in the college campus playing Mary did you know. We weren't allowed to play a farewell song by the organisers so I consoled myself with this piece...
Goes out to all my friends and teachers who made a difference... Too many friends to name but I'll name a few teachers here.. Sir Kanekar, Sir Ryan, Sir Edwin, even the teachers who never taught me, Ms.Marina, Principal, Ms. Sarah, Sir Cajetan, everyone who left a mark on my life in the smallest of ways...

So this is dedicated to the spirit of St.Xavier's...

Clarifications:
I love my college... ur statement that I would love to see it go up in flames is utter bullshit... Xavier's rocks... It means a lot to me...
"who cant cal themselves students as they nevr go to clas n think its cool wastin their (empty)lives on lewd jokes, sad conversations n drinks n who got d best high, n whose rack is betr n i got stoned ystrday."
Iv got 96% attendance, never cracked a lewd joke, dont drink and dont smoke...
What I hav expressed is not my opinion.. Its the general mood... And il again specify.. i have nothing against the student council, jus the attitude's of some people...
And u asked me y i wrote it on my blog which only a handful of ppl visit...
Coz its my blog... I maintain it to express myself... Who wants to read it is welcome... U wanted me to make a big issue outta it..??
Newman's not as bad as ppl think he is and i too thought he was... he is a bit fat-headed at time, but he's not bad...
The tribute i recorded is to the college and its teachers... and the culture its maintained, not to the people who run it and pretend to run it...
dude dats really amazin
it was truly a pleasure to listen to u play. ur really good at it so don't give it up. it'l be a shame if u do.
Thanks Eddy and Amanda..!!!
:-)
Who's eddy..??
the organisers? seriously? when did u even ask if u could play?
I was not supposed to play... mark Rocha wanted to sing a song, and he wanted me to accompany him :-)
DUDE!!!u play amazingly well!!! great work!!! =)
brenton brenton! :)
first of all, as nigel said - this is called a BLOG.. the owner expresses what he wants on it and absolutely NO one is forced to read it (including you) :) jus like i wudn't be visitin your blogs again coz i think they're "irrelevant (to anyone's existence) n dumb" :)
secondly, a very sad fact, but, my ass can't talk (unlike urs, maybe?)
next, i hate/hated the administration at xavier's.. i've expressed that opinion to the principal and the staff.. so expressin it here again shudn't surprize anyone..
last of all, attending class is not everythin in life.. the syllabus is ancient with no relevance to today's world and today's business.. so zip it.. n if u do feel like sittin in class n starin at th teachers, do so..
don't assume what we do with our "not attending class" time.. i have done more constructive things than you could have, sittin in or out of class.. usually the "lewd jokes, sad conversations, drinks n who got d best high, n whose rack is betr n i got stoned ystrday" is class chatter.. so a good boy like u, who attends class probably does spend a lot of time on that n thus know the topics of conversation too..
ps. you brought this very un-needed comment on yourself..
well hello brenton..
since u inquired bout me.
im lovelldies, better known as lovell dsouza. im an ex student, ur right.. i ddnt pass out centuries ago. a coupla years to be precise..
oh ya n my ass also dsnt talk. man u do have some talent there is urs does!!!
and its a good thing u were not allowed to speak at the farewell.. thats like the best thing newman has done!! ddnt want anyone to kill themselves listening to ur crap.. i was really bored half way thru ur comment...
pinochio!! u told u me cant play the guitar!! i think you're amazing!! that was awesome.. first time that im going thru ur blog.. good work mate..xoxo lara

Amazing performance Nigel.. Wish i had that kinda of talent... Its sad that people like you weren't a big part of the MAX club... It would have been really nice to have a musician as Max club president so that when suggestions were made, the President would be able to understand the suggestions and make use of them... Great writing too..
Thanks Lee-Ann... The MAX club is a bit different... I wudnt wanna be a member of it... I was not for the 3 yrs I was there...
