Who we are We are a group of fun-loving people interested in having unbridled fun and talking about the lighter side of life on Sajha.
We are unapologetic about what we say because we don't put too much thought into our words. We have come to learn after all these episodes that when your goal is unrestrained and harmless fun, you can only be so careful or thoughtful about what you say. We mean no harm towards anyone and welcome everyone to join the fun.
The Cafe series, as it has evolved over the weeks and months, is an effort to create a community of like minded people who want to have fun - or as SNDY likes to says - "be good and have fun". That is the only clause in our one-line constitution.
What do we do in the Cafe? Meeting, greeting and sharing is what we do a lot of. As well as singing, dancing, needling (one another of course), opining, joking and anything else to kill time. Not to forget serving and partaking virtual lattes, biscottis, tea, coffee, samosas, jalebis and other tasty baked goods that we take out of the Google Images oven. We've also posted videos, dedicated songs, confessed our crushes, talked about weather, food, work, sports - anything that is fun.
History History is never uncontroversial and ours too might not be free from it.This is version is subject to revision as members deem fit.
This whole thing was started by Hi Nanu and instigated by SNDY. Back in those days, SNDY had so many people to say hi to that she would go on each thread where her friends had posted, and say hi, regardless of what the topic was. It had a positive impact on the site, IMO, because it made conversations lighter and soon others started following that trend and we had several threads where the topic might have been something like the "Collapse of the European Monetary Union" but other than the first few posts, the conversation turned out to be about anything but that.
So one day Hi Dai opened a thread called "Thread for greeting each other". Little did he realize what he had created. That thread filled a vacuum in Sajha, as we saw it, for friendly conversation between people that was free of name calling, personal attacks and caste/creed/school/language prejudices. This was back in the dark days of the caste wars and turf struggles. That thread quickly filled up and reach it's maximum posts in a matter of days and another one was started. And then another and another ...
At that time someone jokingly (perhaps contemptuously) referred to us as the "Nautanki" group. We took on that joke and called our self the Nuatanki Briagade and fulfilled SNDY's long running desire to become a Brigadier. So there were several threads (or episodes as we called them) under the Nautanki banner. We got to a point where we ran the joke to the ground and thought it might be time for a name change. We figured a word like Nautanki can wear out after a while and we suspect it might have deterred some people, who would otherwise have posted, from posting on the thread .
We held a poll on whether or not we should change our name. We decided, by an overwhelming majority, to change the name. It was Juggy who came up with the name "Cafe N". The rest, as they say, is history.
Geography As of last count, in alphabetical order of countries and US states: Alabama, Australia, Belgium, California, Canada, Connecticut, Denmark, Florida, Illinois, India, Iraq, Italy, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nepal, Netherlands, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, New Zealand, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, UK, Washington,Washington DC. Some of us haven't disclosed our locations and I might have missed some so the list is probably longer.
Languages Languages heard in the Cafe: English, Nepali, Punjabi, Hindi, Newari, Sanskrit, French, German, Gujrati, Spanish, Esperanto and mixtures and derivatives thereof. The list is bound to grow as we plan to expand to all the corners of the world - although we haven't quite figured how. Politics Constitutional Assembly elections are slated for a some time the future, around NPL2US's recently announced wedding date. The Fun party and the Sun party are running neck to neck so we've figured we are in for some fun and sun regardless of the outcome.
But seriously we tend to leave our politics, class, caste, creed, schooling, religion, Indian idol preferences and anything that could affect the fun on the other side of our keyboards or for other threads. Thapap and Loote may battle it out like there is no tomorrow on other threads, but they've been good buddies here. How do I join ? Post something, anything, in the "be good and have fun" spirit and you are guaranteed to receive a warm welcome
TL confesses to her love of lipstick. Air Sajha plane with the entire Nautanki brigade on-board experiences a near crash resulting in several more confessions from others.
Cleo and Loote's virtual marriage, television shows and favorites foods like lakhamari, sekuwa, momo, Juggy's reports, amongst other things, are the topics of conversation.
(Folks, the above is just my interpretation of things done in the spirit of the Cafe and purely for fun. If there is anything you want changed, added or removed, please let me know)

let me make this long post longer with this song (a fav. of mine):
Hey Camo, sndy, Cerine, mav, udashi, flippy, Cappy.. and the rest of you!!
Hows it going? Things Okay with me. I am actually skipping this class right now because I did not do the reading . the prof sort of points out at any person and starts asking questions and I dont want to be in the limelight today!
sndy... The dream was totally weird. believe me you dont want to hear it!
Mav.... LOL... I am sort of protective about sajha for some reason, and though people's comment might be justifiable, I am totally biased. I think sajha rocks and everything about sajha is perfecto!! I have this weird on-again off-again relationship with sajha and I simply love it!!
Cappy., no songs today? how is work going??
Flippy, Cerine, Camo... Good to see you in this early :D... You guys shouls drop by MORE often. Like I do... lol
OKies.. hi to the rest. I am gooone!! (for some coffee of course!) Hasta Luego!
Loots, Hum yahan.. tum yahan.. dil jawa. Woh saamaa... Lekhin kaha? Suru Suru ke fights ka? ;) K hudai cha life ma? Cleo katti haraira? Maya le gali garera yeha liyerau na.
Rythm, Reading nagarera class goal hanne? How badmash! I havent done mine for the class im suppose to go to in like 10 mins.. but my prof doesnt point ppl out so im going :P Yea.. i found Mavs perception of me funny too! Kareena kapoor re... how boring! I look like babita instead.. hahaha.
ok just for the sake of fun, lemme state what i envision you folks to be like hai ta? ....don't mind me...it's purely based upon character you portray through your writings and the images i get from your lovely nicks
let's start with gentlemen: -------------------------- 1) captain haddock, at times the billions of blistering barnacles (captain haddock of tintin) of him comes to my mind who is alcoholic and erratic but very cute and lovable. ...but most of the times, when i think of him, i see him as this guy who stands like 5'-8", fairly athletic body..almost bald :P, french-cut beard, ...occasionally clean-shaved...wears baggy jeans and a tight-t-shirt hahahahahaha...carries a book every-time in one hand and the other hand is free for various other social/personal/inter-personal skills :P hahahaha
2) maverick, lean and thin with sharp nose...stands 5'7" :P..fairly energetic and a book-worm..a bit shy with girls
3) camo, dark and handsome but not so tall :P..always smiles, nicey nice with everyone, super honest and cheerful...lovable. my bhauju is lucky in that respect, i must say :P
4) nkc, medium height, again lovable, nice with everyone...extra nice with girls hahaha...modest, friendly and hard-working...
5) npl, hahaha...don't mind me...but when i think of you, first thing that comes to my mind is your beer-belly hahahaha :P, fun-loving...loves beer to death, favorite being corona. :P holds a can of corona almost all the time in one hand and plays with computer with the other. funny, sarcastic, thoughtful, good observant...:D
6) juggy, nice guy...loses temper a bit too quickly, but otherwise thoughtful, creative and artistic. lean and thin...may as well wear a pair of spect most of the times..:D. romantic but a bit shy about it :P
7) thapap, einstein looks plus the spect. funny, fun-loving. when he's into something, he tends to be into it all the time be it studies, work, fun or whatever (like when he listens to a fav. song of his, he listens to it 20 times consecutively without a break haha) mostly introvert but at the same time interested in what others are upto :D :P...hardworking and honest with his work.
8) TM shy/quiet but thoughtful and intelligent. has a unique sense of humor that often beats kings of humor. extremely friendly with closed friends. music is his passion and has good understanding of it in depth.
lol... i guess you would be the first n the last person to say that. books interms of text book or any book?? either way thats not rite... text book ko ta k bhanne lol... just spend 200 bucks in whole college lfe for books...lol other books: hmmm..havent read a single novel till now.. or i must say i read one historical nover written by Bal krishna Sama
aru kura..you were almost there. other than thin.. i am always lil plumpy..
