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)

Danny daa... Divya Bharati reminds you of me?? LOL... She was one beautiful woman. Poor lady! And I dont how in the world she would remind you of me!! Nice song though. Makes me want to watch that movie.
Goodmorning to all!! :D I am done with my sole class for the day. And now I am going out to meet some friends and have some fun. Hope you people have a GREAT day. I might come back in say hi but dont know..
Rythm - Nice Jagjit number there. Have a good day.
Avani - Finally! he he. Good to see you here. It's nice that you have a best friend. That got me thinking about who my best friend might be. Funny thing is, I have none! he he I have friends but no one I can really call a best friend. I guess it's something that happens to you with time. The last time I had a best friend was when I was in school and he and I haven't caught up in years. Last I heard he had married and was making a bounty somewhere ... ha ha
Audrey - "Fine is" he he. Good to 'see' you. How are things? Any more stories in the pipeleline? Loved that one about the poisoned spit ... he he
Danny -
Ha ha ha ... You're in the right place then. Where you can talk to your heart's content.Nice numbers there.
Pacifier - Hi! How's it going? Like the numbers you posted. You should swing by more often.
Cerine/NKC - Good morning ! :)
Brig Ma'am/Loots/Mav/NPL2US/Lovely Lady/Jack/Flips/Rocky/LemonyCleo/Hi Nanu - Hi to you and a salute to Camo! Hi to anyone else I may have missed.
Aap ke bina mera mann nahi lag raha tha. Hum to thahare puraane zamaana ke... sasuma ke feet chue bina din achha nahi jaata. So aap ki badi besabar se intzaar tha. Ab aap ka darshan ho gaya... mein achi tarah se bahar jaa ke din bita sakti hu!! Have a GREAT day!!
LooTe: ha ha ha! you hit the bull eye when you said I am Dark! LOL...!! Just got sun burn in Miami beach last weekend and now all you can see is my teeth! As TL used to say, din ma raat, raat maa daat!
Danny: I had never seen people writing"hmmm ...zu zu zu zuu....tidiiii e...tidi eee.. " in lyrics. When I read it, I was literally humming it in that tune. tidliiii e.... tidi eeee...! Now I think I will be doing this for whole day today!
Rythm: Oho! so you look like Dibya Bharati? hmmm!! Captain looks like Shah Rukh! ;-) or is it Juggy? No no Juggy looks like Rishi Kapoor! :P (Juggy ha ha ha! it's all in Jest hai!)
Avani: I knew you got that info from flip flop. I am still wondering what made her guess that. LOL
flip flop: How are you doing? Do you know flipflopeintein in Disney Channel? :-)
sisterjaan: sanchai ho?
TL: kataa ho?
Captain: Nice songs! Oldies Goldies mood maa ho aajkaal? Salute to you too, kaptaan saab!
Audrey H: Hello! Long time no see! :-)
Lemon, Cerine, pacifier, thapap, juggy, npl2us, hi nanu, NKC, Mav and rest - Salute!
Have fun with your friends and come back and tell us about it ... he he
Has anyone watched the French movie "Mon meilleur ami" (My best friend). Is anyone into French movies? (with English subtitles in my case). I thought the movie was great - here's the link to the review: http://www.boston.com/movies/display?display=movie&id=10021 (didn't want to post the whole thing and bore those of you not interested) It is about a man who is challenged to show who his best friend is- and he has ten days to do so or looses a very expensive bet.
From Trump “I will revoke TPS, and deport them back to their country.”
