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)

OOhh... So people were having a party when I was gone huh?? I have been so totally busy that it makes me want to graduate right this minute. Ughhh I am CRAVING for chilis' Chocolate molten cake SO BAD that I dreamt about it last night. I dreamt that I was at work and I made my coworker stay at work so that I could go and get some molten cake!! (talk about weirdness!!)
Cappie: I had never heard of the Kale dude, and to be truthful I discovered that I was not too much into him anyways!! I liked the woh Lamhe though :D. I was totally ecstatic to see you post something about your day too. And it was quite hilarious. Lol the guy whispering to not wake his spouse! Thanks for sharing. Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Hows the weather there? It still is hot and humid back here.... I wish it was cooler.
SNDY mummy.. Me tweety pie? and you are the most adorable person ever. I wish you seriously were my mother in law re k. hehe. Hows your weekend? how come you cant share your weird dream with us? Believe me we are all weirdos here.. your dream will fit in perfectly!! (Sorry to all for calling you weirdos. :P)
Danny daaaaaa,.. You wont spoonfeed me? Then I am totally blank on what you were trying to say! What else is happening with you? I am totally sleepy right now!!
TL, LOL... I guess when you are a fan for 10 years... a star seems like a dai. hehe
Cerine: It's sunday night and I am already bored, ain't you yet? ;-). I think I should start planning for next Friday Night now. Howdy?
Captain: Oho! Gana pe Gana! Gana pe Gana! (read it as Sunny Deol's dialogue, taarikh pe taarikh, taarikh pe taarikh :P). Tujhe dekha toh yeh jana sanam? hmmmm...! Did yo by any chance run across Rythm this weekend or what? How was your weekend? Hope you had fun. right on! :-)
Danny: The hummer eh? better than Toyota ni. Khaltyang khultung baato maa ;-)
flip flop: So we have another thing in Common, huh? Football Fanatic. nice! :-)
sisterjaan: Yeah it's always fun in weekend. :-) Oh! Paan wala bhaiyaa! he is doing good. We were watching Indian Idol together. He is also a jabardast fyaan of Prashant.
TL: Cricket le ta fursad nai chha ni. It was fun watching India beating Australia. But it was the best moment today when Solti was thanking Nepalese. ki kaso? Conveyed your message to PP. :D Hey! you were true when you said, "raat maa daat". It's cool. he he he!
Rythm: ha ha ha! star looks like a Dai re! LOL! what happens when you become a fan for 20 years? Does star look like Mama? :P How was your weekend? Nice song there!
LooTe bro: Are you ready for twenty20 final tomorrow? Your best "choker" is playing against mighty Pak ni. ;-) hey you know what, South Africa took that title of "The Chokers" ni.
Lemon: Tussi kitthe ho? chaaya waaya pine gal aaja! :P
Hello Thapap, Avani, Cleo (where are you?), npl2us bro, Mav, Udashi, Audrey H, and all missed ones!
Good Morning!! Not a good morning for me though. I am totally sick at work!! I thought it was just regular allergies but it seems like I am about to die. I am having cold and cough and my eyes are teary and I am totally drowsy. I hate weather change!!

rythm, shardi hai? sar fat raha hai? naak bhi band? kuch leti kyon nahi? coldarin li?
danny, howdy?
captain, never heard of karsh...the fusion of east and west does sound interesting though
sndy, what do you want in the gift tell me? a leather sari and a leather wig?
TL, why don't you tell me candidly if you also want a leather wig? i will understand..just wink at me
camo, i am not much into 20-20 although i must say, it has all the prospect and will dominate ODI in the near future. they may have to scrap the latter completely. despite this, for some reason, i don't quite like the format as it gives 'more' scope to slogging than conventional shots i love cricket for...and some of the rules had me in splits. 'bowl out' re...haha...i mean it's okay they're breaking the tie with it but i would have been happier if batsmen were 'also' involved in the tie breaker rather than just bowlers bowling at the bare-naked stumps :D..but that's my opinion
as for today's match, hell yeah.."pakis all the way".. . i will be more than happy for indians if they don't manage to wet their pants hahaha
cerine howdy?
a BIG hello to mav/nkc/thapap/npl/flips/avani/limca and all the rest...
Oh! what a game again! Pak can make 48 runs in 21 balls and cannot make 6 runs in 4 balls, damn!! Anyways! it was a thrilling match to watch!
LooTe: LOL! ha ha ha! you sound like big Indian cricket journalists. LOL! I think this format's gonna rule in later dates. Best thing is it is less time consuming and one can watch it between 5 pm and 8 pm (after office, in dinner time) and also enjoy the similar thrill. What more to ask? I love this format. :-)
sisterjaan: LOL! I liked India winning the game but still didn't want to say "Chakde India". Infact Cricket is the only thing where I like India but it will be till Nepal plays it's international match against them. :-)
