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)

Avani: Now who said I am in IT bhanera? flip flop le laaaast BT diyechhanta hauuuuu! :D. I wish!.
Captain: Ha ha ha! Javed Akhtar might have gotten good big blows from our fellow Nepalese in his emails. I can't imagine, how many emails Alisha Chinoy is getting these days from Prashant's Fans. LOL. ... Ajeeb Daastaa hai yeh! Oho! Nice youtube video there. (Euta secreeee kura hai! Check other videos that come after you finish watching the song. That's great bonus! LOL)

Amazing: Hey bro! I thought you were in Darjeeling! Where's Chanaa bro? ;-)
flip flop: hajur! kaam le pelnu pelyo! Now since NKC mentioned about the six sixes in an over, let me put the video in here for you. And a bonus video specially from Sachin just for you.:-)
He he, Maverick, yeah, true the "word" hasn't been outlawed even though the practice behind it has. How naive of me to assume so, huh? Now that I went back and read it again, there is a comical side to it I suppose - I guess I just didn't catch onto the humor right away ... he he That type of humor does take a little getting used to though IMO. But then again, like my good friend Thapap,who has been missing of late, what do I know?
Loote!!
Wah, wah, wah kya mara! It was seeing you today - even though it was a quick glimpse Hope you are well.
Stupida -
Hi!
Lovely Lady -
Wink wink ... (man, people will tell me I need to check my eyes soon at this rate of winking) .... ha ha . Hope all is well with you.
NKC Prajee -
Sat sri akal jee! Hum to comfooose hogaye - ek taraf tusi "Ivy League" ke ho aur dusri taraf itne bade bade dakar marte ho - woh bhi sab ke samne! Pattanu, wahey guru ki kasam, samaj hi nai araha hai! ha ha ha Shayad mooli jyada khaya hoga ...LOL!!
(in jest)
Athena -

Yeah, I did see some of the videos - do you mean the karaoke ones?
Rythm -
I wish you a very good night, sound sleep and pleasant dreams.
Loote -
Goodness, is this breaking news about gender really true? I would never have guessed in a million years had you not revealed it re kya ...
Another oldie from the days of the dinasours. I like the lyrics. Reminds me in some ways of life on Sajha. The fifteen minutes of fame that we can all claim ... he he
Main pal do pal ka shaayar hoon Pal do pal meri kahaani hai Pal do pal meri hasti hai Pal do pal meri jawaani hai
Mujhse pehle kitne shaayar Aaye aur aakar chale gaye Kuchh aahein bharkar laut gaye Kuchh naghme gaakar chale gaye Woh bhi ek pal ka kissa thhey Main bhi ek pal ka kissa hoon Kal tumse juda ho jaaoonga Woh aaj tumhaara hissa hoon Main pal do pal ka..
Kal aur aayenge nagmon ki Khilti kaliya chunne waale Mujhse behtar kehne waale Tumse behtar sunne waale Kal koi mujhko yaad kare Kyoon koi mujhko yaad kare Mashroof zamaana mere liye Kyoon waqt apna barbaad kare Main pal do pal ka..
He he... Was was going okay most of the day. Towards the end, ended up taking panga with the head honcho over something stupid he said to someone (old habits die hard I guess - his to say such things and mine to challenge them -- LOL!!). Tomorrow should be an interesting day - cant wait to get back to the office ... he he
So you and TL getting togther? Man, lucky guys! Have fun.
LOL... who doesnt like old hindi songs?? You are talking to a girl who lived in India for 5 years! I love oldies... I use to like bollywood movies too but nowadays, they dont make any good movies. I just watched Dil Chahta Hain for the umpteenth time, and as always cried! HAHA
Its not time to go to sleep yet!! I was watching a movie.. and eating fattening food (which makes me want to find a treadmill!!) :D What are you upto gorgeous lady?
That was one of my favorite movies at one time. I can relate to the characters in more ways than my anonimity will allow me to reveal on Sajha ... ha ha
