Cafe N v 17

Welcome to the 17th thread of the series.

About Us

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

chappal,

Mav - I seriously don't know, but I know what kendrabinda means. Pippermintlai peppermint bhando raicha. When I heard it the first time, I thought someone was trying to make a fool out of me.

It's piplamint..err...

Maverick -

There are plenty of people on Sajha from Boston - at one point the majority of the people on the site were from that place. Good luck in trying to find a place to crash.

Shirish -

Bhow bhow! Good to see you here. How have you been? So partying this weekend, huh? Have fun! I noticed your interest in sports in the other threads. Will you be watching the games this weekend? One of the things I always wanted to but never got to, or could never afford to, was watch a game at Fenway against the Yankees. I got tickets for other games but could never get one against the Yankess without loosing an arm and a leg. Hopefully they'll do well against TB this weekend. As for the Pats, they're still my favorites to go all the way this year in spite of camera-gate Please say hi to Dimple and Restaurant Review if you meet them. Have a great weekend and stop by more often.

NKC - LOL!! You are Ivy at heart and Ivy in spirit! Ha ha ... getting way to silly

aight folks off for a bit

.Good Afternoon folks!

wow the thread has raced and gone beyond my reach

i will address some who i remember so those who are missed, please forgive me (reminds me of that bryan adams' no :D)

danny bro,
see, i had replied to you the other day, but wrote some controversial/dislikable message for our own sn di in the same post and hence had to delete the post later on when she sulked about it. :P don't think i ignored you bhanera ke! tesaile pahilai kura clear gardya ni :D (hope you understand that bit nepali...even if you don't, no worries )

so how is it going 'down' and 'under'? hahaha..hope all's well. yah me too emotional a person hence the extreme use of emoticons ...makes the task of annoying others so easy hoina? like if you want to scold someone, say whatever you want to and put a little smiley at the end.. good to see you mate and nice songs btw! we should definitely sit together and drink..wonder when it's gonna be though

sndu,
yah i was quite amazed to see you online at that hour...but i was ecstatic as well to see i found someone to irritate ...no luck though

capty,
hahaha..just throwing darts in the dark as i said. i know it's hard to know people in virtual terms hoina? :P... needless to say, i admire you for whatever i know of you --virtually sahi and regardless of what you perceive my image to be like . hope all's well

mav,
...me and scoring girls? the only score i know is in soccer (or football for us asians) :D....seriously, girls whom i like (or my type of girls) don't like the irritant and over janne me..they like calm/composed/thoughtful people like you. . so shall i ask the same question, you put forth for me, to you ?

camo bro,
i read you somewhere (may be in chautari) that you are dark . :D. may be that's the reason why you chose to be camoflaged? wahahahaha


nkc bro,
hajurko barnan ta hajar jibro bhayeko shesh nag le ta nasakya mero sarkarle kaso gari sakla? hajur gad gad bhayeko khabar sunna paunda hami pani gad gad bhai bakseka chhoun

rythm,
it's comparatively easier to imagine what a person is like when he/she writes stories no? i think i know u (quite a bit) as a person...although can't guarantee if you turn out to be double-faced LOL..i suspect that's the reason for just one eye in the profile? ...jk ni..timi ta pheri chitta dukhai halchha ali ali khutta tanda pani

avani,
me and flips have been around for a while ni...i have seen her growing literally from a toddler to an adult LOL...tesaile hola ni, ki kasto flips? ...are you guys similar or pole apart? just curious? in my case, i have befriended more with people who are extreme opposites to me..dunno for some reason, i tend to connect to them better? ..although i can mingle with anything that moves and talks :D :P

flips,
i don't peek in from behind the stage. if i am around, that means you will most probably see me yapping as well ..you seem to be a veteran of hide and seek game ho? hahaha... dhyappa diun?

shirish sir,
blimey! what a pleasant surprise. tell us if your sherlock holmes hat is on, may come in handy here to come to some conclusion ke tesaile :D

hajur ko charan ma euta impromptu ghazal rakhdai chhu, galti chha bhane kripaya sunna paaun LOL

aap aaye to bahar aayi
aap aaye to bahar aayi

Big hello to the rest..if I missed any..

This song is for you all.. Have a great weekend.. and gutu mutu nite nite.. :-)

Hello People.. I am back for some time before I head out again :D. I am sure that no one is going to be here but as this is my journal.. I will go on and blabber all I want anyways I met this friend that moved away from here... we have spent a lot of time together and made some amazing memories. So I went to meet her, and others of course and they kept me waiting in the Parking lot for 45 minutes So I went to the mall with another friend... tried on a lot of things, and bought none I then went back to my friends' place and talked about the past and laughed till we were crying. It was a great day. Oh oh... and I also went to this really good chinese place and had some duck and shrimp!! (end boring journal!!)

Camo: Shah Rukh Khan was my absolute favorite for about 10 years or more. I am not a person who resorts to favoritism but his eyes totally drove me crazy!!

Flippy: You have a greaaat time too :D

Cappie: I just wrote a big LONG totally boring paragraph about how my day was. LOL, I am sure you will totally get bored by reading it... that is if you read it. I doubt that you are going to be in here during the weekend.. But if you are. Howdie Captain? LOL. Tell me how your day was... I am the only one who blabbers about everything here!!

SNDY MUMMY jiiiiii, Pailaago! Aap ko busy dekhkar mann karta hain ki mein aapke paas aake aapka saara kaam kardo! I cant watch my mummy do all the work! I hope you have a fantastic weekend with my dewar or is it nanda??

Mav: Please give me the liberty to laugh on your face. LOL. Dont forget that though other people might not know how old you are... I know your age... and let me assure you that you are in no position to call me fuchi. But I am doing great nonetheless! Thanks for asking sir. And I hope it is the same with you!

Nepal ko chora: I just had one class and I did not miss it today. And the Cafe hardly misses me. I am just a guest who pops by often (a lot often nowadays). The real veterans of the cafe are the only ones missed. How are you doing sir?

Uncle L... :D Who told you mero chitta dukhi halchha bhanera? Not really... or maybe Whoa now I am confused! lol. Awww. its nice to know that you think you know me, but knowing a person is totally difficult. I am the only one who really knows whats going on in my mind (a sentence right out of my social psych. book)!! My social psych. class is really helping me understand people better and I am still totally confused about it!!

TL: I would totally love to make "Kyonki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu thi" but I am afraid it wont have any drama in it. It will be filled with Saas-Bahu love and one singing praises about the other. LOL. We are the best saas-bahu tag team ever!

Avani/Audrey/Cerine/Jugs/Lemoney... and anyone else that I have missed... Howdie? Hope you have a wonderful evening and a great weekend.

P.S: Cappie... no songs? (whoa! was that long or what??)

And here I am with my "oldie" for the day! Another beautiful song

And here's something not so old... but a beautiful song nonetheless..

Sorry wrong song

Buenos noche mi amigos. :)

Rythm fuchhi ,
I do can say u..coz i dunno ur age..so i can assume any thing

Here's the song!!

In cafe spirit

One of my favourite tracks. Hope u'll enjoy it :)



Har ek muskarahat muskaan nahi hoti
Nafrat ho ya muhabbat aasan nahi hoti
Aansoo khushi k gham k hotay hain aik jaisay
Inn aansuoon ki koi pehchaan nahi hoti

Har ik muskurahat muskan nahi hoti

Har baat hai waheen tak , matlab badal gaye hain
Dil dagmaga gaya tha per hum sambhal gaye hain
Aisay bhi aatay hain din k log jeetay hain lakin
Hota hai sub kuch per jaan nahi hoti

Har ek muskarahat muskaan nahi hoti
Nafrat ho ya mohabbat aasan nahi hoti

Hotay hain iss jahan mai
Chehray bhi aik jaisay , ghoonghat bhi aik jaisay, sehray bhi aik jaisay
Sab janti hain nazrain pehchanti hain nazrain
Apni parai surat anjaan nahi hoti

Har aik muskurahat muskaan nahi hoti
Nafrat ho ya mohabbat aasan nahi hoti

Kya cheez hai ye dil bhi , ho jaye jab akaila
Rahta hai saath iss k yadoon ka aik maila
Duniya bhi choot jaye ,har aas toot jaye
Mehfil kabhi yeh dil ki veeran nahi hoti

Aansoo khushi k gham k hotay hain aik jaisay
Inn aansuoon ki koi pehchaan nahi hoti
