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

LOL@ SNDY and Mav ...

Dude, I am not expert on these matters, but if I were to guess, and Loote the casanova can weigh in on this, if you want someones number or their sisters, ticking them off will prolly get you neither ... ha ha ha.

NPL2US - Hi bud (if I can call you that). How's it going?

Brig Ma'am - Yeah, seems like Sum Off's on vacation or something, huh?

:)

Morning ya'll!!

Sndy--Hi to you as well...aba k garnu we don't seem to have much to talk about, but sajha at times...hehe.. besides, they say "something is always better than nothing.."

Camo--khoii...not sure where she got that idea instigated in her....anyway, forget that any of us mentioned that hai ta..:-)

Maverick--If my memory serves me right, avani=earth in Hindi at least..hehehe...

Audrey--I don't really write..It was just this one time that I felt the urge to pen some random thoughts...thats all...it never grew into a full grown hobby...unlike you...lets hear more from your side hunna?

Captain--Best friends fade with time..so these days I've opted to tab "good friends" to whom ever I can continue to be friends with for over a day or a week..hehehe...anyway, french as a language sounds very appealing..at least to my ears..may be I should get my cousin to bring more French movies and not Korean...
let me know if anybody is interested in Korean 101...I can proudly say, of course after hours and hours of Korean sops and movies (at times) I have mastered the basics...hehe..

Flips--wouldn't you second what I just mentioned above..anyway, work or no work yet?
ping me if you are at home...as for loote's creativity I should have had my lips sealed..hehe...

To the rest of the folks--Happy Friday! and GOod afternoon!! Stay safe over the weekend

Avani, TL and I actually love talking about Sajha, specially our own cafe..he he..it's been a while we haven't really met..but it's so much fun, hoina?

Capt. saab, hopefully he drops in at the Cafe again or more often..

Hey Avani -

I've watched a few Korean movies - mostly the independent types. But apparently theres a whole slew of romantic comedies, "chick flicks" to some, that's gaining popularity in Nepal. Watched one of them once. I thought it was okay - not too much into romantic comedies - but my friend really liked it .

As for friends, very true. Frankly speaking, I don't even know what friendship means to me these days. I will say though, in line with your thinking, that it is really quality versus quantity that matters to me. I tend to have more fun with three people I know well in my living room rather than a thousand strangers at some hep and swanky party ... ha ha. But that's just me.

How's school treating you? Do you miss Boston? I was in Boston earlier this week BTW.

You have a good weekend.

Brig Ma'am -

Any special plans for the weekend?

Who is in Boston??

Maverick..not me! :P

The last french movie i watched was Audrey Tatou's "Love me,Love me not" or sthg along that line. I juss lurve that gal.
I must also confess that I watched with my pals "Chakde" or "Give ass" as my lil bro likes to say! :P
Watched "Roman Holiday" for the umpteenth time last nite. Classics are amazing!

Avani...can't believe you ain't writing!

Audrey - Can't believe you are not writing! Hehehe

Mav -

I *was* in Boston, my home for many years. Not anymore. I visit sometimes for work.

Flips -

Nothing too special. Might get together with some friends and hang out. Get some exercise - that's as much detail as I prolly should give here. ha ha What about you?

Audrey -

Somebody else at work at mentioned that movie to me - might check it out soon if I get the chance.

Brig Ma'am -

What's for lunch today?

Where are the rest of the folks?

Dunno where all the others are. Am being a proper Insomniac. I might even start reading which iwill basically make me even more wide -awake!

Flips...heres to you :P

Ha ha ... Audrey. Well have fun reading. BTW, what are you reading? (if you care to share)

The mermaid chair.
Tis by the same author who wrote The secret life of bees. This one evoked some memories of people i used to know or at least i thought i knew :)
