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


Previous editions


(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)
 

That's why I say find someone who accepts you for what you are and whom you can accept for what they are, or just stay single - life is too short to be spent figuring out the other person forever. If you couldn't figure out someone in a year, two years or three years, chances are you never will.

right on caps ! ...... i think women do accept men at the end of the day for what they are, but they would still not give up complaining

Loote Puppy - I was looking for a "chaalako peti". ROFL

sndy - I got an opportunity to be here and you got busy. Such irony! :-(

Flips said :

" npl2us - The time has come for the eradication of kellu-ria perhaps, hoina ta? "

But how? Have you found him someone? LLCCMG MG, NPL2US. And who is it if I might ask? ha ha

Hope you are well Flips. How's Av doing these days - don't see much of her here .

SNDY said :

" Btw, I'm going to be very very very busy in coming weeks ..."

Hey, that cant be an excuse to not come here, please.

Loots - You know women better than I do, so if you say so, it must be true

.

Av is doing good, a bit busy in her academics. I shall convey your message to her, if you insist re kya! Reagarding npl2us, yeah he acutely suffered from Kellu-ria a while back.

Yes, I insist re kya ... ha ha. Tell her I said hi, please.

NPL2US - Lucky you! So it's "yespali ta jhai parne" for you huh? Don't forget to send us the invitation, ok? LOL!! (in jest)

Ho ta Flipty. ho baa ho. Jyotishi is saying complete eradication by December.

Capty bro, thanks for LLCCMGMGing me. I need that MGMG part so badly, can't even explain it here! And of course, i will invite you all. you gotta dance in "badaa baaa" song tho'. he he he

Aight folks anid folkies, I am bailing out for today. will catch ya'll tomorrow. keep on rocking hai ta!

Ha ha ha NPL2US bro.

But why are you bailing out so soon? Already 5 pm there? :)

Brig Ma'am/FLips/Loote (and the rest) -

I have a proposal: What do you think about having NPL2US host the next edition of the Cafe? That way he can't keep popping in twice a day - once to say hi and then later to say bye. He'll have to come more often to keep the thread alive, make sure everyone is doing well etc ... LOL!!! And Lemon should be next on the list. And then all the elusive ones too ...

Only half in jest this time

:)

.LOL @ Captain! ha ha ha! If we ask npl2us bro to open Cafe N version 18, he will be posting his heart out in here. I know he will also be "worried" about people not posting in the cafe he has started. LOL...

Captain, Does that mean, there's a reason behind why we see your posts pretty frequently today? ;-)

.

Loote Puppy - Hahaha....Chalako peti for pitai ni, k ko waistko laagi? Duh! Save french siffon for a special ocassion, perhaps for my wedding gift re kya ajha! (Just being silly here)

You say, "It doesn't matter, you have one too." (-800)

LOL..... -800... that was funny!! Uncle L whats happening with you today??

Captain: "This is becoming a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions - it's got elements of love, vanity, hope, disappointment, unmet expectations, missed opportunities etc." LOL... Amazing that you could bring all these components out of our short lived virtual love story:P (or is it a tragic story?:P) One question though.. just curious... the vanity part... whose vanity??

-----------------------------------------
An Italian, and Irishman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a
construction site.

The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian
guy, "You're in charge of sweeping." To the Irishman he says, "You're
in charge of shoveling." And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of
supplies."

He then says: "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you
guys to make a dent in that there pile of sand."

So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, and when he returns, the
pile of sand is untouched. He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you
sweep any of it?"

The Italian replies in a heavy accent, "I Gotta no broom. You say the
Chinese-a guy that a he was in-a charge of-a supplies, but he no here,
he hasa disappeared and I could no find-a him."

Then the foreman turns to the Irishman and asks, "Didn't I leave you
in charge of shoveling, why didn't you shovel?"

The Irishman replies in
his heavy brogue, "Aye, ye did, lad. But I
counno find meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinese guy in charge of
supplies, but I counna fin' that lad either."

The foreman is really angry now, and yells, "Where in hell is that
Chinese guy?"

Just then, the Chinese fellow jumps from behind the pile of sand and
yells.....

"SUPPLIES!!!"
