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

Schoollife -

"ani hami haru ma kohi muslim or jewish cha bhane pani afno afno religion ko jad ko subhakamana"

"Jad"? Hai allah! I dont think they have "jad" in those religions ... ha ha ha. Alcohol strictly prohibited

Brig Ma'am -

Are you really like that? LOL!!! I have heard of people inviting others for dinner and making their guests do their own dishes, but making them cook the food ... ha ha ah ... that's really funny!!

Gotta grab some lunch.

Catch you all in a bit.

Captain...
Ufffff. As you started with this, I thought I should say it back to you. I love uffing people BTW. :P Juggy is my EMA... which is yet to start because I have to get married in order to officially start it. There was nothing with Mav., he is a cute kid :P (sorry Mav, I know for a fact that men dont like being called kids). Unle L... is my UNCLE... who I was kidding with! So it all ends up to you, and now I hope you understand how deep my feelings and emotions run for you. :P. I am no flirt, hence you cannot compare me to the famouus Uncle L!! (I hope you understand that :P)
On a serious note, how are you doing, my non-cousin??!!:P (Damn.. that wasn't serious either! crap... when am I ever going to develop a serious gene??)

OKies... me outtie.. gotta meet some friends and have lunch. You guys continue with the fun!!

Camo......
Did not see you!!:P
How are you doing? Ussi dhamal hai to tusi bhi koi kam nahi ho ji!!
See you after some time!! :D

LOL Rythm! But it's too late now - the divorce has gone through and I have vowed  never to love again. This is becoming a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions - it's got elements of love, vanity, hope, disappointment, unmet expectations, missed opportunities etc. Perhaps Sum Off (or you) can make a nice plot out of it. ha ha ha

Camo - He he he, yeah I wonder what Thapap went through

Thapap - You should tell your story to the world - I am sure you will have a very receptive and responsive audience :)

Brig Ma'am/Loote - Just heard back from San bro. He's gonna take a look at the problems with my post this evening. So stay tuned for a few updates (minus the video though)

hello peeps!

i love you all

How To Make Women Happy

The Point System
(advice according to women)

In the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.

You make the bed, but forget to add the decorative pillows (0)

LOL funny....n true :-)

LOL Loote - that was cracking!

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.

But maybe I am taking that really good piece of humor too seriosly ... LOL!!

BTW, what caused you to post that? Someone been giving you grief of late, huh?

(In jest)

Gotta run to a meeting. Will be back later.

LOL @ Loote. that was a good one.
You develop a noticeable potbelly and resort to loose jeans and baggy Hawaiian shirts (-30)
