I think it started sometime during the summer or right before it. I was lost and lonely and didn't have much to do in life besides studying. I didn't have many friends and the ones I had were either not in touch with me or they simply didn't care. I was busy a bit and pretended to become busier to avoid the loneliness I had. But, at last, I had to give up. I started feeling like I was suffocating because there were so many things I wanted to share with my friends but I had none to do so. That feeling of suffocation led me to search for groups of Nepali people around the globe. I was pretty darn sure there was a blog or something like that where people meet and talk about things. Luckily, I found about sajha. Since then, a new chapter added to my life.

 

I began with a username "DrKanchho"; don't know why I chose that but probably because of my educational background. Well, it was fun. I got to learn about stuffs ranging from maintaining status to impressing girls. The tips on latter didn't work that well though. I had arguments and discussions with peoples - older people, younger people, professionals, housewifes, and so on. I was having a good time both ways - learning and helping people learn as well as arguing with people. Then I found about the popular shoutbox. I started logging in having small chats with people I didn't know real names of, let alone knowing them in real life. It killed my boredom, made me laugh, and allowed me to make others laugh whenever I could.

 

Then another username came into being "Jantare1". Had to get this one because I wanted to get a bit rebellious. I wanted to shout at people, mock them, and express my sarcasm with some obscene words whenever necessary, which I for some reason didn't do under my previous ID. Well, once I started using this ID, I never thought about going back to my old ID because it's much fun. I stuck with Jantare1 and that was a right decision as I look back now. Sajha's chat got improvised which lured me, so I became a regular visitor of sajha chat again. I resumed conversation with some people I had chatted with previously and met some new characters. It's fun, it's great. And about the views I express, it makes me feel free. I write whatever I want, poke fun at others and make people laugh. I like it.

 

When I started using sajha, I never thought it was going to be so addictive. I used to use facebook a lot. Now, sajha has proved itself to be the victor crushing my desire for facebook. I got friends of all ages, random professions, and a variety of opinions. I fought with some on some threads, while I made good friends with some too. But I never knew anyone personally and I still don't. I didn't quite thought that such thing could be possible. I can say that I have these friends I talk to and have fun on a regular basis, but I don't know who's inside the ID. Well, do I care? No, I'm just happy to have them in my life and share things. I'm just glad that I have people to share jokes with, to say stupid things and laugh at them. My sajha journey has been wonderful.

 

Now, it's time to change. There are other things in life that need priority at this moment and I know I will regret later for not doing what I can now. Sad, but I have to refrain from sajha for the time being. The only purpose of this thread is to remember all that fun I had in sajha; just wanted to remember how this website has been a great friend for me during my hard times. (Above, I just said I was lonely and stuff but there's more to that; I just chose to keep some things under the hood for now). I'm not looking for popularity or anything,  just wanted to thank some wonderful people I met here. When you come and talk/share things on sajha, you might think that you're having fun, it's just something you like doing. But, if you look on the other side, you're touching people's lives.

 

I am not sure where I should start. But here it goes, a random list of people I can remember off the top of my head.

• Damaru bro, Lahare bro, IH bro, Peaceinheaven, Footy bro, Gracey, Aashi, Kritishka,  Rahul bro, Dalle bro, Neo bro, Mulmiz bro, Chaurey bro, Rakshyas bro, Curie, Nepted bro,  Prashne bro, Thapa kaaji, Chamatkar bro,samikshya,.…..and it goes on…..Thank you all for the wonderful time. You guys have been great friends, source of motivation, jokers, teasers, so on and so forth.

I hope we'll meet someday at some stage of our life. I keep looking forward to that day.

 

I'd like to apologize to those who I have hurt directly or indirectly. If I ever said something really mean to you, please take it as sarcasm because that's what it was meant to be.

San dai, thank you for being the guardian of this site. You're doing great job of connecting fellow Nepalese, keep it up!

Sajha is an addiction and I am using it very heavily too. Even one of my friends said to me "साझा चला को पैसा पाउछस कि क्या हो", cause i am here all the time. Anyway, its always fun meething you and other people over here in sajha... And we will keep meeting in this virutal world...

Now, after carefully analyzing your post(i do that sometimes you know), i found some incosistency on your writing. केहि नाम  हरु को  पछाडी  को bro छ, तर केहि को चाई नाम मात्र छ sis  छैन .  दाल मा केहि कालो हो कि पुरै दाल नै कालो हो?  उत्तर पाए आभारी हुने थिए 

Hey Jantare, I'll be sad to see you leave sajha.

I hope you will designate someone else for the position of "Chief Homey Criticiser."
Or do you think this position will be empty?

Just joking.

Hey, so you said that you have more serious things to pursue in life and that you will be leaving sajha. That sounds pretty drastic. Why such a dramatic change? What happened? Would you mind sharing your realizations? I'm sure many of us, like me, could benefit from your change of heart. What changed? Really.

Can't sajha and the change in your heart/life go hand in hand? Do you have to leave us?

Reading Jantare's appreciation of San dai made me think that perhaps sajha.com is the ideal place for Nepal to have a national conversation. Seriously. I cannot think of any other place in this day and age, better than sajha, for all the Nepalese that can log on to a computer to come and discuss this very important topic in our countries history.

Jantare, what do you think?

Five ten mins of sajha surfing doesnot hold u back while pursuing ur priorities.it may if u r constantly arguing tho. Then u r thinking worda in ur head getting mad and thinking about getting back qll day. Problems with new sajha user is they go overboard arguing with others for no reason. Remember u can never win an argument as we all are ego tripped and we all think we are the sytt living and going to schoolin usa and what not.so its pointless to argue. Like many others u will come back to sajha too but being a quiet observer not argumentative or say commentative like i r right now.it just means u have evolved and learned to use sajha in ur life.welcome to the next level.

साझा भन्दा पनि साझा च्याट को अडिक्सन भा जस्तो छ जनतरे लाई

जस्ले जे भने पनि साझा छोड्न त सकिदैन नि - टाईम टाईम मा आउने - लगातार नआउने अरु जरुरी काम छ भने - एसो गरे कसो होला 

जन्तरे ब्रो,

चटक्कै माया चाँही न मारौं है । ब्यस्तता बाबजूद आउनु को मज्जा, कामबाट चोरि चोरि चियाउनु को मज्जा दीप ब्रो को धुम्बाराही देखी नक्साल सम्मको झ्याल र बार्दलीहरुमा चियाउनु जत्ती कै मज्जा हुन्छ । आशा छ जन्तर् मन्तर गरेर भए नि जन्तरे ब्रो साझा र च्याट बक्स मा आउनु हुने नै छ । 

यो अरु केही होइन दुई चार दिन देखि मलाई एक जोर पन्जा पठाइदेउ दाइ भन्दै थियो .....

यसो अलिकती ढिला के भा थियो, अब साझा नै चलाऊन छोड्छु भन्न थाल्यो..... पख न तिम्री भाउजुलाई तिम्रो लागि नेपालबाट खास्साको पन्जा पठाइदिनु भनेको छु ...

अनि त्यो पन्जा लगाएर च्याटमा गफ हाँके पनि भयो, कुराकानीमा लेख्दै बसे पनि भयो

बड जान्नेसुन्ने भएर साझामा आउनै बन्दै गर्छु पो भन्छ केटो..... त्यस्तो कुरा पनि गर्छन् कँही?

 Oye Jantu, 
Kata hidis ho gathhe.. sathi haru ho dhanna mannu pardaina 
aaile jantu ko kothaima Gaayera kathalo samateyra lyaunchhu :P
i knw wer he is livin :P
muhahahahahaha

I knw you will come back Jantare bro,

"शुखशान्ती जिवनमा तिम्रो छाईरहोस्
सफलताले हर कदम चुमोस्"

 Why'd you quit though? 

Good knowing you. Let me know if you came down to the Bay Area someday. We'll go for a pint of beer. 

Good luck w/ your endeavors. 

 Hyaa maile jantare ji bhanyo bhanera risaunu huncha ta? jabo tetti sano kura maa pani yeti thulo decision line...I dislikes hai baru aba dekhi "Ji" bhandina la ....

Aaucha aaucha....jantare ko naya resolution 2011 ko chai naya username ma sajha chalaune jasto cha....

moraa le mero naam halna birse chha hahahahaha.. just kidding

हिजो च्याटमा IH ब्रो सँग सान दाईलाई भनेर प्रेसर कुकरको सिठ्ठीको नि एउटा sound effect राख्नुपर्‍यो भन्नि कुरो भको थियो; यो धागो लेखेर सुतेँ। राती सपनामा त सान दाईले "च्याटमा कुकर को सिठ्ठी sound effect राख्द्या छु" भनेर screen shot समेत राखेर यो धागोमा रिप्लाई गर्या देखेँ। अगिन गएर बजाउन खोज्या त, रख्देकै रहेनछ नि! लौ न सान दाई, राख्नुपर्‍यो; एसरी सपनामै आएर आश देखाएपछी त पुरा गर्नु परो नि गाँठे!
राछस ब्रो, केही कालो छैन; तिम्रो त तनै कालो, मनै कालो! त्यही भएर कालो देख्या होला! sis नराख्या किन त्यो त सारा जगतलाई थाहा छ नि!
होमेजि: बल्ल साझा छोड्न लाग्यो एस्ले, यो खुशी मा भोली त ड्याम्म खसिको मासु र भात बजाउनी हो भनेर सोच्या थियौ होला, खाएउ बडो भाग! कहीँ जानी वाला छैन म!
pshrestha78: you are right bro. i guess it's better spending 15-20 minutes here on sajha than checking online deals on stuffs which i never buy.
लहरे, फूटी, र राहुल ब्रो: बात सहि हो, साझामा अझै कती उद्दण्ड मच्चाउनु छ, कहाँ कहिलै बिश्राम लिनु नि! त्यो बियर घुट्क्याउनी कुरो चाँही साह्रै घत लागो!
जि टि ब्रो: आफ्ले रातभर उघ्दै बुन्या पन्जा चाँही क्याम्पसमा खैर्या बानहरुलाई बेच्नी, अनि मलाई चाँही नेपालबाट मगाउनी रे? खास्साको हो कि खासाको चाँही हो, के जान्नु!
प्रश्ने र दुखे ब्रो, अनि पि आइ यच: प्रश्ने ब्रो को कठालो समात्नी धम्की र पि आइ यच को त्यो ठुस्स परेको "I dislikes" लाई नकार्न सकिएन। दुखे ब्रो, एही नाम रख्छु; अली ठुलै कान्डमा नमुछियीकन के नाम फेर्नु र गाँठे!
बैरे ब्रो: लोङ ट्याम नो सी! के गर्नु ब्रो, राती निद्रा लाग्नी बेलाँ लेख्या, तेस्माथि यो खप्पर दुखेर दिनसम्म सास्ती दियिरा थ्यो, बिर्सेंछ भन्या!
मुल्मिज ब्रो: धन्यवाद ब्रो, हेरम कत्तिको सफल भैन्छ; अरु केही हात नलागे नि साझा छ, यहाँ गफ चुट्दै बसम्ला! त्यही दुई लाइन same to you भन्नि मन थियो, तर २४ x ७ धोकेर टिल्ल हुनी मान्छेलाई अली सुहाउदैन जस्तो लागो!

btw: i was pretty sure about leaving sajha, but i realized that i still need its help - in many regards. and it's worth spending half an hour here than spending that time thinking about useless things. so... i guess my best excuse for pretending to leave sajha is "BAZINGA!!"

तर २४ x ७ धोकेर टिल्ल हुनी मान्छेलाई अली सुहाउदैन जस्तो लागो

हा हा हा हा

" हिजो होशमा पढेँ, तिम्रो प्रस्थानमा खिन्न भएँ

फेरी एक प्याला चढाएँ, बेहोशीमा फेरी केहि लेखेँ "

वेलकम ब्याक जन्तरे

 Jantare, I am naturally quite sad to hear that you are staying in sajha.  But my khasi thanks you!  I had seen him nervously praying all day that you might stay and that his life might be sparred. 

Welcome back, my friend. We're glad you've decided to stay in the sajha family despite being such a trouble maker. 

Sajha chalauna matra parcha anek Nautanki dekhincha :-P
Anyway bro sajha chodne bichar maile ni barsau dekhi garya ho aaile samma sakya chaina :-)
