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!
