To each his own - I personally like the thread but I suppose it may not be to everyones taste. The one comment I have - and only because you asked, Samsara - pertains to the question "why chose the name nautanki?" There is a bit of history there. If I had to convey it in a nutshell it was done as a satirical response to a comment on one of the threads. The word "nautanki" was directed at people taking things lightly on Sajha, which included some regulars to what has now become Nautankiland. The very absurdity of the word made it funny and catchy in a playful way. I think people chose the word to laugh at themselves - not so much mockingly but in a light vein and with humility.I don't think anyone at the time thought it would grow the way it has and turn into this relay of threads. The name evolved and just stuck thread after thread and here it is in its present form. Anyways, just thought I'd throw that out there if it means anything to you and also for the benefit of the larger audience (in case anyone wants to stop by since its open to all who want to have fun and are willing to be civil to one other) Best regards.
