Ok I think this is now going a little further than I had anticipated. I have been accused of being NAS and/or been compared to him (n-1) times till today. After the N'th time today I am forced to write an explanation about it.

I thought it was uncanny of people to observe SAN = NAS simply since it's backwards spelling of my name. The reason for hatred possibly goes back a long time back when NAS was posting semi nude images and I was not doing anything about it. I was more concerned about 'freedom of speech' than trying to understand the sentiment that sajha had become a part of a family for so many people. Visitors started feeling negativity towards the admin who was too concerned about 'freedom of speech' that he began to ignore the meaning of the word sajha itself. Sajha began to be not too sajha for all when NAS's semi nude photos were allowed in ramjham the photoalbum site of sajha. For this people began to make conjectures that SAN must be NAS if he allows such things and if he can do nothing about it. Thinking back, I should not have allowed that content but just as it has done for you, sajha has been a growing up experience for myself. You live and learn. I live and learn. Now since July there is not semi nude images publicly in ramjham.

The theory that NAS = SAN also gained some momentum when we both started posting videos at vimeo.com. The fact is that vimeo is the best site for High Definition videos thesedays so it's a probable coincidence. It's like you and me having a saw if we are beginners in carpentry.

Anyways, to cut the story short, NO, NAS and SAN are not the same person. We are two different people perhaps we do have some common interests, but SAN is not equal to NAS. I hope this is recognized by everyone because, I have no interest in being someone that I am not!

I hope this clears up any confusion. I don't believe I enjoy policing the users of sajha and I generally hope that things will get cleared up on their own without any intervention on my part. But this issue seems to have been creeping up once in a while and I want to make sure the visitors here understand that sajha is not here to fool you. It's here to provide a space for us Nepalis to chill out from the monotony of life specially for most of us who are far from homeland. I hope we can use it well. I feel it my moral obligation to clear this up since most of you make a personal choice when you choose to spend your valuable time and energy in sajha. It's your choice that makes sajha a fun place to be. The world is becoming such a mess, I like to use my energy to spread more positive energy than to try to wallow in any negativity.

Nas, as I had requested to you last week, if someone is scolding you for being me, it makes sense for you to tell them the truth - instead of prolonging the confusion and try to make them believe that i'm in fact you!

Anyways, I hope this clears up any confusion and I hope we can move on towards better times at sajha! As always, my thoughts come out unedited and any inconvenience caused is unintentional.
