Saachi just can’t help running her mouth, can she? She’s referencing the party that started being planned on this page, by the way.

Guess the party would have happened already.
Though it seems Holly doesn’t remember much.
Or maybe she’s wondering if Saachi actually recalls the same events Holly does… Saachi doesn’t seem to be high on accuracy.
I think Saachi has a hard time putting two and two together and getting anything much above three.
She kind of puts her mouth in gear and lets it go, without engaging the brain.
Well, at least we’re going to find out what happened; judging by Holly’s face, it’ll be interesting, to say the least. Plus, YEAH, more Saachi, even though I still don’t know why I’m happy!
Also, I hope Saachi and Tiffany become a thing. Let’s hope so, because it’ll mean more screen time for our favorite gabby Indian lesbian. She is Indian, right?
I think Saachi is an Indian name, but i could be wrong.
And yes, i hope she gets together with Red too.
Saachi is a Hindi name, (meaning “Blessed”,) but it’s not necessarily Indian. While India does have a large Hindi-speaking population, so do quite a few other countries, such as Nepal, Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana, Suriname, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Malaysia. So she might be from any of those places.
And of course, it could be none of the above; given that the MC takes place in California, it could also be that her parents simply chose the name because it sounded exotic. I know of a couple who gave their daughter a Muslim first name, even though they are both Irish Catholics from the East Coast; they just liked it.
And here I’ve been assuming that Saachi was a Japanese name. Which apparently it isn’t; it doesn’t get any hits on the JDIC which is really good at finding Japanese names and all their variations. Never bothered to look it up before. And I haven’t really known anyone who spoke Hindi for twenty years now.
Anyway, it was established way back in I Dream of a Nerd that all these kids are in middle school/junior high. So how old are they supposed to be now?
@Kattgirl – Ah. Thanks for the info.
@Kattgirl Thank you!
Still, it doesn’t seem like she’s Caucasian.
When we first see Melvin, BJ and Red, they were suppose to be at the end of middle School or the beginning of high school of about 15 years old, but, that was at the second half of the 9th grade. Since that time we had two to three month in the 9th grade and now three month of summer vacation, so now we had about six months since we first saw them. Depending on when there birthday are, they are probably 16 years old now. This is a rough approximation of how old they are.
Now JJ has just join them and last year she was in grade school and in six grade, so she was probably 12 years old then, but, she probably had a birthday too and is now 13 and in the 7th grade now with Melvin and BJ.
This is just a rough approximation of how old everyone is. Depending on when everybody having a birthday is, it could be year younger or older.
Saachi is definitely a lesbian and is only interested in girls and not boys. When BJ saw Melvin interest in Holly and that Saachi was Holly friend, he tried to make a move Saachi and she verbally tore him down and did number on him. That when we find out that Saachi is a lesbian and is interested in Red, because, she see a girl in Red or Tiffany. Red or Tiffany had just been turned into a girl at that time of maybe only two or three week, so she still thinking more like a guy seeing a girl than another girl looking at another girl like Saachi does. The only thing in question is, will Red start to see herself as a women in a women body or she will continue to see herself as a man or boy in a women body. We know who Malvin, BJ, Holly and Saachi are, but, don’t know who Tiffany will end up being yet, because, she doesn’t know who she is yet. With Tiffany running away from being a girl and trying to recover her past identity as Clearance, she will spend as much time with Melvin and BJ, Deborah and her crowd along limited influence with Patricia who wont the be there to piece Tiffany ear with now ear rings. Being around Melvin and BJ, Tiffany could end up being BJ girlfriend assuming that Clamor doesn’t break it up or something. We could end up with a situation of Saachi trying to get Tiffany away from BJ and Clamor trying to get BJ away from Tiffany. But, yes, Saachi is interested in any unattached girl that doesn’t seem to be interested in guy or might be possible candidates to be her Lesbian partner like JJ.
@Tom Sewell
There are no direct hits for “Saachi”, but “Sachiko” is common Japanese girls name meaning “Child of Bliss”. It’s Diminutive, “Sachi” is also commonly used.
In sanskrit, “Saachi” means truth. “Sachi”, It’s the name of the consort or Indra, King of the Gods. It’s possible that the names are just differently translated version of the same name.
“Saatchi” is an old Persian surname meaning “Watchmaker”.
@Larry:
It’s unlikely that BJ and Red would hook up, especially because BJ has eyes for Clamor.
Plus it was previously shown Red was still attracted to women. Though Red could still be Bi.
Saachi mentioning that she finds JJ to be “kinda cute” would seem to confirm that she mainly swings that way, and that Red is not simply an exception to a trend.
Hey guys, for once I may be in the same boat as most of you on this one, so let’s go on parts.
1- As you know, I didn’t have any input on Saachi’s conception, I don’t even know what were the original plans for her, though I do have my own plans for her now, I even had to search the origin of her name as most of you just did. But, now that I have to work her character from now own, I decide that Saachi is Indian from her mother side, and American from her father side, this is mostly for me to avoid falling into stereotypes with her, but still having a chance to work with a more varied cast.
2 @Tom Sewell Okay, this was already explained on the comments back when JJ was introduced, but the short story is this: When The Melvin Chronicles started a couple of years ago, the setting was at High School with a cast on their fifteen, there was even the High School tag on the location info before I came along (Also, there is a new tag for Red’s school if anyone wants to check the name!), so I started to write my ideas with that on mind, and now there is even a story that requires some characters to be close to their sixteen. As for what was stated back at Jeanie Bottle, I check back and even consulted with CD, the only comments in regards the setting was Jeanie stating the type of clothes she used back in junior high, and BJ commenting that Melvin has a crush on Holly since grade school, none of this comments go against the current High School setting and we decide that there was no need for a retcon, so Melvin is on high school at his fifteen and Jeanie just didn’t care enough to check the ages of “her nerds” at the time. Also, Larry is right about JJ being thirteen, and just so this timeskip isn’t just on name only, BJ did in fact turn sixteen during the summer.
Thank you for this info Carlos. Much appreciated.
Who remembers what they did at that age?
It varies from person to person. I once read an account of one person that claim to remember being born and gave a description of the process that the doctor used during that particular birth and the Dr. confirmed what he was saying. I remember having a discussion with my older brother about a show that use to be on called “the peoples choice” and that surprised bother who was about 10 years old when it last air on TV. I was like about three years old. I told him, I don’t remember much about that show, but, I DO REMEMBER THAT STUPID BEAGLE THAT ALWAYS SAYING SOMETHING LIKE “HERE WE GO AGAIN”. Oh, OK. There is not telling what people remember and for what reason that they remember certain events even. Then there the Madella effect. For those of you who don’t know what the Madelle effect is, simple explanation is: It is a condition of false memories on a large number of people. Madelle is a south African statesman. In one Mass memory, Madelle died and in the other Mass memory, Madelle still alive. We are talking about millions of people remembering it either way, but, which way is the true way that it happen or is some one messing with the time line. Another example of the Madelle effect is the John F. Kennedy assassination. Me and most people my age or older remember Kennedy being in a three setter limousine with John Connley in the middle sit, but, another group remember Kennedy in a two setter limousine with no John Connley in the middle sit, because, there isn’t a middle sit. When ever there is a large section of population that have different memories, some people like to call it the Madella effect. In other words there two realities or perceive realities.
Sorry, some times, I read some pretty off beat stuff sometimes.
@Larry – Mandela, not Madelle. Though the X-Files parodied this at one point with a conspiracy goof who called it the Mengele Effect.
Given some of the crazy stuff I did, I’ve tried hard to forget!
@Robert:
Holly’s referring to an event that was less than four months ago. I would hope that anybody older than six years old can remember four months back.
As for personal earliest memories, the earliest of my own memories that I can recognize is my third birthday, mainly because it was when I got this one stuffed toy that was my constant companion until I started school.
