I enjoyed the below thread so much, that I felt I had to contribute to it. Thanks to Kiddo for starting the original thread. I hope you don't mind me "adding on" to your comedy. (I hope I haven't killed the comedy by my commentary, you did a great job.)

Internal voice: Just made my sajha account. Need to get a phone card. Ok this should attract attention.
Title Subject: Very Important
With a genuine feeling of hope that some Phone card expert can help me I type the words:
Title Thread: Can somebody tell me which calling card is best for Nepal
Post 1: Why do you need to call Nepal? If you miss it so dearly why don’t u go back?
Internal voice: Huh? I am disappointed with the response. Shattered really. How rude. Today is Tihar and all I wanted to do was talk to my relatives. Is that wrong? Go to Nepal he says. Is he going to buy my ticket for the weekend?
Post 2: Oye Muncha, ja gaye pani tang adaune. Let the guy worry about his business and u worry about yours.
Internal voice: Thank goodness there are some sane people here. Feel a little relief.
(mind wandering) Wow, I wonder if my aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews will be there when I call. (fiddling with my cell phone).
Post 3: I haven’t called Nepal for last 3 years, there is no point. Same news, Maobadi killing people, Government doing nothing.
Internal Voice: Oh boy. Feeling angst. Feel alarmed that coming to sajha.com was not a good idea. Maybe I should have gone down my phone list.
(mind wanders) Another Tihar and I won’t be in Nepal, but hey, at least being able to hear their voice would be great.
Post 4: Why do you only blame Maobadis for the killing? Were everybody else holier-than-thou? And before you blame government try running it. Yaha basera bhanna sajilo chha.
Internal voice: Here we go again. I feel perplexed. Do we Nepalis have to fight about everything, bhaneko?
(mind wanders) Gosh I miss the kowra games on the living room floor on bhai tika.
Post 5: Ayo arko Mao supporter. I bet you are going to justify the killing of 10s of thousand as needed huh? Look where Nepal is now after all that sacrifice.
Feeling worn out. I can see it already, Tihar is going to be long over before I make this call.
Feeling desperate. C’mon guys, phone card, remember? Phone card. I know you know what that is.
Post 6: Guys I just need help on my calling card. Any good one that you have tried lately?
Post 6: Sajha quality is going down for last 4 years. Look what the subject thread is and where it is going to.
You’re telling me. Ya’ll are pissing me off. I mean I know we can all write and read English, why do we pretend that we don’t understand the words: Phone Card?
Post 7: Ta chai ko ni? Yaha ko hawaldaar ho?
Are you kidding me? That is your response to someone asking for a phone card?
(mind wanders) In my mouth I can taste the alu-ko acchar that I would be having if I was in Nepal. And instead, now we’re talking of Hawaldaars? What do Hawaldaars have to do with phone cards? They don’t even rhyme. (Softly hammering my head with the side of my cell phone)
Post 8: What’s wrong with Hawaldaars dude? They are hard worker.
OK, I feel numb. Breathe, just breathe. (drumming the tips of my fingers on my mouse).
Post 9: LMAO. Nepal Police and working hard…dream on.
Yeah, but maybe if I had called them to ask for a phone card instead of asking you, at least I would have gotten some type of response on…..PHONE CARDS!?
15 minutes later Post 10: Why are you saying that, do you have any proof?
You know what? This is why Nepal is a third world country. I mean how can we have development with people like this running the nation. They can’t get it together to answer a question for a phone card request.
Ok, I’m exhausted. I need to go to work soon. Last, try, if I don’t get a positive response, I had enough of the bullshit with sajha.com. I mean what good are you people if you can’t answer a damned question about “good phone cards.”
Post 11: Ok guys, I used XYZ plan and I had hard time connecting, anybody has a good recommendation again?
Post 12: Why do you need proof? Go back to Nepal and look around.
Ok, thank you for this, now it’s official. I’m getting out of this &$#* site. [Disallowed String for - use not allowed] haru…
And the communication goes on. The original poster vows to never return but then changes his name and comes back.
