Dolphin,

Do not underestimate Indians in thier english. The 200 years of slavery to Britishers have really given them higer edge in English than us Nepalese. I know Indians have funny accent but they do speak proper english. That is why at work the Indian with crazy accent does not get as much "come again" by the white american while a nepali with MBA and 8 years in US gets way more "come again"

I would not care about her accent or her poor english. What really needs to be made fun of here is the Gorkhey Mentality of feeling higer by being able to speak English. The feeling is about 200 years old. If a bahun speaks a fluent Newari he will be made fun of but if a Bahun speaks broken english he is and educated person.
