I don't know my fellows,this phone card problem should have not be an issue, but it is telling us we (nepali & nepal)are way back in the technical areas. May be we are not putting efforts to be more creative and innovative globally. Because of our lower profile business world doesn't care much. Do we accept this fact? our people are dying back home, our own people are killing them. we are becoming victims our own doings. Simlultaneously, Indians are doing far better in every field we can think of. Our people want to leave country just to feed their family, a decent food. Students want to stay abroad regardless of their status. Indians,now they want to go back, and are going back because of their best economic growth ever. People like BILL GATES wants especially Indians,& Chinese our neighbours at his country and makes a big issue with its own government for not allowing them to come in the U.S. Why, those people are creative and innovative. Look at those phone cards for indians, cheapest, good rates all time, even free call for weeks once or twice a yr. What an Irony, we are here in Sajha blaming our own people for cheating ourselves. Do we have those optins as Indains do? It is the time to think what we are lacking. Why we are not getting cheap phone cards? Do we have any nepali owned phone service providers? Are there any technically sound people in Higher official level in this global economy as Indians do? Have we ever thought for our social status rather than Individual one? If we have answers, "yes", then we will get cheap phone cards. If answer is "no", and we don't resolve our problems, we will be cutting throat of our own people which the nature of this thread is the begining. Let's Bring the Luck we lack by being creative and innovative. -BD
