A reader's blasting comment, which changed a prolific writer’s entire life. Shankar lamichhane, regarded as Nepal’s foremost prose writer of all times, wrote much acclaimed "Abstract chintan:Pyaaz" among others. Lamichhane was accused of plagiarism by an anonymous female reader known only as "kumudinee". He latter confessed the act and not only praised kumudinee but stopped writing once and for all. After two and half decades, now it's all revealed who was kumudinee, and what was the reason behind lamichhane's act.
