As a tribute to the genius of Shankar Lamichhane and to all those who have read or plan to read his work, here are words  stolen from Shankar Lamichhane that I have dared to put into  Evanescence's mouth: 

" It is because I am not a woman of the present. I am a woman who is yet to be born, a thousand years from today. And in that distant future, these limitations of looks, height, weight, knowledge, ignorance, moods, happiness, sorrow, inequality, wealth, poverty, arrogance will no longer exist"

(Based on "It is because, Vyatith ji, I am not a man of the present. I am a man who is yet to be born, a thousand years from today. And in that distant future, these limitations of nationality, religion, faith and politics will no longer exist" - Shankar Laimchhane in "Abstract Chintan: Pyaaz")
