KRANTODORSHI

Basabdatta, a young aspiring poet comes to Krantodorshi publishing house to publish her first book of poems. However, she is disheartened when the publisher, Paran Pakrashi, quotes a huge amount of money to publish her book. Paran suggests he can arrange for a sponsor if she is willing to do some product placement in her poems by altering them a little. Although reluctant in the beginning, Basabdatta warms up to the idea when Paran gives her few encouraging tips. Just when Paran is about to seal the deal, Kamalesh, an established and popular poet, arrives in his office with complaints about misprints in his upcoming book. Kamalesh advises Basabdatta never to pay the publishers to print her books and let them exploit her talent. She should keep on writing more, publish more in magazines, win few awards and establish herself as a renowned poet. Publishers would then run after her to publish her books. Inspired by Kamalesh's preaching, Basabdatta is about to walk out of the deal. Paran then shows her a small piece of paper. Basabdatta’s ego, that was pumped up by Kamalesh's fiery speech, bursts like a balloon when pricked by a tiny little pin.
