Who needs a heart of gold?

While listening to popular artiste Madan Krishna Shrestha practising for his solo concert in Paleti, my attention was drawn by a particular song,He Bhagwan Mero Khalti Ko Ghaau.......It is not that I have heard this song, composed and performed in a light comical mood for the first time.

Intentionally or un intentionally, if you fail, the relationhips...
