Hitesh Karki

I dreamed a dream that tickled pink, Exactly in the manner how you think. Where we longed for nothing and were satisfied, Without caring what world thinks outside. Many a year has passed and gone, You know and I know nothings’ been lost and everythings’ won. Traversed many paths my friend, soon – very soon […]
