The girls of Ghalegaon come to Bhujung's barn to eat kheer. Kamal has made a song about the girl's necktie given to her by Mayaprem when she came to the same barn. Chino is called sega in Gurung language. After giving and receiving sega, if you like each other, you will be in love. "After love comes marriage and marriage," says Kamal, "For us, this is a very attractive culture." In the music video, the son, who has returned from Lahore, says to leave the old galbandi and wear a new galbandi. Kamal does not agree. He returns to the past. Zamanama tells the story of the collar given to him by his girlfriend when he comes to eat kheer at the barn. This song is now played in every dance program of Gurung.
