Ajeeb dastaan hai yeh ...

This song will always remind me of ...

the aroma of camphor and agarbatti from the Pooja room, Amma leisurely reading the newspaper and her stack of Tamizh magazines, with her collection of purane hindi film geet playing, humming along with this magical melody ...

and we would always at some point, end up bursting into helpless laughter, when we remembered a dialogue from the film.

Only Tamizh speaking folk will understand the humor of this ...

The hero, Rajkumar, of 'Jaani' fame, is a doctor in the film. He sternly tells his wife, who refuses to open the door for someone, asking for the doctor, in the middle of the night,

"Raat ke baarah baje bhi, koi hamari kundi khat-khataye,
toh hamey jaana hi padega! !!"
