I know an acquaintance who would casually go to a “paan” shop, buy “paan” and talk to the “paanwaala” in an UP Bhaiyya style. If he saw a Baraat coming up with the Baraatis dancing, he would nonchalantly join the Baraat and dance a few jigs himself.

This is a very very rare song. So rare in fact that its video, or for that matter even its audio is extremely difficult to locate. I have been looking for it for several months, and I have finally been able to locate its audio.
