First time I came across this phrase was when the movie 'Raja' was released and the songs of that movie were doing their rounds on the countdown charts.
The 'Nazarein milin dil dhadka' song in this movie was supposed to have been inspired (read lifted) from the title song of the movie 'Come September'. Wikipedia has some interesting material on Bobby Darin (including an unconfirmed entry stating that the name Darin was picked from a faulty restaurant sign reading [Man]Darin Duck) , the composer of the original as well an actor in the movie. 'Raja' was also the debut movie for Sanjay Kapoor who, thankfully, did not get to display his 'raw talent' for long.
September, of course, kicks off a whole slew of Indian festivals. Janamashtami, Ganesha, Dussehera and , arguably the biggest of them all , Deepavali. Sometimes Onam falls in September as well but because all these festivals are actually based on the lunar calendar, their exact occurence on the Gregorian calendars changes from year to year.
