Talking about the Bhojpuri Rap ‘Bambai Main Ka Ba’:

Rohit: Abhinandan, I’m not being a linguist because Bhojpuri is not my first language but it’s not Bambai Main Kaaba, it is Bambai Main Ka Ba.

Abhinandan: Oh, I thought Kaaba.

Rajyasree: Kaaba, as in the Islamic structure?

Abhinandan: As Jagjit Singh said, “Kaabe se parda mat uthao varna wa bhi vahi...”

Rohit: No, no, no! “Khuda ke waaste parda na kaabe se uthaa zaalim.”

Rajyasree: Even that’s incorrect! Very good! 

Rohit: Oh, my God! Brilliant! So, we are on top of the things already.

Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.

This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri, Rajyasree Sen and Newslaundry subscriber Rohit Mehrotra discuss the series Criminal UK, PariWar, and Tehran; Manoj Bajpayee's Bhojpuri rap Bambai Main Ka Ba; Dua Lipa’s New Rules for Covid Dating; Ali Sethi’s Pehla Qadam; and Mariah Carey’s memoir.
