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.
