Bambai nagariya One of the first songs to start playing on the radio after a news update on the bomb blasts on Tuesday was Bambai Nagariya from Taxi No 9211, evoking tired laughter from a motley group travelling by car. The irony behind Vishal Dadlani's lyrics (below) for the John Abraham-Nana Patekar film was evident: Living in the city, drive me crazy Living in the city, never easy Living in the city, take me up and bring me down and down and down Laakh laakh roz aake bas jaate hain Is shaher se dil lagake phas jaate hain Living in the city, drive me crazy Living in the city, hey hey Laakh laakh roz aake bas jaate hain Is shaher se dil lagake phas jaate hain Nana: Saala idhar toh footpath bhi houseful hai John: Yeh Bombay hai, yahaan time ka matlab hai paisa samjhe. Mujhe tees minute ki journey teen minute mein puri karni hai Nana: Saala khud marna hai toh mar na doosre ki kayko vaat lagata hai...
