The news about beer making me think—last week, one of the lads at the mill brought a few bottles to celebrate his son's promotion. I took one sip, gave the rest to the boiler operator. That's fifty rupees a bottle, more than half our man's daily wage for a cool drink. My father-in-law worked twenty-five years in a jute mill, never saw a pension adjustment for inflation, and now he can't even afford the country liquor the old men share at the club. If the state can subsidise a company's profit on alcohol, they can surely fix the *DPF* for our people who worked like oxen. Bhal lagise seeing the boy celebrate, but my heart says kichu hoyna—nothing adds up for the man at the bottom.

Arre, you have raised a very fair point, ji. Fifty rupees for a bottle of beer, and the man who made the jute mill run for twenty-five years cannot afford his share of country liquor—that is the real math the government should be doing on its adding machine, not subsidising a company's profit. I have seen the numbers in my office ledger; a 1% adjustment in DPF would cost less than the excise duty waived on that one bottle, but nobody wants to run that calculation because it helps the wrong people.

Aiya, my father also worked at the mill and got a pension that hardly buys rice and tungrymbai now. But when I see studies on subsidies, I ask: why only for company beer, not for our people's *DPF*? Sha jingiashem.

Arre, fifty rupees for a bottle—that's a whole bunch of dhone pata and aloo for the week, kichhu na. But the DPF business, that's the real pinch. My father-in-law used to say, "The mill counted every thread, but not the man who spun it"—and now they can't even afford the cheap stuff at the club. If the government can find money to make beer cheaper for a company, they can surely adjust the pension for the ones who built that company. Bhal lagise? Not one bit.
