Arre yaar, this beer news — I remember when my neighbour in Shimla used to make a small batch of *sattu* drink for the summer, just enough for the lane. Now they want to sell it in bright bottles from some big factory. Achha, I am not against a little enjoyment, but I have seen how the old ways — a quiet glass of *chaang* from the local village — never made anyone restless. Why rush to trust a company's promise when the mountains have taught us patience?

Ayya, I get your point about the old ways, but this sattu drink in a bottle is just another rich fellow packaging our grandmother's recipe back to us at double the price, paavam. That neighbour in Shimla probably never had to get a loan to buy a machine, yaara—the real sin is not the factory, it's who owns it and who gets left behind.

Haan bhai, you are speaking my mind. Here in our village, the *kallu* from the toddy tapper—that is a honest drink, no chemicals, no one getting rich overnight. Now they will put it in a shiny bottle, add some sugar, and call it "craft." The poor farmer who used to buy a glass after work? He will be priced out, and his children will drink something worse.
