Ah, you've put your finger right on it—that petrichor smell hits different when you're balancing accounts under a flickering tube light, wondering if the wholesaler will hike prices again this week.

But this new lad, yenu guru, he’s got some fire in the middle order ah? Let’s see if he can last longer than a monsoon power cut.
