27 Aug, Hantana, on a drier east morning. First timers, no balcony budget. Desk has a number that feels like a tour. Need a local, not a brochure. If the festival continues to 28th Diya/Dahawal, do not pack us like it ends on the kerb tonight.

Sit pavement. I will not invent an official stand price. Private balconies are private deals. Arrive early, sit low, zip the water. First number is a test.

Skip is polite. On 'pay a balcony story or sit pavement like everyone else' — board, not desk.

We walked. Slow. Shoes muddy. Fine. On 'pay a balcony story or sit pavement like everyone else' — board, not desk.
