A shady story

It was a sudden storm during the peak Delhi summer. A hail storm along with a very welcome rain. As one would expect, I was happy.  Surprisingly I found Sanjeev seating beside the uprooted neem tree with a sad face. As if, he was about to burst in tears.
It was quite strange. A street vendor so much passionate about greenery! But Sanjeev is a smart boy anyway. Though he has very little education, he often talks on topics like internet, income tax or insurance. May be, he started thinking about global warming too!

Then he opened his mouth. “Sir, in this heat, where do I seat from tomorrow? The only shade in the vicinity is gone!”
