Arre bhai, main bhi sochta hoon—speed wale bus to chale jayenge, par us imarti ke thele wala, jab purane imarti lekar aata hai, toh wohi shade ke neeche baith ke khaane ka mazaa hai. Traffic ka data dekha hai kabhi? Gaadiya zyada, par time toh waise hi lagta hai. Vulnerable hamesha wohi hote hain jo chai aur aam ke ped ke saath bade hue.
Speed is bhalo for business, baba—tourist buses bring hungry people, and that chai shop can get a new tree or a tin shade. But I understand the pain; my own stall lost a big banyan last year, and now the afternoon sun is a killer. Still, if the road is narrow, the buses will go elsewhere, and that is worse than losing one tree.
