But he looked highly intelligent, well educated and professional. He even had a very innocent face,'' said Rama Sedhu, 53, who was at the long-distance train terminus at CST when the terrorists began shooting on Wednesday night. Sedhu was with three other friends waiting for the Chennai Mail to take them home. On Thursday, they remained stranded at the station, their baggage lost. "I was trapped for about 15 minutes before I could flee. The terrorist looked no more than 25 years old, was around five feet in height, wore no mask and was very fair. He had shortish hair and was lean. He wore dark clothes,'' said S Nagraj. "I had to choose between my luggage or my life. We don't even have any identification on us and can't travel back.'' When the firing began, Sedhu lay on the floor to protect himself while Nagraj fled in a few minutes. "The gunman changed the magazine in his gun thrice and pumped bullets into everyone in sight. He was expressionless. There were about 60 bodies all around and I thought Sedhu had died too,'' said Nagraj. Sedhu said that as he lay watching the scene unfold, he became angry at his own helplessness. "Some of the police were targeted while the others ran away. People were frozen in fear and there was pin-drop silence all around, except for the shooting,'' he said. Re-fresh, the recently opened food court, was sprayed with at least 17 bullets, which shattered its glass walls. A bullet also hit Mukesh Agarwal, uncle of the proprietor, seriously injuring him. Riyaz Khan, the manager, looked on from the mezzanine floor. He said he didn't notice the gunmen until a hand grenade exploded. Khan said that the restaurant and parcel depot staff transported several victims to hospital. "I haven't eaten since last night and I don't have an appetite. I went home this morning and am back on duty even though my wife asked me not to go,'' said Khan on Thursday afternoon. The men said it was an experience they won't be able to get over for a very long time. Sedhu, who is a sound and recording consultant and rubs shoulders with movie directors down South, is considering making a movie.

STRENGTH OF A MAN The strength of a man isn`t seen in the width of his shoulders. It`s seen in the width of his arms that encircle and protect you. The strength of a man isn`t in the deep tone of his voice. It is in the gentle words he whispers. The strength of a man isn`t in the words he speaks. It`s in how he keeps his word. The strength of a man isn`t how many buddies he has. It`s how good a buddy he is with his or "your" children. The strength of a man isn`t in how respected he is at work. It`s in how he is respected at home. The strength of a man isn`t in how hard he hits. It`s in how tender he touches. The strength of a man isn`t in the hair on his chest. It`s in his heart....that lies within his chest. The strength of a man isn`t in how many women he`s loved. It`s in whether he can be true to the ONE woman he`s trying to love. The strength of a man isn`t in the weight he can lift. It`s in the burdens he can carry. The strength of a man isn`t in how much food he eats from your table. It`s in the effort he puts forth when you are unable. The strength of a man isn`t in how he makes love. It`s in the understanding that there is more to making love......than making love. A strong man puts God first; family second; and his work third.
Sanskrit Proverb
Look to this day, The very life of life, In its brief course lies all The realities and varities of existence, The bliss of growth, The splendor of action, The glory of power. For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived, Makes every yesterday A dream of happiness And every tomorrow A vision of hope. Look well, therefore, To this day.
