Trader doesn't survive blast, but saves friend

MUMBAI: Sachin Shah knows little about Tushar Shah. For, every evening their conversations meandered around the diamond trade, taste of tea and the new mava flavours that had hit the market. There were always four of them--men in their early 30s who had a predictable routine. However, their evening haunts near Opera House will never be the same again. Wednesday's blast claimed Tushar, who collapsed on Sachin, 34. "There was not a scratch on me because Tusharbhai came in the way of death and me," a traumatized Sachin said. Although the diamond trader spokelittle, his T-shirt said it all: "Let us live so that when we die even the evilwill be sorry."
