The Mumbai Rains

Its deja-Vu of 26/7/2005 in Mumbai. The rivers are clogged and so are the drainages. Though the goverment is a little organised and prepared this time around, still the fear rests. Holidays are also raining as people are adviced to stay in doors.Though the banks are open and so are the ATM's (phew!). They are claiming to have about 85 water pumps as opposed to 25 last year. Seriously in these day's I think I am fortunate enough to live where the life rarely gets "interesting".
Today, or rather early tomorrow IST. France takes on Portugal head-on for the place in the semi-finals of the world-cup. The Italy-Germany match was awesome. Though I watched it till half-time only, heard the Del-Piero's goal in the last 1 minute of the match. Just thinking on the same lines what goes in to make a hero?
Heros are not momentary. They have the ability to push even when they hate what they are doing. I contend with the conventional line " Do what your heart says." We should listen to our hearts. But more often than not, heart is what is correct but not necessarily right. Its the brain that tells us to move on and do something when we dont want to. Remeber the times when you didnt want to study. Your heart says "sing with the rains." but your brain says "study, because thats what will help you to climb up the chains."
