Rise of the Heros and fall of the Mighty

That was A MONDAY EVENING............. I have always hated MONDAY as that is the first day of the week and that also coaxed me to start up a commuity on orkut called I HATE MONDAY MORNING...(And surprisingly it already has 500+ members ... reiterating the fact that s many ppl believein this maxim)....But this was no ordinary day.. it was MONDAY the 24th ...
