Desi In Toronto

Just finished watching Metal : A Headbanger’s Journey.

The documentary ended up confusing me to bits. The confusion is what kind of music do I like? I mean I am likely to nod my head listening through my headphones to the song Raining Blood from Slayer and to the song Sound Of Silence from Simon and Garfunkel.

I hum to the music of Kishor Kumar and to the music of My Bloody Valentine.

I tap my foot to the music of Mohammad Rafi & Lata Mangeshkar and to the music Sonic Youth.

So having watched the documentary on Metal and how there are people out there who are totally hooked on to one genre of music and how they are totally able to immerse themselves completely in that genre while ignoring the rest of the music styles, is a complete mystery to me. I am sure there are millions like me out there……just not here in Mississauga, Ontario.

Now, this is a social experiment!!

Dear Prime Minister:

We, the undersigned, urge the parliament of Canada to take immediate action to ban handguns in Canada.

Handguns are intended for one purpose and that is to kill people. Their presence in Canada has resulted in the deaths of far too many people and have no place in our country.

It is time to ban the private ownership of handguns.

This is being pushed quite hard here. Have you seen the youtube clip?

I have no clue how this is going to help? All I know is that owning a handgun in a city is stupid, stupid, stupid.

And please don’t give me any statistics on murders against gun ownership. If you do, then I think I will look into ownership of keeping a 30 foot anaconda in my house. I mean, how many people in Toronto have actual died from an anaconda attack, right?

So, sign away people!!
