Re: Desifest Toronto

Looks more like a Indian Festival than South Asian Festival. Pretty much all events are dominated by Indians.

Is it like jazz fest in New Orleans, only without any jazz?

Re: Desifest Toronto

It can’t be a true desi-fest.. there are too many health restrictions in Canada .

Re: Desifest Toronto

the problem with these gatherings is that indians dominate all the proceedings

instead of calling it desi-fest, we should call it indian-fest

Re: Desifest Toronto

^^ the notion that all indians dominate these gatherings keeps pakis away, and for that very reason these gatherings REMAIN indian gatherings; it's time we bring about a change!

Re: Desifest Toronto

Precisely this attitude is what prevents change.
Get out and make it a true "desi-fest".

Re: Desifest Toronto

scratching armpits yar gerrard does a lot of stuff.. its kinda all tacky and hard to track ..

i mean, walking down, crossing the road, if u happen to do a lil thumka, u’re guarenteed to attract like 200 peeps, shut down gerrard completely, and make headlines next day of “concert rocked downtown toronto”

[added] sure i’ve been in a few of those.. let past remain past:D
