Finally, I have got a chance to write again. This is due to the fact that my friend has left me his laptop so I can do some work:) and I am doing work!
...
Being here in Canada and eastern part of it after 2.5 years made me couple of interesting observations.
First of all the number of Iranians who live in Toronto are very quickly multiplied. And perhaps 75% of these fellows are in real estate! There are tons of men and women pictures all around Iranian ad-based news papers smiling and encouraging you to buy a apartment or house.
...
1. Students life has had sharp turn here in Toronto, Canada. Now many students are rich, becasue I heard that out of every 10 students in Ryerson or University of Toronto 8 have cars.
At my time they were trowing parties and gathering in downtown, so everyone could participate. but now they throw parties which belog to university in up-up town where if you have no car, can't go! I heard, becasue I did not go, that 1500 persons were for Iranian New year party of universities across Ontario! and there where perhaps 1000 people behind the door and the tickets were sold out!!!
In my time, if we could get 300 people into the party we were doing something amazing! how things changes.
Iranians have moved to North and even much Northern part of Toronto area! So, I think this comes from the mentality of the Iranians who think North is classy place to live!
2. I think we as a person should make any changes. We should not wait to changes to take place for us. :-)
3. joni Michell is a great singer and song writer of Canadian national. She has apparently released more than 30 albums and one of my favorite work od hers is this following song:
Both sides of story
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
from up and down, and still somehow
it's cloud illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
When every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go
and if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
from give and take, and still somehow
it's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say I love you right out loud,
dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I've changed.
But Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
from win and lose, and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
from up and down, and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.
