A Dream became reality for the Frederictonians


Fredericton has its own ‘cultural’ building, housing all the ethnic groups under one roof. This was the vision of a few people in my community including myself, so when it finally became a reality (yesterday), I was very emotional. I couldn’t help it!

Who am I: Sunita's story


I met an old household helper today. She told me that I was the best boss she ever had and that she misses me very much.
This was not the first time I had heard such compliment from my former helpers. But this time I felt different.

I treat my helpers as human being, not as an object to fulfill my cleaning needs. Unlike some people I know, my eyes fills with tears when I see or hear others suffering. I can be happy when others success and sad when they fail miserably. I've been this way all my life. I've inherited these treats from my mother.

After hearing time and again, “You’re so negative, nobody wants to be around you” and “ You've lost so many opportunities because of your loudmouth”, I really needed to hear some constructive quality of mine. I needed to be appreciated and be assured that my sense of righteousness has a place in this 'me, me' world. I knew I was doing something right, among a lot of wrong, but I needed confirmation.


Hi, Sunita is my disguised name. I'm hiding my real name for my privacy shake. I've lost a lot of money-making opportunities because I can't focus on my own welfare. Nor I'm able to go along with those who think about themselves all the time.

No matter how hard I try, I can't lose my conscience and I’m too damn sensitive to my own detriment. That’s who I am!
