Mrs Ghosh is
a qualified creator in the truest sense of the term and she is the impetus
behind various publications of international stature 4
Mrs Ghosh migrated to Canada in 2012 ,
and her multidimensional thoughts made
her start a business, of importing various
Asian clothes, Jewellries , wedding collections and famous Bollywood fashion
dresses and so forth and sell them at marginal profit or no profit
with a view to help the different communities get their choicest items at fair
price , but as big minds never stick to one thing , she while interacting with
the cross section of the people across Canada , felt the need for
uplifting the Multicultural ethos of different communities the requirement for
building bridges to promote intercultural understanding; promoting equal
opportunity for individuals of all origins; and promoting civic engagement and
a healthy democracy.5

for the now famous World Multicultural Festival 6 ,
