Twenty-five year-old engineering graduate Mehak Pervaz of Central Kashmir has started her own business venture - making, designing and customising candles.
Mehak, a resident of Elahi Bagh area of Srinagar city, says candles have fascinated her from childhood.
“I have realised time and again that lighting a candle does wonders to lift one’s mood. Unfortunately, in a place like Kashmir, we do not use decorative candles for functions and celebratory occasions,” says Mehak, who has named her business ‘Shamaaque by Mehak’.
