Srinagar, 09 June (KB): Maria Lateef D/O Muhammad lateef wani hailing from Zukura Srinagar.
She has done 3 years diploma in programming in Business management and Computer Application from Govt. Recognised College. She has also done short term courses from KGP Srinagar and ITI in Tally and and Data entry operations and I have recently completed my BBA.
Maria while talking to Kashmir Bulletin –(KB), said that Durning Lockdown I started baking. Iam truly self taught. have not done any certified course in baking, but I learnt everything which i am doing right now, like making cakes, doing frosting, making different things regarding this field.
I totally learn this art from YouTube. I still remember on my best friends Birthday, I gave him a cake baked by me, he liked it and he pushed me and told me to explore it. Don’t waste your talente, it this is literally going to be best.
One of my school friend Safiyah literally helped me in this thing as she knows baking from the very start.
I can say Safiyah and one of my bestest friend is my inspiration. Now my work is getting one year old, and I am still learning new skills in baking, Alhamdulillah.
My Message to youth is “please talk about everything you are going through. Do not deicide to give up. Giving up is not an option. Talking about things. Working on it, and get good results literally help you to get out from this trauma or anything u are going through. Think about you. You have many good skills and talent inside you, which you are not aware about. Explore things in you, and expand the talent. Allah has bestowed everyone with good skills and talent. Keep working on that. Suicide is never an option, she said”. (Kashmir Bulletin)
