From happy blooms and vibrant mandalas to scenic paintings and Star Wars-themed boxes, whatever is on your mind, Mahim resident Kerushna Bharucha can paint it on a wooden box. You can use that to store jewellery and watches or precious teas and travel mementos, or simply make it a part of your home or office decor.

What started as a hobby is now a steady business for siblings Kerushna and Nishaad, with a few interesting demands thrown in as well. "Once a client asked for a box that depicts a true foodie, mainly focusing on raw meat. That was a bit tricky," says Kerushna. A business analyst at an MNC, 27-year-old Kerushna has been painting since childhood. A few months ago, while casually merging art with utility, she started painting on wooden boxes. "When family and friends appreciated the work, it got Nishaad and me thinking into starting a home venture. We then called it Bksa."
