KOCHI: Roslin, who used to run a tailor shop in Pathanamthitta's Ranni, is now 'facelifting' cancer patients in Kochi! Those who have missing or abnormal eyebrows and eyelashes due to disease or otherwise can get them transplanted at the shop near the said tailor shop in Panampilly Nagar. There is no pain or other difficulties involved in this procedure. There is also a plan to provide free services to cancer patients who are in financial difficulties.

A disruption in the tailoring shop's functioning led to this. The tailor shop in Ranni was destroyed in the 2018 floods. The store opened in Kochi in 2019, but it was closed down again due to Covid. When it started again, the second wave of Covid arrived and Roslin suffered debt of lakhs.

Meanwhile, the desire to start a separate venture in make-up arose in Roslin's mind. That's how she came into the field of eyebrow enhancement known as microblading. Along with this, she also went to Bengaluru to practice enhancing the beauty of eyelashes and nails. Her husband is Rajan Mathew, an expatriate. Their sons Rojin and Jojin are engineering graduates.
