About Renuka Tandon
Renuka has always been a storyteller, and as a kid she used to regale her siblings with stories made up on the spur of the moment. She especially enjoyed spooking them out with 'cooked up' horror stories in the middle of the night - earning her the sobriquet of "The Story Chef".
An avid reader with a preference for fiction, she revels in the immersive experience of a good book. She also enjoys writing and travelling to mysterious places (the more mysterious, the better!).
In her idyllic moments, she loves gazing up at the clouds and letting their shapes conjure up stories in her mind! Or doodling and drawing zentangles.
Apart from her fun-loving side, she is passionate about human rights and environmental issues.
Renuka lives in Bangalore with her family. Her own experience with her autistic daughter has led her on a life-altering journey into the world of the persons with disabilities. She wants to make a difference in their lives through various leisure and lifestyle events and vocation building initiatives.
