Vandana Lohia
As a student of literature, Vandana has always been passionate about drama (in literature books and in real life) - who can resist Shakespeare's classics, after all? — and writing. Getting the opportunity to write about the plays and musicals she studied during her college days has been somewhat of a dream come true.
