Vandana Menon - Award Winning Journalist

Achyuth Menon and I have been friends for a long, long time now. He has always taken a lot of interest in the stuff I do be it writing, cricket, my workshops or whatever and we catch up every once in a while on a call or for breakfast at Minerva Coffee House. He is a passionate and well-known recruiter and his firm 'Options' is a known brand.

The other day he messaged me that his daughter Vandana Menon, a young, passionate journalist with The Print had won an award for feature writing. That she won it along with a known name like Raj Chengappa shows the stuff she is made of.

Her article was about how an SMDC Engineer placed Dara Shikoh's tomb within the Humayun's tomb area. And then there are so many more fine pieces she has written. Read them.

But more importantly, congratulations Vandana and her proud parents Achyuth ad Sangeetha.
