is the Founder-Director of Fables n Tales. She believes that stories can entertain and
educate. As part of the Government of Tamil

Libraries across Chennai. She is also
a member of the Government of Tamil Nadu's "Story Corner" project. Banu has told stories and conducted
workshops in Storytelling Festivals and schools across Tamil Nadu. She has performed for Regional and
International Radio Channels, for DD National Television, and with
International Storytelling Guilds. When Banu tells stories, she uses her
theatrical expertise to transport listeners to different worlds. Listeners make the story their own by
relating themselves to the characters. Banu believes that by telling and/or
listening to a hero’s / heroine's story journey, and by deciphering the
metaphors of a story, one can enhance one's problem-solving skills, further
develop moral values and creative imagination, improve vocabulary, and even
experience healing. --- Storytelling-related
