From the school Director
To move from print to online seems such an obvious move that it hardly needs explanation. But coming up with a simple idea is often the hallmark of real creativity – as Jeff Bezos and Travis Kalanick know! Our editors may not have (yet) come up with an equivalent of an online shopping or taxi app but I am proud of our inhouse entrepreneurial thinkers for showing the communication possibilities which this open up. From videos to articles to artwork, this site reflects beautifully the richness of talent of Pathways students.
Moving away from paper makes it possible to give readers choice – which is the way everyone likes. To move easily from an article to a movie enhances the reading experience and I am sure that will be popular.
Moreover, an online version opens up lots of communication possibilities – worldwide. There is much of interest here, to a student sitting in Azerbaijan or Amsterdam and I hope making available the activities and opinions of a group of interesting young people in Noida will reach out to them.

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” –Maya Angelou
It is incredible how Pathwaysians challenge their own creative standards and come up with something so astounding that one cannot help but marvel at this unleashed energy and excellence. Monochrome, our monthly newsletter for secondary school has so far been a platform for our senior school students to share their views and opinions on issues that are close to their heart or issues that matter to them. It has also been a space for them to unleash their creativity and to capture their days at school.
The team of Isal Shukla and Neha Gupta, editors for Monochrome have given an absolutely new face to this newsletter by converting this space into a digital platform, one which is much more interactive and dynamic both in looks and character. The newsletter is now far more wide-reaching and thus is a testament to the quote by Maya Angelou that the more we use creativity, the more creative we can be.
The readers of this newsletter will find the voice of the Pathways student community in the form of not only articles but also interviews and camera opinions, which will engage the readers and also allow students to share perspectives. Congratulations to Isal and Neha for changing the face of Monochrome and presenting it to us in a whole new Avatar.
