PREFACE...

As the new calendar year unfolds; refreshed goals, reinvigorated challenges and infused
efficacy entice the indomitable spirit of the Lotus family. Every laurel won, every award
clinched has only advanced the enthusiasm and dauntlessness of our blossoming learners.
Young Lotusians have engraved their achievements and raised the bar with each mantle
archived; be at sports, academics, social causes and various other competitions.

Electrifying debates, street plays to sensitize on social concerns, taking up the arduous task
of cleaning up of streets by themselves, empowering the underprivileged children in
neighbourhood, cognizance towards environment are just the tip of the iceberg to enumerate
how our young torchbearers are progressing towards building a better society and a better
nation.

Our most cherished Principal Mrs. Anita Malhotra, has always enthused learners towards
positive goal achievements and focused investment in results. It is her powerful actionable
tips, strategies and motivation that help learners to get unparalleled insight into the essence
of ‘who they are’ and most importantly they discover the massive potential they possess to
become a stronger leader who brings greater value.

Together as we move towards designing an even better future with infused actions, we look
forward to your suggestions and feedback on this issue of ‘Different Strokes’.
