A picture to see..to be in..

A bright sunny day where wind is fresh,
Sea waves carry the breeze, so clear.
The lighthouse stands still in pride,
To look for the pirates if any near.

My window opens up to let in

The blushes of the morn knocking

The bird woke up, made up her nest

I am all ready to hear her talking.

Sand is cold with the dew and tide

My feet could walk through miles

Along the beach that makes me smile

like the serene, blue, happy shore lines.

I put up my blue balls at the azure

which seems today bit glee.

With hovering clouds like balls of wool

and as broad & blue as sea.

Leo

Well the story started six years back when a batch of 10 freshers from different engineering streams were brought together to join a fraternity (known as club then) which later on took them on a beautiful journey of their teamship and friendship. Each one of them had a different attitude, a different perspective, a different personality that shaped the skin of Leo Batch-2k5 as a bunch of young people with colourful ideas, full of zeal, motivation and an intuitive promptness of being together forever. The differences are never so big that cannot be leaped and this little thought led them stay together,connected. Today after crossing the stage of fun, laughter and group-ing ,all of them are successfully working as most promising employees in their companies carrying leoism still in their hearts that always motivates from the past to move ahead to keep on exceling and be the achievers.

These 10 faces may change their features in different batches but the spirit of 'once a leo always a leo' fosters in every group and their stories are repeated time and again.While looking at this poster I remember each one of us standing all together enchanting 'We serve together' which we used to convey in our every meeting, every program, every club-activity and every fun-filled hour. It doesnt matter how busy we are but the past that has already been created sticks to our story. Some of us are still in contact, some might be just in thoughts but I just want to put down the picture that after more than 6 years I still remember about them that might be my life long memories. Let us begin with the LEOs:

LEO Deepti Jha: A girl that already had created a history after being enrolled as a mining engineer was  the pride of of our batch which was known for not many great things. I had no interaction with her till we met in the club meeting where on the same day we got inducted and became Leos.I was more happy to be known to this girl than to be a part of Leo club.Her discipline, her clarities, her being with us added an air of confidence and hopes in every work that we turned into our accomplishments.As a vice president to the club, her 'yes' was a 'yes'and 'no' a 'no'.This firmness made us able to stand as a rock before every wrong that could have affected us.Deepti.......always smiling,happy,lively and thankful to life for whatever it gives.She had lot in it which I couldnt listen to and didnt get a chance to share but with her, every work used to get a frame to be done with perfection in stipulated time period. She was  favourite among all her teachers, her seniors, her friends and all. At present,working as a mining engineer in Hindustan Zinc Limited,Udaipur.

LEO Sumit: Another mining engineer who was quite easy going in a group of ten ready to solve problems that might appear big. It's actually quite blurry when did he became so familiar to us speaking all that was inside frankly.He used to beand is actually  among the ones to lighten the tense mood by his honest comments. Treasurer by post,he was suited for treasuring lot of gossips including all of us.During the last days in the college,among the memorable get-togethers was his treat after getting selected in Monnet Ispat.By that time we already had bored the feeling of leaving the college and sentiments were at height.Sometimes I remember he talked philosophical and words of value which kept our flying feet on ground. Sumit was among the ones whom we missed at parties and during fun filled hours.Presently he is working in Coal India Limited

LEO Tanmoy Sarkar: Well a heavy name with a quite heavier personality.First being called as Tamer and then President of our batch was suitable by all means and in all manners to represent our batch with pride.He was a multifaceted fashion freak(sorry ;))who initially seemed to be belonging to some royal background. Long bleached hair, colorful lens and a hush tone initially put us in doubt wether we will match up to his standards(sorry ;)) but we never knew that he will be among our darling friends who was and is really a keeper.A Ramkrishna Mission product with all the reasons to be popular in college when came in Leo club,we had an impression of having a kinda trend to induct famous public figures into the club. But gradually his beauty behind his beauty made all of us proud to have him in our group.His dancing and painting were one of them which came in surprise packages adding feathers to his cap.Despite his busy schedule as a president he never missed a chance to hangout and create moments of friendship.I remember when he used to hammer to conclude wednesday meetings,how hard it was for us to suppress our laughter cause all of us knew that he pretended to maintain the decorum of a president but inside he was our Tanmoy. His karizzma was a sensation in the college and I remember his courtesies to Deepti during first sponsership made us feel like beggars. It's not fair to talk about him so much when Deepti and Sumit got only few words but that is how he is,always pulling people, friends, relations,values and happiness.At present working in Nicco Corporations, Kolkata.
