"The artist sees what others only catch a glimpse of."

-Leonardo da Vinci.

As fellow mortals on earth, us human beings, in our attempt to escape or reminisce emotions of joy, agony, grief and solitude have created art. We all have at some stage in life, poured our souls on paper through colors, words, couplets and quatrains, captured moments in our lenses and created masterpieces which are to remain forever.

So, in an endeavor to bring forth all those hidden artists, photographers, poets and story-tellers within us, we molded a blank canvas and adorned it with your imagination and creativity, thus creating- Espoir. What started as a fragment of imagination, a wishful thinking to begin something new, has now traversed a long way in becoming a chef-d'œuvre! A place where the students divulge their creativity and works of art.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Vandana Sonwaney (Director, SIOM) and Dr. Aasha Sharma (Faculty Mentor CommPR, SIOM) for their constant support to this initiative. Espoir would not have been possible without them.

Although a mere magazine, I believe this edition of Espoir is really a cacophony of all those feelings, breathtaking experiences and fading memories, which lay dumped, relinquished in a long-forgotten corner of our heart, waiting to find a release.

It was a joy perceiving all of your works. And as you open each page filled with beauty, Team CommPR hopes that you experience the same extravaganza of emotions flowing, creativity unfolding and magic unleashing. Happy Reading!
