1 Introduction 

1.1 Background 

After passing from University long time ago in Covid19 period again we all classmates meet in Virtual world .Everyone wanted to know about each other where about. Its almost seven months of lockdown everyone also remembering there old days of college. 

1.2 Problem As whole Batch which is of sixty person out of which fourth are in group. All of them wanted to know whereabout of everyone else. Which generated lot of Data. Also anyone new will again start asking same question . So I decided to create a Visual Graph from which in few second whole story can be communicated. 

1.3 Interest Obviously, It will interest my classmate and college mates staying worldwide. It will also help any person going to new city he can get old friend very easily. 2 Data acquisition and cleaning 2.1 Data sources I used data which I received from my classmates. I asked them to send longitude and latitude of there city or just message me their location . 

Name latitude longitude for example my location is 23.667 86.933 

2.2 Data cleaning As the data number of very less and manually entered by me I corrected some entries manually .Some some friends I searched Data from their social media profile and their old mails to me . 

2.3 Feature selection After data cleaning, there were 38 samples and 3 features in the data. 

Longitude is defined as the “geographical angular distance east or west on the earth’s surface” or, for the directionally-challenged, left to right. To clarify: the lines of longitude run from pole to pole but measure left to right. 

Latitude is defined as the exact opposite: “the angular distance north or south from the equator of a point on the earth’s surface.” Lines of latitude run horizontally to measure north to south. 

3 Exploratory Data Analysis Result using Folium Library 

 4 Conclusions In this study, I analyzed the most of my classmates stay in National Capital Region(NCR) in India. After Covid lockdown My classmates near NCR region can call for a get-together. At same time only one stay in Middle east Asia can visit India and join the get-together. Total ten people stay in USA . But none of them stay near to anyone . So for them a get-together even after Covid lockdown is possible. 

5 Future directions I did this project just for my classmates. There is lot of scope in this. In my College there are more then 5000 ex-student. If I will make same type of project. In any city worldwide my college mate will get someone from our college.
