It brings about a contrast between his heart and the nature. The poet is trying to convince the person to express his thoughts as it is one o f the prime solution to the dilemma. The lamp is on but the tenor is off. The volcano is ready, perhaps why you so steady. Wandering steps, I could hear, My mind my love turning me to a spear. Tightness, tautness, tenseness the Ts’ we bear, Irreversible built up you configure, for all you kno w why you are here. Let the volcano erupt, for you cant we more disrupt. Willing to hear are many, extract that little empathetic penny, for those, not ridiculing you. Just a phase we bear, Expressing is the way to clear. By Himanshu bansal (MBA 2024 - 26) CURSOR 5.0 VOLUME VI ISSUE II 9 Beyond The Horiz on Sidney Skyler, the sky in his name, heart on his sleeve, A mind that drew places hard to believe. Homesick for a place he's been seeking, A skyline full of colors he was too shy of revealing. Sidney Skyler, talking to himself in his sleep, Somethings left unsaid, it seems. Poppies and promises, from a lucid dream, Watching the curtains dance in the breeze. Sidney Skyler, days he'd wake up singing, Knowing summer wa sn't a season, but a feeling. Hanging from his rooftop upside down, To see the sunrays flood the town. Sidney Skyler, he stutters when he speaks, A smile he hides, biting the inside of his cheeks. He closes his eyes and ruffles his hair, Every time he's th e subject of someone's stare. Sidney Skyler, watching shadows kill the moon, How people call it "phases", saying it passes soon. But he thinks the moon ebbs away, CURSOR 5.0 VOLUME VI ISSUE II 10 Each time it falls harder, for the sun's rays. Sidney Skyler, gravity couldn't ground him, From a mind, that takes him places he's never been. And though he may seem different, in so many ways, We breathe the same air and gaze into the same space. Sidney S kyler, never thought autism was a disorder, Rather the place they named where his mind wandered.

By Sidhved Vinod Pillai (MBA DT) CURSOR 5.0 VOLUME VI ISSUE II 15 Gend er Equality : Being Women Every dawn, I yearn to be a man, To stride alone, with a confident plan, To speak my mind, without fear's cruel hand, To wield strength, against life's shifting sand. But why do they pay him more than me? Why does he hold all the cards, you see? Why is his voice heard, while mine's ignored? Why do his rules bind, leaving me floored? Yet he dreams of being in my shoes, Where favour flows, and courage ensues, Where my voice echoes, loud and clear, Where my presence commands, without a sneer. Why do they overlook his worth? Why must he stifle emotions from birth? Why burden him with all life's strains? Why deem his existence lesser, in chains? In this endless debate, we lose sight, Of the woman nurturing with all her might, Of the man shielding, in silent grace, Of the world they build, in love's embrace. When will this strife find its end? Where do we, as one, transcend? Where does he lend her his strength? Where does she lead, to a world immense? CURSOR 5.0 VOLUME VI ISSUE II 16 Let's join hands, in this sacred quest, For gender equality, at its best, Together we'll rise, breaking through, United in beauty, me and you.

Dhruv Agawral, BBA(IT) - PRN: 23030125029 CURSOR 5.0 VOLUME VI ISSUE II 19 Crowdsourcing for Cultural Heritage: The Public Participation in Digital Preservation In the era of great technological advances, it has become challenging and changing to protect cultural heritage. Numerous digital technologies have opened new possibilities for preserving cultural heritage. A good example is crowdsourcing which can change how we relate with the public while safeguarding our heritages. Crowdsourcing, a term coined in the early 2000s, refers to the combination of efforts and knowledge from various people towards problem solving or task completion. This approach is highly intriguing because it is novel, advanced, elementary, and popular. It breaks down not only preservation but also helps build better relationships between individuals and their heritage. However, interpreting and analysing such data mammoths sometimes amounts to expensive obligations. Crowdsourcing provides an opportunity to use the combined knowledge and enthusiasm of the public. The process of crowdsourcing cultural heritage simply means that people volunteer to help in activities such as scanning old documents or manuscripts, typing up historical records, adding labels to pictures and even re - fixing faded photographs. The preserv ation power of crowdsourcing is increased using augmented reality (AR) as well as mixed reality technologies. India has also joined the wagon of crowdsourcing for cultural heritage preservation; this can be seen with the changing technology in India whereby projects like Digital Hampi
