Warm regards, Dr. Rajashree Jain Editor, CURSOR 5.0 Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research (SICSR), Pune CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II 12 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 ARTICLES ARTICLES E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II Drifted Sculpture Of Childhood E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II Drifted Sculpture Of Childhood Divya Krishna BCA (2024-2028) When I am alone in my room with my yellow light lamp on, which is placed on my study table. Listening to Billy Joel, I wonder, about how fast the time passed away! How swiftly my beauteous, small & stress-free world which we called "CHILDHOOD" went by... When I look behind at my childhood, I feel that I have changed so much. Not physically but mentally as well. So many changes in my soul (life) which I cannot remember, where some of them are good & some are bad.. Sometimes I think if I can go back & experience the little old me back in time, just enjoying a life which she doesn’t know will fade away gradually. But we procrastinate that "strong thunderstorm" (the true hardship & reality of life) further in our lives by feeling demotivated & whining all the time, without realising how we are wasting our time avoiding these obstacles of our own life. But now, I realise that that happiness (of our childhood) cannot exist for long, and so? ~~ Its US who need to sculpt the "art of happiness" (a happy future) in our lives on our own ~~ CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 14 We usually think of e-commerce as just shopping ,stuff in a cart, a couple of discounts, and fast delivery. But when I started looking closer, I realized something else: e-commerce in India is quietly becoming one of the most powerful learning platforms for young minds. Not in the classroom sense. I mean real-world, hands-on, no-handbook kind of learning. Especially in cities like Pune, where you're surrounded by people building things from scratch, experimenting with tech, and failing forward ,it’s hard to ignore. Innovation Is Quietly Changing Its Address Let’s be honest ,innovation used to sound like a big word. Reserved for top CEOs or PhDs. But now? It’s happening in hostel rooms, cafes, and dorms filled with Wi-Fi, whiteboards, and weird ideas that somehow start working. I've seen friends run one-person Instagram stores using AI to handle customer queries. Someone I know used ChatGPT to generate ad copies and test which one converted best. Another one used Python scripts to fix delays in delivery routes. These aren’t "startups" in the traditional sense , they’re like real-time case studies in problem-solving. That’s when it hit me , e-commerce isn't just about selling stuff anymore. It’s about learning how to think. Beyond the Cart: How E-Commerce is Training India’s Next Thinkers By- Tarun Maheshwari BBA(IT) 2024-28 E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II Beyond the Cart: How E-Commerce is Training India’s 15 Next Thinkers CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 Why This Matters to Me (And Maybe You Too) As someone who wants to get into AI and consulting, this space feels like the perfect playground. Every bug in a website is a UX lesson. Every drop in engagement? A branding problem to decode. It’s like all the stuff you’d learn in a consulting internship , just messier, faster, and somehow more real. And it’s not just me. Most of us at SICSR are surrounded by this energy , people running side hustles, testing out features, pitching to customers at 1 AM in Telegram groups. It’s chaotic, but it’s also brilliant. You don’t need a corporate office or a suit. If you’ve got a laptop and the guts to try, you’re in the game Why Pune? Why Now? There’s something special about Pune. Maybe it’s the mix of tech, culture, and just enough chaos to spark creativity. In a city like this, with so many students experimenting with commerce and code, it feels like we're not just watching the future , we’re writing it. E-commerce is no longer just a career path. For many of us, it’s a mindset shift. It teaches you how to think fast, act smarter, and stay curious , which honestly sounds a lot like consulting, just without the jargon. "Some build businesses to make sales. Others build them to make sense — of the world, and of themselves."

But sometimes, these five letters carry the power to break silence, challenge injustice, and stir change. Sometimes, a voice doesn’t just echo, it moves mountains. I’m Laxmi, a girl from a quiet, traditional village where most lives follow the same path: early responsibilities, silent sacrifices, and little freedom. But my journey began differently. I was the only child of two educated, supportive parents who raised me with values that weren’t common in our surroundings: independence, courage, and the strength to speak up.But not everyone around me had that privilege. One of my closest friends disappeared from school after our 9th exams. At first, we thought she was unwell or away. But as days turned into weeks, worry grew. Two friends and I decided to visit her.Her home stood on the village’s outskirts fragile and forgotten. She stepped out, her eyes swollen, her face pale And then, in a trembling whisper, she said“They’re forcing me to marry... I don’t even know him, I’m just sixteen.” Before we could speak, her father arrived drunk, violent, and loud. He began shouting, throwing things, and tried to strike her.I was terrified. But something inside me pushed back harder than the fear.I stepped in front of her and shouted with everything I had: “STOP! Stay away from her!”He froze. WHEN MY VOICE MOVED MOUNTAINS by Laxmi Atkari BCA 2024-28 17 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 I grabbed her hand and walked straight home. My parents didn’t hesitate, they stood by me like a shield. We reported the abuse and helped her get into a girls’ school supported by an NGO. Today, that same friend is studying BSc Nursing in a nearby town. She’s free. She’s healing. She’s building the life she dreamed of and I? I discovered something powerful that day. Voice isn’t just sound. Voice is strength. Voice is resistance. Voice is action. Voice is change And when used with courage It can truly move mountains. 18 E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 India: A Country That’s Misunderstood, Yet So Incredibly Magnificent E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II 19 India , a country that holds nearly one-fifth of the world’s population. Loved by many, misunderstood by some, and judged by many more. But despite all that, it’s nothing short of incredible how this nation works. People complain about a thousand things here. Corruption, pollution, overpopulation, rules, noise, mess. And yes, I agree , we do need improvements. But take a moment, look beyond the problems, and you’ll realize: everything you’re searching for in the outside world... already exists here. We’ve Been Through a Lot ,But We Still Stand Tall India isn’t perfect , and no country is. The aftershocks of British colonization still ripple through our economy, and overpopulation has its own consequences. But somehow, through it all, we function. We live, we thrive, and we grow. Most people only talk about what’s wrong with India. Rarely do they stop to ask: what’s right? Let’s do that today. A Land of All Lands India feels like the world has settled into one country. We’re so diverse that every few kilometers, language, food, dress, and even the way we greet people changes. The beauty of humans in India is unmatched, so many cultures, ethnicity, and backgrounds, yet somehow, we coexist. India: A Country That’s Misunderstood, Yet So Incredibly Magnificent By-Apurva BBA-IT 2023-27 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 Humanity First — Always From the beginning, India has always chosen humanity over conflict. Even during wars, natural disasters, or global crises, India helps , often without expecting anything in return. When China’s people were stuck on a ship, we helped. When war victims need shelter or medication, India opens its arms. That’s who we are. Indians are kind. We help strangers without hesitation. You ask an Indian for help they’ll never turn you away. Freedom You Often Overlook You can pray whenever you want. Follow any religion. Wear what you love. Speak what’s on your mind. Write your truth. Yes, people might judge you ,but no one can force you to change. And that’s true freedom. The laws here don’t trap you. You live life without constantly being fined or punished for small things. People who study abroad often say, “I feel like I’m in a cage there.” Why? Because in many other countries, discipline is enforced with force , fines for littering, harsh laws, social restrictions. But in India? It’s empathy-based. You’re expected to love and respect your country like home , not because you’re afraid of fines, but because it’s yours. Don’t Just Preach Culture , Practice It Another thing we Indians often do? We see a headline, a piece of news , and immediately start complaining. Take rivers, for example. We treat them as holy ,call them Ganga Maa , Yamuna Maa, but is this how we treat God at home? Would you ever throw plastic, chemicals, and filth inside your temple or puja room? Then why do we do it to rivers we worship? It’s not enough to just label something as sacred. We need to protect it. Respect isn’t shown in words, it’s shown in action. Instead of pointing fingers at the government or society, ask yourself: Have I ever taken part in a river clean-up? Have I done my bit? On Cows, Culture, and Real Respect When news broke that India is one of the largest exporters of beef, people were outraged. But let’s take a pause and think, India has a massive cow population, but look at the condition of so many cows on the streets: malnourished, hungry, chewing on plastic, injured, and ignored. Is that how we respect the animal we call sacred? If we can’t take care of the cows we already have, where is this anger coming from? 20 E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 Export is part of a natural economic process. If the country is exporting resources it can’t sustain internally, and it’s helping GDP growth, infrastructure, and job creation why the blind outrage? True cultural pride doesn’t mean fighting about symbols. It means preserving values. Keeping cows healthy, feeding them, protecting them ,that’s where the real respect lies. We’re Not Lacking — We’re Just Not Following India has everything ,great schools, beautiful places, art, cinema, history, tech, talent, kindness. But the issue lies in us , in how we follow (or don’t follow) basic discipline. Foreign countries are admired because their people obey rules , not because they’re better than us. When India had a war with Pakistan, people here weren’t scared like citizens are in other war- torn countries. Because India has never chosen war at the cost of innocent blood. India stands strong with calm, not chaos. Judgment Is Our Only Real Enemy We have people of all religions, genders, castes, and cultures living under one roof. If only society could stop judging people for how they look, love, worship, or live ,India would be unstoppable. If we as a generation grow, accept, and evolve, India is already gold. We Have What It Takes We speak over 20 major languages, celebrate hundreds of festivals, and still manage to study, innovate, serve, and survive. We have respect for the army, world-class education systems, a growing economy, and unmatched culture. India isn’t the problem. It’s the mindset of some people that slows us down. India Is for Everyone India is for the rich, the middle class, the poor, the homeless, the dreamers, and the doers. India isn’t for criminals. It isn’t for judgmental minds. It’s for people who value humanity, kindness, and empathy. So don’t say you feel like you’re in a cage here. What you call rules abroad is called discipline. And if you can follow them there, you can do it here too. Do it for India. Do it for your country. 21 E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 Mental Health in the Real World, A Gen Z perspective Let’s be real: life in college isn’t all fun and filters. Between classes, deadlines, family expectations, social media, and figuring out the future, it’s easy to feel like we’re constantly under pressure. Mental health isn’t just about “not being depressed” — it’s about being self- aware, emotionally strong, and able to deal with everything life throws at us without burning out. Just like we care for our body, we’ve got to check in on our mind too. That means taking breaks, talking about what we’re feeling (even when it’s uncomfortable), and finding healthy ways to deal with stress. Don’t Fall for the Drug Trap There’s a lot of peer pressure around us — subtle and loud. Sometimes it’s at parties, sometimes it’s just “chilling with friends,” and suddenly, trying a substance feels like a vibe. But that one “harmless” joint or pill can become a doorway to something darker. Drugs don’t fix your problems. They pause them temporarily and come back with interest. You lose time, clarity, focus, and most importantly — yourself. Choosing mental clarity over temporary escape is strength, not weakness. There’s nothing cool about being addicted to something that controls you. Real Ways to Strengthen Your Mental Game Mental Health in the Real World, A Gen Z perspective. By - Kalpataru Gaur BCA (2023-2027) E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II 22 CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025 You don’t need a guru or a self-help book. Here are a few things that actually work:- Take time off your screen and get into nature, even if it's just a walk. Talk to someone — a friend, a senior, a counselor. Venting helps Journal or voice note your thoughts instead of bottling them up Do creative stuff: music, writing, dancing — anything that helps you express Set boundaries. You’re allowed to say no to things that drain you. Teachers Matter More Than You Think Teachers aren’t just here to explain code or theories. The ones who support us, listen without judgment, and create safe classroom spaces actually make a huge impact. A good teacher can spot a student going through something and offer small encouragements that mean the world. Some things teachers can do: Encourage open discussions without judgment. Teach failure as a stepping stone, not the end Include real-life mental health talk in class now and then. Show patience — not all students are okay every day. Final Thoughts Mental health is a daily process. You don’t have to have it all figured out — nobody does. But being aware, staying honest with yourself, and choosing the right path (especially when the wrong ones are easy) is what sets you apart. We're Gen Z. We talk about things. We break stigmas. We heal, hustle, and help each other rise. And it all starts with taking care of what’s inside. 23 E-Magazine Volume VII Issue II CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VII ISSUE 2, July 2025
