Haven't you heard of 'bitwise'?

Are you one of the dumbest beings who have not yet heard of Bitwise?

Bit (binary digit 0 and 1) is the atomic component of the cyber world where software geeks spend their lives dreaming about kernels, compilers and what not. So, in 2001, at IIT Kharagpur, Arindam Chakraborti led a team which decided to have some fun and enjoy with our online worldwide fraternity who are in crazy love with programming and algorithms like us. Here ends the story of inception of Bitwise.

In last six years, this online competition has succeeded in the niche of computer studs. This year, already more than 1500 mad men have registered in this competition, around 10% of them are international participants cvering 37 countries on this globe.
They are going to battle each other for prizes worth Rs. 100,000.....so if you are not a coward, join the war and register yourself before Feb 05.

The monarchy continues....

Though we have been successful in getting rid of monarchy in most of the governments, we have not yet wiped out the desire of a father leaving the ownership of a state to his son.
The most powerful office on this earth, the occupant of the white house cannot deny having received the benefits of nepotism in his career. Sometimes, capable daughters may get to reap the benefits as in the case of Mrs. Bhutto.
And nonetheless, the current political scene in the country too bears the testimony to this theory.

Today's newspapers were abuzz with two political stories, one regarding the demand for the coronation of Rahul Gandhi,son of Rajiv Gandhi and other regarding the attempts of toppling the Cong. govt. in Karnataka by H.D.Kumaraswamy, the third son of former PM Devegoda. In effect, despite best attempts of crying for the democracy in the country, we have not been able to come far. The democracy is nothing but a farce, the demands of congress party workers of making a young novice like rahul as the country's PM bolsters my arguments. Is honorable PM Mr. Man Mohan Singh nothing more than a keeper for the post? Is this nation a family property which is kept in trust till the time the family heir is ready to take reins?
Why do not people get this simple fact that all the accolades in life need to be earned by merit and not by birth? If there are some heredetiary qualities of an able administrator or a public leader, they will themselves bring the right man to the right position at the right time. The need is for the people to get out of the slave mentality, Only the son of a king can be the king.
Forced attempts will always lead to disruption and chaos, as can be seen in the case of Shiv Sena when Bal Thakre tried to force the leadership of his son, Udhav on his loyalist and had to face the revolt by his most trusted and able lieutenants like Raj Thakre, Narayan Rane and Sanjay Nirupam.

The problem exists because every father wants to give his son the position he has earned in his lifetime, he wants him to start from where he stops. But, we forget that as our age begins from zero, so will our achievements. This is the law of nature and whenever humans will try to disrupt it, nature will retaliate back to settle the score.
