Proud to be BITSian George Jacob and the NMAH Smithsonian Star Spangled Banner

Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (NMAH) is the home of an American treasure - the Star - Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired the national anthem of the United States of America. The Museum closed on September 5, 2006 for major architectural renovations to the tune of $85 million. The Star Spangled Banner exhibit went on display in a monumental, inspiring new gallery last evening at a Gala Reception at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian.

Come on Junta! Show some enthu!!

New BITSAA.org : 2000 Users in 2 Weeks and counting!  
Seen one more mail from BITSAA in inbox. The mail talks about new BITSAA website and it's features. This time Vinodh and Aalap came up with revised batch wise count of registered users [1] for the site. After looking at those numbers, I felt like, I was there at RPA mess notice board looking at the bhawan wise  blood donation statistics.[2][:p]

I have observed something interesting which is common to both [1] and [2]. We, bitsians, are bit lazy (?) in participating this kind of activities, unless we get some motivation interms of statistics. For example, when we hear some statement like,Vyas is beating Ram in blood donation , RPiets are getting more gate calls, or 98batch is leading the way in xyz activity, then definitely we'll show enthu. Am I right?

So, the numbers are there in your respective inboxes. So, what are you waiting for?
