Life - Is it a solution?

What is algorithm has now become the one most important to explain life, its origin. Gregory Chaitin, the inventor of mathematical metabiology ( applying mathematics in bio) says that "DNA is mutlbillion-year-old software," and " the origin of life is really the origin of software". To quote Jag Bhalla, science blogger, "The logic of life is more complex than the inanimate sciences need. The deep structure of life’s interactions are algorithmic (loosely algorithms = logic with if-then-else controls). Can physics-friendly algebra capture life’s biochemical computations?" Algorithm is solution finding of complex and routine problems by arithmetic or computation. Computer programming depends upon algorithms and so does our life as programmed by nature. 
I am not competent either in Mathematics or in Biology or in Computer programming or any natural science. I was a student of science till Class 12 which after 2 attempts I passed out in 1969.
I guess that the nature 'got' evolved the DNA software as the origin of life to 'get' solved a problem? What is this problem for which DNA got evolved? Whether the science research support this view, as a layman I would keep looking for an answer.

My feeling on 21st March, the World Poetry Day

"Do I look as if I look to sky, eyes in eyes
With acid on my face, 
The fact that tries
To displace
My feet from my Earth and promise me the Moon
Which is not even a stroke played by me, yes the Moon 
Which was younger 
A stroke of brush when they repainted the solar system
To replace the legislation of beauty with man holding a gun
We which was me, we which was you, and a smile which was our land 
But no longer
Next change will not be in cinemas and albums, I look to the soil, trauma Of the Soil, recoil the 
Trauma of them who worked on the soil, do I look as if I look in them 
Happening a change in delinquent, deficient order."

Climate change and our justifications

What would work in India? Climate change would hit us squarely sooner than expected. Unruly vehicular traffic and its variety in all cities ( villages, small towns too
) burning precious foreign exchange and burning our only survival outfit - the environment, industries with worst pollutants in river ( Ganga and all rivers
), seas and ponds, poly packs, litters on Himalayas, smoke chullahs, backward cheap ACs, motor bikes, cars, pumping sets, jugads ( yesterday I saw a wood trolley fitted with a discarded scooter engine and steering in 30 minutes jam that I was stuck as a pinion rider), generators ( do generator and inverter industry have any role in power crisis?),all kinds of gas guzzlers, fake pollution clearances -millions of big and small examples are looking us as if we are there dumb spectators? Hearing since childhood that India has a deep root of equivalence of culture and nature. Well, in all scriptures, narrations and every religious rituals the people justify their action as pro-nature, pro-'spirit', pro- people, for well-being of every one; justify as necessary for job, business, study, tours, enjoyment, and what not. They justify everything for the justice whose link is otherworldly.

Why wife shall take her husband's surname? Why a surname?

To use surname, to change the surname of woman after she marries to her husband ( the husband does not change his surname to his wife's surname), to use the surname of father only for the children is mostly an English norm. Before Britishers came to India, this was not the practice. In the era of equality between sexes, gender deconstruct, overcoming generation gap, same sex marriages, it is unbecoming to change one's surname or even use one. The surname or the family name is mostly a male lineage. In India in majority cases, a caste is known by surname or family name. Common 'surname' name for more than one caste often invokes curiosity when a person is introduced to another one. If we get rid of 'surname' use the first or the given name, some discrimination will be reduced.
