Doodle 4 Google – India winner paints Assam’s Natural and Cultural Paradise as Google celebrates Children’s Day

Children Day Google Doodle
Google’s idea of celebrating Children’s Day has only made us a fan of theirs for they used a child’s creation as the doodle of the day. Doodle 4 Google winner Vaidehi Reddy’s idea of a depicting the colourful and aesthetically rich state of Assam in Google Doodle is commendable. Every year on the birth anniversary of our first Prime Minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, we celebrate the Children’s Day in India on November 14. For the love and affection that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had for the children, he was fondly called as Chacha Nehru (Uncle Nehru) or Chaffinch (Uncle) by the kids. He saw them as the future of the nation and today on his 125th birth anniversary, Google ensured to honour him through the vision of his proposed future.
Google India held its sixth edition of Doodle 4 Google competitionn where the theme given was that of ‘A place in India I wish to visit’. Based on this theme, the students send in their drawings and the selected winner’s sketch would be created as the doodle of Children’s Day. Among the 12 shortlisted 12 finalists, Google India announced Vaidehi Reddy as the winner of this year’s Doodle design competition. She drew a painting about the ‘Natural and Cultural Paradise – Assam’ and this is what is reflected in today’s Google Doodle.
The Google Doodle of Children’s Day reminds you everything beautiful about the northeast state. It highlights the famous wildlife, the tiger, the one-horned rhinoceros. The inclusion of woman performing the regional bihu dance, the bamboo trees, tea bags denoting the luscious green farms of tea; everything is so colourful and bright!

George Boole’s 200th Birthday

  Here’s an easy, yes-or-no question: Is the universe complex? YES, of course, you could say; it would be crazy to think otherwise! But on the other hand, British mathematician   George Boole   taught us that NO, things can be seen as relatively simple; any values can be pared down to yes or no, true or false, or 0 or 1 (which, here at Google, is our personal favorite). In 1849, Boole was appointed as the first Professor of Mathematics at   University College Cork , where he pioneered developments in logic and mathematics. His beautiful binary “Boolean” system was detailed in   An Investigation of the Laws of Thought   in 1854, which inevitably enabled revolutionary thinking in not just logic and math, but also engineering and computer science. As one of the most important scientists to have ever worked in Ireland, Boole effectively laid the foundations of the entire Information Age while working from UCC. So it’s fair to say that without Geo...

Fanny Blankers-Koen’s 100th Birthday

On a rainy summer day in 1948, onlookers at London’s Wembley track saw an unexpected athlete make history. Dutch runner and 30-year-old mother of two Fanny Blankers-Koen outstrided her opponents in the women’s 200m by 0.7 seconds—the highest margin in Olympics 200m history and a record that still stands today.   Born near Baarn, the Netherlands, in 1918, Blankers-Koen had set a national record for the women’s 800m by age 17. At 18, she competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, placing fifth in the 4x100m and sixth in high jump. After the 1940 and 1944 Olympics were canceled, many thought Blankers-Koen would never make another Olympics. When she declared her intentions to compete in the 1948 London Games, she received letters from many criticizing her for continuing to race despite being a mother and insisting she stay home.   But words couldn’t break Blankers-Koen’s stride. She captured four golds during the 1948 London Games, winning the 100m, 80...
