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!
