Assia Djebar’s 81st Birthday
 |
| 30.06.2017-Friday-வெள்ளி-Doodle-Assia Djebar’s 81st Birthday-JPEG |
Born Fatima-Zohra Imalayene on this date in 1936, the Algerian novelist, translator, and filmmaker used the pen name Assia Djebar. She was the first Algerian woman to be admitted to the country’s top literary university, the Ecole Normale Superieure. Djebar published her first book at 21; by the time she was 30, she had written 4 novels in French. She quickly became one of North Africa's most influential writers.
A feminist, Djebar wrote about women's independence and encouraged Algerian women to forge their own paths and find their unique voices. She believed that education was the key to giving women a voice in society, and in 1962 began teaching history at the University of Algiers. Her work inspired many women to express themselves freely.
Today’s Doodle reflects a scene from the first chapter of Djebar’s novel Fantasia, in which she explores the history of Algeria through her experiences as a young girl.
Syed Sadequain Ahmed Naqvi’s 87th Birthday
 |
In 1960s Pakistan, Syed Sadequain Ahmed Naqvi stroked new life into the centuries-old art of Islamic calligraphy, turning words into vibrantly detailed expressionist paintings. Today’s Doodle celebrates Sadequain’s legacy as one of Pakistan’s most popular and prolific artists.
Sadequain created his own distinct script outside of the traditional kufic (angular) and naskh (cursive) styles. Descended from a family of calligraphers, he turned a practical art form into one of vivid expression — a shift that has given calligraphy a presence in the contemporary art scene of Pakistan.
Sadequain also painted vast murals, drew elaborate illustrations, and even wrote powerful poetry. Though he created a large body of work, he rejected material wealth. He was an artist for the people and was known to give his paintings away for free, even refusing to take on commissions from royalty and heads of state around the world.
Many of Sadequain's murals still adorn the walls of public buildings in Pakistan and India. One of them, “Quest for Knowledge,” can be seen on the ceiling of the Lahore Museum — or online at the Google Cultural Institute.
Renowned for his work in Pakistan, Sadequain received national awards like the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz and the Presidential Medal of Honor. He was also recognized in art circles abroad, receiving the Paris Biennale Prize in 1961.
Today we celebrate Syed Sadequain Ahmed Naqvi with Pakistan and honor his contributions to the arts and to public space.

Celebrating Victor Hugo
 |
Today we celebrate world-renowned poet, statesman, and human rights activist Victor Hugo. The final chapter of his epic novel Les Misérables was published on this date in 1862.
Before he turned 30, Hugo was already an established poet, dramatist, artist, and novelist. Today's Doodle depicts some of his best-known works, including Notre Dame de Paris(The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) (1831) and the poetry collection Les Contemplations(1856). Between those milestones, Hugo began his legendary novel Les Misérables, about social injustice, redemption, and revolution.
By the time Les Misérables was published in 1862, Hugo had been exiled almost 10 years for his political views. During that time, he produced three poetry collections, plus numerous books about social and economic disparity, including Les Travailleurs de la Mer(Toilers of the Sea) and L’Homme Qui Rit (The Man Who Laughs). Hugo later founded the Association Litteraire et Artistique Internationale to support artists’ rights.
Hugo appeared on a French banknote and is honored with streets, parks, hiking trails, and statues in most large French cities, as well as in Guernsey, where he lived in exile. Today's Doodle is a fitting addition to the long list of tributes to the venerable Victor Hugo.

Mudik 2017
Mudik 2017
Today’s Doodle marks the start of Mudik, a yearly homecoming in Indonesia.
City folks take this time to travel far and wide to visit family in rural villages.
Travelers get home any way they can — by motorbike, train, car and bus.
Local governments even offer mudik gratis, discounted tickets helping motorbike travelers to take ferries and buses.
Leading up to Mudik, cities become ghost towns when their residents leave.
In fact, electricity use in Jakarta can decrease by up to 70% during Mudik!
Despite all the traffic, Indonesians happily jump into the hustle and bustle of travel in order to bring back loads of oleh-oleh, or souvenirs, for their relatives.
Safe travels to all and happy Mudik!

Celebrating the ICC Champions Trophy 2017
Celebrating the ICC Champions Trophy 2017.
13.06.2017-Tuesday-செவ்வாய்-Google's Doodles.
Ah, summer: the sound of leather on willow, and the spectacle of cricket ... cricket! As the tournament begins in the Oval cricket ground, something buzzes outside. A team of crickets sans tickets have set up their own wickets for a game of pest cricket! As they face their archrivals, the snails, it’s sure to be a match for the centuries. Don’t be fooled by their sluggish looks — these fielders can be fast on their feet!
To celebrate the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, I inviting everyone to tap/click and take a swing at my pocket-size game!
I know that cricket is loved worldwide, so I wanted to make sure some Doodle works for everyone, including those on slower mobile networks. I kept the file size fly-sized, and the result is my smallest interactive Doodle ever — even snail networks can load it in seconds.
Whether you're enjoying the tournament at a snail’s pace or bowling faster than the beat of a hummingbird's wings, here's hoping you hit it out of the park this summer!
