Wishing all my blog readers a Happy Gandhi Jayanti! Today, you might have noticed that Google has adorned its homepage with Mahatma Gandhi's Profile.
Gandi Ji's face profile is being used in place of the initial letter "G" of the Google's onscreen name, making him one of a small number of people who have been given such prominence on the site's search page.
Gandhi's birthday, October 2, is marked as a national holiday in India, called as Gandi Jayanti.
Born in 1869, Bapu insisted that non-violent civil disobedience was the best way to achieve change in India, and led nationwide campaigns in India - then under British rule - to achieve independence. He was assassinated at the age of 78 by a Hindu extremist, called Nathuram Godse.
Every year, we all celebrate Bapu's Birthday on 2nd October. When I was attending school, we had another day of holiday and used to thank Bapu for making India independent.
For once, I can thank Google, though of late it has been a headache to get my adwords account sorted?
