Queen’s image marks Google visit

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

“Doodles” on Google’s search engine homepage change periodically to mark occasions such as national holidays and anniversaries of major events.

As the Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh are visitng google headquarter in London today, an image of the Queen has been incorporated into Google’s UK homepage logo to mark her visit. 

I just came to know about this in today’s news that the Queen is visiting Googl’e London head quarter and that’s why she is in Google’s logo on search engine page.

I had already read about Doodle for Google competiton and was inspired by the creativity of the youngsters especially kids.

More than 70,000 youngsters from 3,000 schools had entered their designs based on the My Community theme.

Daniel Thorne’s picture was the overall winner of this year’s Doodle 4 Google competition for young people.

I really appreciate the strategy of google to change its logo accordingly and also allowing and appreciating the creativity of designing it’s logo through Doodle competition.

Google, Keep it up!

Hui hei shaam tu Ankhon mein bas gaya Phir tu
Kahan gaya hei Mere shehar ke Musafir tu
Mein Janta hoon ke dunya tujhe badal de gi
Mein manta hoon ke aisa nahi bazahar tu

May Allah bless him by forgiving him and may his soul rest in peace.

Ameen

My First Blog

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Assalam-o-alaikum and hello to every body!

I used to leave comments on different blogging websites as a blog reader but never tried to write my own blog ever. Then i had this blog phobia all of a sudden and the main cause was to share information and my personal views about any topics particularly IT related.

Now i have my own personal blogging website and soon there will be very informative and informal/yummy blogs as well:)

Your comments are always welcomed.

Wish me good luck in this new adventure.

Cheers,

K.
