Its the Thank-you season: Cheers to Google

Its Google's 13th birthday. I wonder how I ever got along without it. Used Google Search at least 25 times today. Used Google Maps, the Gmail, the Google talk and the blogger all within the last hour. It's so talented!! To think that communication before Google was only through a rotary phone that entertained us by dialing wrong numbers. Now, we have Google's Youtube to do the entertaining. We have with Google a window that opens into the world.

Google does not know Gandhi

Usually, Google acknowledges the birthday of a great soul by including an art banner about him on its home page.  I am disappointed that there was no art for Mahatma Gandhi.  The two 'O's in "Google" would have done nicely for Gandhi's glasses and the 'g's for his ears. 

Gandhi's favorite hymn was "Vaishnava Janato"--that carried a message of equality of all men and their obligations towards one another.  Let us listen because we have yet to learn how to live with others in harmony.

Happy Birthday, Gandhiji!
