Google came up with a very innovative logo for their homepage today on October 2, Mahatama Gandhi’s birth anniversary, and looking at it only made me wish that I had come up with such a creative piece of art.
A famous sketch of Gandhi’s profile covered up for the G in Google, leaving the famous corporation with only “oogle” to spell out. The way in which Gandhi’s mustache converted what might have been mistaken for a ‘C’ into a ‘G’ was the best part. An extra touch was given by putting the Google logo on a khaki, albeit photoshop-woven.
He lies on the deathbed
old and disdained
life ebbing out of him
as onlookers watch on
waiting, waiting
His eyes are closed
his wrinkled skin hanging loose
heavy breathing fills the air
Once so dear
today no one wants to come near
His descendant is about to be here
to all, he is the one who’s most dear
Time is passing by
slowly but steadily
it is passing by…
Suddenly his breathing gets faster
he clasps the crooked chair
his chest pulls out like a pigeon
and exactly at midnight
he breathes his last.
No sooner,
his descendant steps into the hut
and people rejoice
But we all know
he was too late
And he had to be. . .
