New Delhi: On the 128th birth anniversary on Tuesday of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, widely celebrated as Children’s Day across the country, Google decided to sport a playful Doodle celebrating 131 years of the hole puncher.
“Today we celebrate 131 years of the hole puncher, an understated — but essential — artifact of German engineering. As modern workplaces trek further into the digital frontier, this centuries-old tool remains largely, wonderfully, the same,” Google said.
The decision has amused social media users in India.
