I-Day: Google Doodle with kites symbolizes great heights achieved by India

 

Google on Monday, showed a doodle on its hunt page to observe India's 76th Independence Day. The Doodle, outlined by Kerala-based visitor craftsman Neethi, shows India celebrating 75 years of its Independence on August 15 with taking off kites representing the nation has accomplished incredible levels.

Freedom Day 2022 Doodle "portrays the way of life around kites - from the art of making brilliant wonderful kites to the merry experience of a local area meeting up. The huge field of sky brilliantly dotted with taking off kites is a bright image of the incredible levels we have accomplished. The GIF liveliness adds dynamism and brings the doodle alive."

This day remembers India's autonomy from provincial rule following two centuries of mistreatment and concealment because of the British. The festival of Independence Day praises the penances and enthusiastic endeavors of our bold chiefs and political dissidents who gave as long as they can remember for the country and the kinsmen.

Sharing his thinking about the Doodle, craftsman Neethi said that perhaps of our fondest memory, the well established custom of kite-flying has been essential to the Indian Independence Day merriments.

Political dissidents utilized kites to compose hostile to frontier mottos and flew them overhead as a characteristic of dissent.

Neethi said "A Kites are likewise a source for imaginative articulation large numbers of them convey popular themes or even friendly messages. I have drawn kites portraying our public tones, a message of adoration and remembering the 75 years of Indian freedom. They fly as high as high rises, birds and I might want to trust the sun!"....Read More

Netflix hopes Strangers Things can be its billion-dollar franchise

Technology News

Days before the July 4 holiday in the US, hundreds of fans of “Stranger Things” lined up along the beach in Santa Monica, California, to attend a fair modeled after the Netflix Inc. show. Clad in shirts with the names of characters and the high school in fictional Indiana, they waited more than an hour to ride a Ferris wheel, eat ice cream and snap selfies in a photo booth.

Like any campaign, this one is designed to draw in current fans and attract potential new ones. And it worked. The third season was viewed by 40.7 million households in its first four days, a record for Netflix. More than 18 million households watched all eight episodes.

 But it’s also an important test of whether Netflix can turn “Stranger Things,” already its most popular original show in the U.S., into something much bigger. The company, with worldwide subscribers approaching 160 million, is beginning to angle for a piece of the $122 billion consumers spend on entertainment-linked merchandise.“The category is massive, and Netflix wants to play a part,” said Gene Del Vecchio, a consultant and adjunct marketing professor at the University of Southern California...Read More
