Google Doodle Punches A Narrow Hole, Skips Children's Day 2017

While Google doodle today commemorated the existence of 131 years of Hole Puncher, it simultaneously punctured the expectations of the Indian audience who came in search of a children's day doodle.

"Today we celebrate 131 years of the hole puncher, an understated -- but essential -- artefact of German engineering. As modern workplaces trek further into the digital frontier, this centuries-old tool remains largely, wonderfully, the same," Google said in its description on the doodle.
