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.

A search on the search engine giant for children's day 2017 doodle shows 'Children's day 2017' boxed inside the dateline 'June 1 2017' along with the history of children's day doodles over the years.
Has Google forgotten children's day in India?
