    Satyajit Ray Honoured with Google Doodle

    Google today celebrates the 92nd birthday of the veteran film-maker Satyajit Ray with a scene from his very first and most acclaimed movie: Pather Panchali.
    Satyajit Ray was an artist right since a young age and he began his career as a commercial artist. His interest in films grew after a visit to London where he was inspired by the movie ‘The Bicycle Thieves’ and the French filmmaker Jean Renoir.

    Satyajit Ray began his career in Indian cinema with the path breaking movie Pather Panchali. The Bengali movie won eleven international prizes, including Best Human Documentary at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie was the beginning of the Apu Trilogy (formed of Pather Panchali and the sequels Aparajito and Apur Sansar al featuring the lead protagonist Apu) and was released in 1955.

    Ray could not gather the funds required for the movie and as a result the movie was shot over a period of 3 years, in breaks, as and when Ray could raise money. He even pawned his wife’s ancestral jewellery and emptied his personal savings for the movie. Ray rejected many offers of money from investors who demanded a change in the script. However, the government intervened and he received a grant which aided in the completion of the movie.
    Apart from Pather Panchali, Ray’s movie works incorporate a wide range from inspirations from Tagore to films depicting British India and Ray has even dabbled in science fiction. He directed, scripted and made movies like

    Saul Bass (May 8, 1920 -- April 25, 1996) was an American graphic designer and filmmaker, best known for his design of motion picture title sequences, film posters, and corporate logos.

    During his 40-year career Bass worked for some of Hollywood's most prominent filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Among his most famous title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the credits racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of a skyscraper in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that races together and apart in Psycho.

    Bass designed some of the most iconic corporate logos in North America, including the AT&T 'bell' logo in 1969, as well as AT&T's 'globe' logo in 1983 after the breakup of the Bell System. He also designed Continental Airlines' 1968 'jetstream' logo and United Airlines' 1974 'tulip' logo which became some of the most recognized airline industry logos of the era. Google honored Saul Bass by featuring him in a Google Doodle on May 8, 2013.

    Google celebrated the birthday of celebrated British fossil hunter Mary Anning with a special doodle.
    Born on May 21 1799, she became famous for important discoveries in the Jurassic marine fossil beds at Lyme Regis in Dorset.

    The Doodle showed her uncovering dinosaur's fossilised remains.

    Anning used to search for fossils during the winter months when landslides exposed new fossils that had to be collected quickly before they were lost to the sea. She nearly lost her life in 1833 during a landslide that killed her dog.

    She and her brother Joseph found the first ichthyosaur skeleton when she was just twelve years old. They also have to their credit the identification of the first two plesiosaur skeletons ever found.

    Her observations played a key role in the discovery of coprolites.

    She passed away at the age of 47 on 9 th March 1847.
