15 year old me created a doodle, and here's the story behind

Back in 2015, I participated in Google India's Doodle 4 Google annual student doodling competition, and designed a doodle with the theme "GeM Rice - Genetically Modified Rice that can grow in any terrain". The inspiration for this sparked from the film 1: Nenokkadine's Golden Rice which was penned by Jakka Hariprasad. 

After a lot of planning and running out of time to actually draw and paint my doodle I failed to  attempt to design a doodle in the competition's 2014 edition. Hence, the next year, I was very determined to put forth my design this time, and squeezed all the free time I had to conceptualize the idea, according to the theme "If I could create something for India, it would be...". 

I still remember the theme for 2014, which was, "A place in India I wish to visit", and being the dessert enthusiast, I had finalised Kolkata to be the place, with a design involving the Howrah Bridge, Gulab Jamun and Rasgulla (or as Bengalis love to call it Roshogulla). 

Here's my entry conceptualizing GeM Rice:

Although not possible, If Google let me take part in the competition (possibly an age-open version) I'd be happy to doodle again!
