Valentine’s Day 2023: Google Doodle celebrates February 14 with adorable animation of raindrops That Join to Become Heart
Valentine’s Day is being celebrated around the world today, February 14, Even Google is celebrating Valentone’s Day with their annual Google Doodle. Valentine’s Day commemorates the feeling of being in love, and Google Doodle did the same.
Rain or shine, will you be mine? Valentine’s Day is here and so is Google Doodle. February 14 animated Google Doodle celebrates Valentine’s Day, the most romantic day of the year, when people all over the world express affection to their lovers, friends, and partners through gifts, greetings, and more. It shows two rain drop falling and making a heart. Every year people celebrate the day with their loved ones, and Google shares a doodle to commemorate the occasion.
As one of the droplets starts to slide down, the other quickly comes to its rescue, by joining together, becoming a bigger blob together, and hence strong enough to hold on and not fall down. Google, in its inimitable way, used basic science concepts of adhesion and cohesion to let the world know that to truly stand strong, all we need to do is be together. After all, it was the great John Lennon who said. “All you need is love.” Who are we to argue?

Interestingly, Google also shared an early draft of the doodle, where there were three water droplets instead of two. However, one of the trio slips down the screen and eventually disappears — because it didn’t get together with anyone else. The other two droplets manage to survive by joining together, perhaps learning a quick lesson from their friend’s demise. Perhaps that was a little too dark for Google? Who knows.

The Google Doodle page also talked about the various legends associated with Valentine’s Day. “Did you know that during the Middle Ages, European countries like England and France believed that February14 was the start of mating season for birds? They associated this phenomenon with love and began romantic celebrations soon after. The holiday became more popular throughout the world in the 17th century. Whatever your forecast looks like today, we hope you enjoy celebrating with your special someone. Happy Valentine’s Day,” the post said.
