Google’s Doodle yesterday celebrated poet Farouk Shousha’s 82nd birthday and his radio show “Lughatuna Al-Jamila.” Shousha credited his classical style of schooling for his “strong foundation in Arabic, which in turn inspired his lifelong passion for safekeeping the quality and purity of the language. On his show, Our Beautiful Language, he would recite and dissect Arabic poetry, popularizing it among the masses.” The Doodle celebrating his birthday “depicts him as he might have looked on set: distinguished with salt and pepper hair, joyously opening up a world of poetry and culture to listeners tuning in from Egypt and beyond.”
