In the video, originally shared in Hindi, Singh reflected on the emotional moment and said, “When I was young, my grandfather always used to say that my Nanaji would do something big one day. And today, when I was showing him my Google campus, the smile and the pride on his face was worth seeing. Today, when I was having lunch with him in the cafeteria, he was overwhelmed with joy.”
The video captured several simple yet heartwarming moments between the two. Singh and his grandfather were seen playing games, riding bicycles and enjoying each other’s company on the campus.
‘Relive my childhood again’
Singh further shared how the visit brought back memories from his childhood. “And when we were playing games like kids, seeing his happiness brought a smile to my face. In childhood, he used to teach me how to ride a bicycle, and today in the Google campus, when I gave him a bicycle, he was so happy,” he said.
He added, “Then we went to ride a bike for a while and seeing his childhood, the child inside me was waking up again. I sat down with my mother, father, and Nanaji to play carrom for a while, and after playing for a while, I thought let's go and relive my childhood again with my Nanaji on a bicycle.”
