Imagine you are walking down the street, and suddenly, you meet a celebrity. How would you react? Probably, you would request them for a picture. That is exactly what Sid Puri, a techie from Bengaluru, did when he ran into Sundar Pichai on the streets of San Francisco. Puri took to X to share a picture of himself with the Google CEO.

“Go to SF they said, no one prepared me to just run into Sundar Pichai on the street,” Puri wrote while sharing the picture on X. He also posted the same photo on LinkedIn and shared, “Landed in SF last week, jet-lagged after 1.5 days of travelling. Just to see Sundar Pichai walking down the street and getting my photo op.”

“Wow, so cool. Also, that's my neighbourhood!” shared an X user. “Wow, he walks without any security? I am a little happy because he is so simple down to earth, and a little scared for his security at the same time,” added another. To which, Puri replied, “He had a security guard who took the photo.” A third inquired, “Great photo. What questions did you ask Sid?” A fourth wrote, “He's very kind. Anytime I ever (nervously) presented to him, he was nothing but kind and gracious to me.”
