Google CEO Sunder Pichai shares gyan and nostalgia at his alma mater IIT Kharagpur Except for a few flecks of grey in his beard, 44-year-old Google CEO Sunder Pichai still looks boyish. Talking to students at his alma mater, IIT Kharagpur, where he visited today after passing out 23 years ago, he relived his student days with the verve of a young student.

Pichai, who had come to IIT Kharagpur from Madurai and didn't know Hindi, thought 'abbey saale' was a greeting. "Listening to others speak in my first two weeks in college, I thought you address people as abey saale. One day, I called someone in the mess, abey saale. The next thing I know, the folks in the mess were quite upset and temporarily shut it down," he said.
