"One day, I woke up and Sudha asked me, 'Is anything special today?' I said, 'No, nothing.' So, I decided to head to the office. But as I was getting in the car, she asked again, 'Think of anything special today?' Again, I said no. It felt like just another day."

It is said that wives can forgive and forget, but it is the daughters, who watches and remembers their father's every action as a 'husband'.

Akshata was studying in Stanford University in the United States during that time. Akshata without mincing her words asked him to cancel his work flight and fly back to Bangalore to wish his wife, a happy anniversary. Narayana Murthy narrated the call and said:

"She asked me, 'What are you doing?' I told her I was heading to catch a flight. She replied, 'Cancel the flight right now, take the first flight back to Bangalore tomorrow morning, and wish your wife a happy anniversary!'"

However, it was bit difficult for Narayana Murthy to cancel his work as he had to deliver a speech at 3 in the afternoon. To this, his daughter, Akshata ordered him to hire a private plane but go back to wish his wife, Sudha. Narayana Murthy shared:

"I don’t care if you have a speech at 3 pm. If you need to hire a private plane, hire it, but come back and wish her!"

Sudha Murthy, who was enjoying the incident all along, jumped in and revealed that it was their 25th wedding anniversary and it doens't happen every year. However, she felt bad for five to ten minutes. However, it was her daughter, Akshata that was more upset, and she revealed that it never happens in America. Sudha in her husband's defence stated that in India it happens as no one remembers it.
