He remembered the days when he had to walk across to Sarojini Naidu Hall, the only girls hostel in the campus then, to meet his future wife Anjali, who was a classmate.

"It wasn't always easy," revealed Pichai. "If you had to get someone at the girls hostel, you had to walk in the front and request somebody. Then they would go in and loudly say, Anjali, Sundar is here for you."
