That's
7:47
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)

S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
You're driving and you're able to still do business,
7:54
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)

7:55
S… Speaker 4 (Anil Mic B)

8:01
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
what I meant.
8:02
S… Speaker 4 (Anil Mic B)
That's
8:14
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
all right.
8:14
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
No rush.
8:15
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So,
8:16
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
the...
8:18
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
What I would like to do is I'm going to interview you,
8:22
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
and my style of interview is just two friends talking,
8:25
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
nothing more.
8:26
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And I'm only going to share what
8:30
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
you share with me to Ed and to Jerry,
8:34
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
no one else.
8:35
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And then I'm going to write it up and I'm going to send it to you to give to your children.
8:40
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
But I will never show it to anyone
8:44
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
else.
8:44
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
That'll be up to you if you want to do that.
8:48
S… Speaker 3 (Anil Mic B)
Okay?
8:48
S… Speaker 4 (Anil Mic B)
Sounds good.
8:50
S… Speaker 5 (Anil Mic B)
So,
8:51
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
all the books that I've written,
8:56
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I've always,
8:57
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
as I told you when we met,
8:58
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I was always looking for the
9:03
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
special things that were important to the person telling
9:07
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
the story,
9:08
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
meaning you.
9:09
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I call them gems,
9:11
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
but they're the kind of things that you normally don't share.
9:15
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Maybe you share it with your wife,
9:17
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
your family,
9:18
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
your children,
9:19
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
but nobody else.
9:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
All what you share is only going to be
9:25
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
able to explain to Ed a little bit more
9:29
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
who you are so that when you come together for the film,
9:32
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
it's going to be like two old friends talking.
9:40
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
We were going to bring to you today,
9:42
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Ed has a copy of his interview,
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
but we're going to email it to Kevin.
9:49
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
He'll give it to you,
9:51
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
and then we'll drop by,
9:53
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
or the next time we see you,
9:55
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
we'll drop by a written copy,
9:57
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
and you can use that however you wish.
10:00
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)

please let me give me
10:24
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)

S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
about your childhood in other words where did you
10:32
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)

S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Okay,

S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)

10:47
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
a good start.
10:50
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I've never been asked that word,
10:52
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
but I appreciate that getting these thoughts out of my mind.
10:55
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah,
10:57
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
so I was born in India.
10:59
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
There's a state called Gujarat and a city called Paroda.
11:08

11:38
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
uh eight siblings
11:42
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Six sisters and two brothers.
11:43
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
It's always been very full
11:48
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
of energy,
11:49
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
you would say,
11:50
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
that there were a dull moment growing up with all these
11:54
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
sisters and brothers in the house.
11:56
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
You know,
11:58
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
my mom was great.
11:59
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Actually,
12:01
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
my mom was the inspiration for me.
12:04
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
How she grew,
12:06
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
met, how she took care of all the eight kids with little and no income,
12:10
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
basically.
12:11
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Wow.
12:13
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah, my dad one time was a very successful contractor and
12:18
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
we went from there to completely broke.
12:20
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
And she ran an
12:25
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
entire family complex my dad had built with
12:29
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
the rental income.
12:30
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I found her to
12:34
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
be very smart and successful business person I can think of
12:38
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
than how she managed.
12:39
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah,
12:42
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
that's great.
12:46
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Go ahead.
12:46
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I didn't mean to interrupt,
12:47
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
but I thought that's a great story.
12:49
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
That's a gem,
12:50
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
you know?
12:52
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah, I know it's a
12:59
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
success, but my dad was really
13:03
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
successful where he was owning
13:09
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
a car in India in those days.
13:11
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
He's like, you've got to be a top -notch successful individual that he went
13:15
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
from owning a car to riding a bicycle.
13:19
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I've seen all those things,
13:21
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
business went down because he got cheated by his partners and people and all
13:25
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
these things. I think to me since that he basically went into
13:29
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
a mode that he never got out of
13:33
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
it and just got up and worked.
13:35
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Anyhow,
13:37
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
so the childhood was fine.
13:40
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I mean, I'm going to the high
13:44
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
school and I'm making sure that we all get the educations.
13:54
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Did you live in the country or the city?
14:19
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Very robust in the technology point of view and creating the
14:23
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
business point of view.
14:25
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So that's a city where everybody wants to be a business
14:29
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
person.
14:29
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Oh, yeah.
14:30
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
When you were going to school,
14:34
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
did you learn English or
14:38
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
did you have two languages?
14:40
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah,
14:41
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
no. We were going to school in the native language.
14:44
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
It's called Vajrati there.
14:46
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Okay.
14:55
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yes.
15:00
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
We didn't start learning how to read and write English until
15:04
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
we got into the high school area.
15:07
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah.
15:07
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Where we learned how to write ABC and all the stuff.
15:10
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
But speaking English was not there
15:15
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
at all. So I learned how to speak English after
15:19
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
moving to this country.
15:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Well,
15:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
that's terrific because you speak really good English.
15:24
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah.
15:25
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So when you're...
15:27
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
When you're going to high school or school,
15:30
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
was it hard or was it easy?
15:33
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Because,
15:34
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
for instance, for me,
15:35
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
school was always hard.
15:37
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah,
15:38
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
for me,
15:39
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
it was pretty hard.
15:40
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So
15:51
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
was I.
15:51
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So was I.
15:52
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah, it was always difficult,
15:53
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
yeah.
15:54
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So it was just always passing through.
15:55
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
And most of the years,
15:59
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I probably passed to the minimum required.
16:01
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
The study was not paying for
16:05
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
me somehow,
16:06
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
but I always...
16:07
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Got through it.
16:08
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I knew that studying education is important.
16:10
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So I stuck to it.
16:12
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
And mom did the sticking stick in her hand
16:16
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
all of a sudden make sure that I go to school.
16:17
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Oh, yeah.
16:18
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
We just go through that.
16:20
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
But yeah, so, you know,
16:21
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I always found myself to be not a bright student.
16:24
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
But there's someone that always wanted to be successful
16:29
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
and do something.
16:30
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So I always push the hardest you can.
16:34
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Would you say that you always wanted to do something good for other
16:38
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
people as well?
16:39
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yes
16:52
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
That's
17:07
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
exactly
17:16
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
my same philosophy so when
17:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
When you're going through school,
17:22
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
did you play sports or did you study?
17:25
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
No,
17:27
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I wanted to study.
17:30
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Played with
17:34
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
neighbors.
17:35
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Sports was very near.
17:38
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
A lot of cricket.
17:40
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Played soccer.
17:42
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Wow.
17:42
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
And badminton.
17:45
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Stuff like that.
17:46
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Those are the sports that I used to play a lot.
17:48
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
And marbles.
17:49
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yes,
17:50
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
yes, I remember.
17:52
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
That agates.
17:54
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yes.
17:55
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah.
18:16
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
right exactly exactly as
18:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
you were as you were going through school did
18:25
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
where you were playing soccer,
18:26
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
in your mind,
18:28
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
did you have an idea of where you wanted to
18:32
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
go in life at that time?
18:33
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I didn't know where
18:39
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I wanted to go,
18:39
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
but I was always fearful about not
18:43
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
successful because of my lack of education,
18:48
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
ability,
18:49
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
study,
18:50
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
because I knew that I was not number one in the class.
18:55
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
But I always wanted to do something good for
18:59
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
myself.
18:59
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So that was always a fear.
19:01
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Outside the education,
19:05
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I always did everything beyond an extra
19:09
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
step to be good at either sports or anything else.
19:12
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
I was always the best sports player.
19:15
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Okay.
19:16
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So when your dad had his problems,
19:19
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
am I correct,
19:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
your mom sort of took over?
19:22
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah.
19:24
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And so then...
19:27
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
She nurtured the family along.
19:30
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And what was the thing,
19:33
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
do you remember,
19:34
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
when your mother said,
19:36
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
we're going to America?
19:38
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Sure.
19:43
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Wow.
20:00
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
here uh civil engineering then he stayed
20:04
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
here and never went back so he settled down here so after uh
20:08
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
back in 80s uh he filed
20:12
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
for my dad 70s 576 file for
20:16
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
my dad to come to usa and my my dad didn't
20:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
want to be here so he just brought my older brother in 78 came
20:24
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
here dropped him back here and then went back home
20:27
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And so after that,
20:29
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
he filed for me and my sisters and
20:33
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
the family to be back here.
20:35
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So that's how we ended up coming to USA.
20:37
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I came in August of 81 and my sisters came in 84.
20:41
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Did your mother come with you?
20:43
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Mother came in 84.
20:45
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Was that the first time you ever
20:49
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
flew in an airplane?
20:50
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Oh yeah,
20:52
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
first time I ever saw her.
20:53
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
That was exciting,
20:56
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
right?
20:57
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
It was very exciting.
20:58
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
It was...
20:59
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Scary?
20:59
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
It was very scary.
21:01
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I was nervous.
21:02
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yes.
21:03
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Of excitement and seeing that I'm going to be in the plane.
21:07
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yes.
21:08
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And just being at the airport itself because I never entered
21:12
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
the airport in my life.
21:13
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Really?
21:13
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Wow, that's great.
21:14
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah,
21:15
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
the first time when you were getting the plane to get here.
21:18
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So,
21:19
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
how long did it take?
21:21
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
12 hours to come?
21:22

S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I believe,
21:31
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
in Hong Kong.
21:32
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And then there was a change over the flight
21:36
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
and came down to here.
21:38
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So it was total journey time was over 30 hours.
21:41
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So when you,

21:47
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)

21:47
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So did you have good
21:52
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
feelings, bad feelings,
21:53
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
or medium families when you left India?
21:56
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
And then when you saw...
21:59
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
San Francisco for the first time out of the window.
22:02
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
What did you think?
22:03
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I was mesmerized
22:07
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
by the lights.
22:08
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
When I got in the car and
22:12
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
the speed, it was all the 55 miles an hour driving that's fast
22:16
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
and things was very fascinating.
22:18
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Of course,
22:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
getting with the car was a novelty for us to get on there in
22:25
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
a taxi.
22:25
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So my brother picked me up,
22:28
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
of course.
22:29
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
and uh just driving through that i can remember i'll just say driving on three
22:33
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
we're looking at all this billboards and and the speed and the lights
22:37
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
as a wow is is this uh something like
22:41
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
this that we've never seen where you are so it was pretty mesmerizing to
22:46
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
be in the road for you with the speed and with the things that i
22:50
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
saw right do you
22:52
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Were you sad about leaving India or not?
22:56
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
No.
22:57
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
No.
22:57
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Were you excited about coming to America?
23:00
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I was very excited to come to America because I knew there's nothing
23:04
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I could do in India with the Bible.
23:06
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Okay.
23:08
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So I said I would start a new life here.
23:11
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So did you and the family move in with your uncle or did your mom
23:16
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
get a place?
23:17
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
No, it's actually my uncle owned a little motel,
23:21
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
like 10 units motel,
23:23
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
you know, in those days,
23:23
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
small town motel.
23:25
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So my brother was managing for my uncle,
23:28
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
so I moved in with my brother.
23:29
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And,
23:30
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
you know,
23:31
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
each motel had their kind of apartments in it.
23:34
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yes, yes.
23:35
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So that's where your office and your living room and kitchen small.
23:39
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I think it was about,
23:40
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I would probably say about 400 square feet total.
23:43
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Sure.
23:43
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
That's where we moved in with him.
23:47
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Do you remember the name of the motel?
23:50
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah,
23:51
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
it was Fifth Avenue Motel.
23:52
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Great name.
23:54
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Fifth Avenue Motel.
23:56
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
It was on Fifth Avenue.
23:57
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Oh, yeah.
23:58
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And it was in Redwood City is where I moved in.
24:01
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And so I kind of worked through my
24:06
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
brother renting rooms at night and everything else.
24:10
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I learned that because he was managing.
24:12
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
He had a full -time job as a mechanical designer.
24:38
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
When you arrived in
24:42
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
San Francisco,
24:43
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
did you speak any English at all?
24:45
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
No.
24:47
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Wow.
24:47
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Wow.
24:48
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah.
24:50
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)

24:55
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
stuff fundamentals but speaking english was not the uh something
25:00
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
i was able to do but yeah so it was it was tough who
25:04
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
taught you uh the school and that's what
25:08
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
uh everything happened because i of course i went to yeah
25:15
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)

25:22
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
to be uh what they have
25:26
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
they put me in junior uh but after six months they
25:31
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
moved me to senior because a lot of other men it was
25:35
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
very easy here somehow wow then what we were studying in india
25:40
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So algebra,
25:41
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
physics,
25:42
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
everything.
25:43
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I grasped that theory.
25:46
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
To be honest with you,
25:48
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
those things that I was learning in 11th grade,
25:51
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
we learned that in 7th grade,
25:53
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
6th, 7th grade.
25:54
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Wow.
25:54
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So the subject was very easy.
25:58
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
English was the only problem I was having.
26:00
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So they moved me to a senior,
26:02
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
a six -month introvert,
26:04
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
because I was just doing great in these things,
26:07
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
so they moved me up.
26:08
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
But learning English through their friends and being in the school and
26:12
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
just kind of learning,
26:14
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
watching TV.
26:15
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah.
26:17
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I don't know if you remember this show called Benny Hill.
26:19
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah.
26:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
It was a British comedian show.
26:23
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
It used to come in 11 o 'clock.
26:24
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And that one is all action.
26:26
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
There was hardly any dialogue.
26:27
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Huh.
26:30
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
That was one of my favorite shows.
26:31
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And you can learn a lot about without
26:36
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
speaking, how you can get your point across.
26:40
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Yeah.
26:40
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
When you came here and you moved in to the
26:44
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
hotel, did you meet American
26:49
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
friends or did you have friends from India that you
26:53
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
hung around with?
26:59
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
for at least a few,
27:00
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
six, seven months.
27:00
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Then when I was in school,
27:01
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I started making friends.
27:03
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Oh, good.
27:04
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And then,
27:06
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
you know,
27:07
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
working hard hours here and there,
27:09
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
jobs,
27:10
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
part -time jobs in coffee shop and everything else.
27:13
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I met three people there.
27:14
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
So that's how I learned as a kid.
27:15
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
And educated,
27:18
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
just focusing more.
27:20
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
Somehow after I came here,
27:22
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I became more focused.
27:23
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
Oh,
27:23
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
yeah. Probably because you were excited.
27:27
S… Speaker 1 (Anil Mic B)
I was excited and knowing that this is an opportunity.
27:40
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
So when you went to school,
27:42

28:36
S… Speaker 2 (Anil Mic B)
