In the summer of 2000, Anil had an internship at TRW in Redondo Beach, California. Anil invited my cousins Suresh and Sudheendra, our friend Sam and I to visit. We all had a blast cruising through the beaches: Redondo, Venice, Manhattan, Hermosa, Long Beach, and also touring Santa Monica, and Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. The trip made me realize that California is the place for me!

| Interning at TRW has its fringe benefits: in addition to this cherry red Pontiac Firebird convertible rental, Anil also had a very nice apartment with tennis courts, a gym, and maid service- all courtesy of TRW! |
