Around the World with Four Samosas is a story about two men who come from different worlds, traversing their own paths until a train journey brings them together and their lives become intertwined.
Vivek, a brilliant graduate from IIT, slowly becoming disillusioned with the world and and questioning his purpose in it is given a fresh perspective by Paresh, a simple man who runs a small shop but believes that a good hot samosa can turn around even the most skeptic. Who can resist the perfect mix of potato, peas and spices, inside the warm embrace of a crisp shell, that crackles at the first bite and unleashes a medley of flavor that reaches a crescendo and makes you believe in life and humanity once again.
Vivek, who senses all this, plans to bring Paresh’s culinary gift to the world, one station, one shop, one canteen at a time and their unlikely partnership creates an enterprise of any entrepreneur’s dream.
Around the World with Four Samosas is a valuable lesson to the young minds of India that there’s a lot of talent and skill in every corner of this great nation and definition of “work” is ours to make.
