From a dusty bus stop bench in Kundal - a small town in Maharashtra, India - to the Gulf Coast of Florida, Tanha is the true story of a boy who lost his first dream and built a bigger one. Indrajit Suryawanshi - Chef Inder - grew up in an army household, certain he would become a doctor. When his exam results said no, he sat on a bench with his best friend Sujit, stared at a hotel school banner that promised Opportunity to go to the USA, and made a promise of his own. He landed in Phoenix knowing almost no English. What followed was a twenty-year journey across eight cities - Phoenix, New Hampshire, Dubai, Washington D.C., St. Louis, Marco Island, Clearwater, and finally Naples. Tanha means alone. This is the honest story of the loneliness every immigrant carries - and how one chef transformed it into strength. Along the way: the kitchens that shaped him, the heartbreak that tested him, and the son he loves across a thousand miles - Avyaan, the reason for everything. Work for your dreams - or someone will make you work for theirs.
