Foreign Polambalgal

In this episode, Preethi takes you on her desperate (and slightly dramatic) mission to spot another Tamil soul in the wild streets of Melbourne—whether it's someone saying "vanakkam" at Coles or playing Ilaiyaraaja in the parking lot. All she wants is one good Thamizh friend to share filter coffee and complaints with!But there’s a twist—her ever-logical husband keeps whispering, “Please da, respect their privacy, don’t randomly wave at strangers just because they look Tamil!” 😅Preethi opens up (with her usual humour) about how moving abroad completely flipped her social life—no impromptu terrace chats, no kuthu dance at weddings, and definitely no “enga veetu suvai” in daily life. Just cold weather, colder interactions, and Google Maps as her closest companion.If you’ve ever tried to find your people in a foreign land (and almost scared them off in the process), this episode will have you laughing, nodding, and possibly waving at strangers too.
