Every expat Malayali in Middle East is familiar with the bitter sweetness of ‘Pravasam’. This short sojourn from life and its harsh realities are undertaken by each Keralite with a brave smile and a mask of determination woven from hundreds of dreams. In this tiresome journey, with loneliness and nostalgia as constant companions, a sense of togetherness as ‘Malayalis’ can be a much needed elixir to restore hopes.

In the roughly turbulent days of anxiety and separation, the early Malayali migrants found an anchor of stability and courage from daily friendly gatherings, which gave them a semblance of closeness fueled from discussions, sharing of concerns and a sense of belonging to a family. Sadly, these gatherings are becoming rarer due to the fast paced nature of life. ‘Pravasi Junction’ is such an oasis of togetherness, which aims to bring expat Malayalis a platform where they can connect with each other both online and offline.
