Podcast Overview

Life is a beautiful mess when you’re a mom of two, juggling sippy cups, code reviews, and cardio—all while adjusting to life between Chennai and Melbourne. Join Preethi, a full-time developer, part-time fitness warrior, and forever full-time amma, as she hilariously navigates motherhood, work-life chaos, and a social circle that mostly includes her husband (and sometimes the friendly barista). In each episode, she shares her porattam (struggles) in a light-hearted way—whether it's managing Zoom meetings with a toddler on her lap, decoding school lunchbox drama, or trying (and failing) to find

Food Polambalgal

<p><strong>“Food Polambalgal”</strong> Ever tried to make upma and ended up with edible cement? Struggled flipping dosais that defy gravity? In this episode of Food Polambalgal, I vent the daily chaos of South Indian cooking — the burns, the lumps, the never-ending kitchen clean-ups — all served with a side of gratitude.</p><p>But this isn’t just about culinary blunders. It’s a heartfelt reflection on privilege: being able to grumble about imperfect idlis while knowing millions can’t afford a single meal. I share my attempt to bridge that gap — creating an app that could tackle food insecurity and offer support to those in need. Spoiler: dreams collided with reality. Funding and time were tighter than maavu in a broken grinder.</p><p>Through burnt pans and broken plans, this episode is a reminder to be grateful for what’s on our plate and to share with those who don’t have one. Tune in for equal parts laughter, empathy, and a small dose of hope. 🍽️💬</p><p><br></p><p></p>
