People need to be related to each other.
It starts from family members in our childhood (like baby being closed to parents) and when you move further you feel comfortable to have someone from your neighbor to be your class fellow at school.
People keep on searching for people who have something common with them. Same race, same language, same country, etc.
I hope most of members living abroad have good relationship with Indian people who can share same food and language Punjabi, Hindi / Urdu.
Do you look for such similarities? Any experience and story you want to share when you felt relaxed to find someone with something common at some strange place.
Or you are okay and it doesn’t matter. You can live without talking your mother tongue to someone, not having cuisine from your origin, etc for ages?
