    Moved to US in June '14 with my husband. Being on H4 feels like a curse after having worked in India for around 4 years.
    Like most other IT couples, we moved onsite considering it as a great career opportunity. It's been 2 months now and I'm bored to death doing simply nothing. Tried killing time cooking and watching movies but I miss hanging out with friends exploring new places more than anything.
    I heard there are lot of Indians in Edison, but honestly it's so dull out here. We feel left out even more as we don't have kids yet and most families catch up as parents.
    And then, came across this portal and I'm sure there would be someone who can relate with me here. Would love to hear from you all, my fellow Indian H4 ladies who wants to make new friends and have some fun :)

    I understand your concern, as I used to be a Bank Manager in India when I migrated in 1997 as an H4 accompanying my hubby.


    In fact, I used to have work as worship and my friends were ONLY work collegues...


    Based upon my experience, here are some tips.


    1. Go to Library and I am sure you will make friends.
    2. You can volunteer in temples.
    3. You be the change you want to see. Just create one friend, and form a group.
    4. It starts with one step. Think one person at a time with whom your chemistry matches, move on.
    5. Gym is a nice place to make friends.
    It feels like a Herculean task, trust me, in your next post you will start guiding..


    Remove your self limiting statement from your vocabulary:
    1. I heard there are lot of Indians in Edison, but honestly it's so dull out here
    2. We feel left out even more as we don't have kids yet and most families catch up as parents.


    Your sub conscious mind will work for you provided you program it consciously with empowering questions. Ask yourself the following empowering question..
    1. How can I use my unique personality to make friends by being my authentic self, instead of thinking that it is dull here?


    2. How Can I use my time and resources effectively that I have NOW before I get busy when my baby arrives?


    Did you see, how asking empowering questions, puts you in drivers seat?


    Take it seriously and answer your questions below and we all can help and make a group..Bingo!

    All the best!
