Explore which you wanted to do life long and never got time. I wanted to read ,listen and understand bagavad geetha from a long time ..( may be from my childhood when I heard my grandma chanting the slokas but never got a chance for it !!)

I started hearing translation of bagvad geetha ,ramayanam , bagavatham .. all those epic's translation . There were many available in net. After so much R&D got one which I am able to understand and felt interesting .I felt like hearing moral stories because it was explained in such a simple language and facts about life. Still I do that . I really enjoy that. It helps me to be more practical and peaceful ...
Second thing cooking . I tired south Indian, north Indian, Mexican , Italian, indo-chinese all kind of cooking and taking pics. Me and my hubby both are foodies so enjoyed it much ..
Third jewelry making . Made ear rings which I could use on a daily basis. productive way of craft work !!
DIY projects to decorate homes. I got so many compliments for the way I have kept my home from friends or whoever visits.
Gardening . I love gardening . Tried so many different vegetables and flowers. I did everything in my balcony on pots. I used to give vegetables to my friends. My friends started giving me plants as gift on poojas and festivals . (watering , nurturing , cleaning, talking to them, over all learning about them. They were like kids to me . Every time I see a new flower and vegetable bud it gives me immense happiness
NGOs .volunteering in different NGOs , it gave me new friends . Felt happy I am able to give something back to the society I am living in.
Learn different languages . I didn't achieve it much though . Learning Sanskrit is my dream .Still it's a dream only learning Spanish too. I felt Spanish will be handy in this country.

Must do
Learning driving . which I am working on !!
Keeping fit .( gym,zumba, some exercise activities )
Below is a advice I got from one of my elder friend (who have been in this country for a long time and now holds a citizenship . Not sure if I should share it or not . If you didn't like just ignore)
If you are on H4 or L2 get a EAD and try to get a job. -extra money always helps!
If you are just married then travelling and enjoying the time of togetherness and make your marriage strong . Take time to understand each other. Add more beautiful memories .
If you have been married for 2-4 years time to think for a baby. Who add more color to your life and keep you busy . End of the day time doesn't wait for anybody and time is money . Use it in a productive way . In short get a clarity o life ,where it taking you. When you have a aim you have something to work on. . These made me think !! .

Hi,
I am sharing a few basic details of couponing. Before coupons, you should first look at the weekly ad of the stores where you buy most goods. When you combine weekly ad sale price with coupons, you can save big. There are 3 types of coupons for any product(grocery, cleaning supplies, personal care etc). Coupons are available for Milk, Eggs, Bread also. Coupons are accepted at dollar stores too.

I have uploaded more details in the file.
Hope you could start with this.

If you are interested then lets start a separate thread for this.

Can you please start a thread on this couponing? And discounts @kalainat ...
It will be helpful for families with single breadwinners.
Sorry for deviation...

If you like to meet people, join a dance class, pattu class, Indian Association, or volunteer. If you like to do things at home, blog, vlog, or write reviews (like influenster). You could also take online classes, which are mostly free.

I like organizing my closet, on my phone using an app called Smart Closet (iOS). It's a little time-consuming, but it's nice to put outfits together.

Great activities! Dance classes are very useful and stimulating, blogging is great, vlogging is even better ( just requires a good camera and microphones 5 of The Best Vlogging Microphone 2017 - Best of Gears ), there are tonns of decent free online courses, agree.
