Hi all,

I am nalini , new member to this board . I have a 18 months old boy , my problem is that , most of the time at home im not dng anything , just sit at one place and surf net , watch movie , feed my son , play for a while with him and after 6 i will prepare dinner that also done by 7pm , so after that i will chat with my hubby . I feel bad wasting all the time .

I have a Masters in Information Technology , but due to Visa prob , i cannot work also ( im on H4). and im new to USA ( came here a year ago) , so no friends or relatives and i dnt drive here . Im the only child for my parents , so from small my mom never ask me to do any works , so maybe that cud be the answer for my laziness:) when i was with parents i used to get up at 12 noon :)(of course in the weekends and holidays) they never ask me to wake up earlier , but now im getting at 7.30am that' s also because of my son :) . I really want to do something daily , but no ideas .

Does anyone work from home ? I really need some suggestion , is there any courses that i can do from home . Pls advice me .

Regards,
Nalini bee replied. The first thing you need to do is start drving.no matter where you @ in usa driving is must,do that & all your prob will be solved. Lakshmi replied. You cannot work from home through H4.
So I cnanot help that way.
But even if you are at home , you donot need to waste time in chatting ..
There are so many good ways.
If you are interested please email me
lakshmi_latest at yahoo. I can surely help you with something. I am in USA. Virginia VA. I love to help people s replied. everyone who goes to a new place faces all this..initially. U have to make your efforts to meet people. pappukangi is right try going to the park it will b great fun for ur son too.and if u see indians around you .. u take the first step to talk thats how ull make friends.. and mebbe in another 6 months u would put ur son to school so it will b more easier.
mebbe after you know peple around u.. mebbe two friends can start doing some classes for kids or anything that intrest you.. or just try and do some house work by urself.
Pappukangi replied. Nalini,

I don’t know what kind of problem you are facing, but there is nothing like “work from home” If I am not wrong you are getting home sickness. I don’t know where you are in USA but go visit mall or park during day/evening time. You will find lot of South Asian people in mall or park. Make friends be in touch through phone or email.

Being on H4 you legally can not work here. If you really want to work, look for a job and get H1B visa. I am not sure if that is possible or not. But try to get out of the house and interact with people.

Good luck
