She can keep herself busy by :
Joining Yoga classes, Learning local dancing learning some interesting musical instruments Teaching French Clubbing, Gym Or sports etc or if.... She really can do some socially useful work then I would advise her to join a NGO and work for humanitarian causes. |

The Overseas Women's Club of Chennai is a good way to meet people for your wife. They also have committee who does charity work and they are chronically short of people. You can check out www.owcmadras.blogspot.com for more details. There is also a coffee morning for new members once a month. The next one will be on May 28th at 10 AM at Anokhi on Chamiers Road.

Your wife might find that simply setting up house - keeping the utilities going, getting internet, phone, TV, etc. - takes a lot more time than it does in a first-world country. It took several months before I felt like I had time for volunteering.
