My DH is from India as well and still gets homesick, in spite of calling his mom once a week.

Indian culture is so drastically different from american culture or even european culture. Does your town have any Indian shops? I know Indian food always makes DH feel better. You could offer to help her make an Indian dinner for your family. Maybe rent an Indian movie.

Most cities have Indian communities it's just a matter of finding one near you.

Daawat.com is also a good resource. You;ll find a lot of Indian receipes and learn more about the culture.

Hope this helps,
