How to meet desi couples/friends?

Hi, this is a serious issue for me and I would honestly appreciate some tried and tested responses.

I moved to the U.S after getting married about 7 months ago. I do have some immediate family here and some family from my husband’s side. We socialize with them as often as we can, but the problem is that our family is much older than us, and the couples that we have been introduced to through them are also older (and I mean folks who have college/uni. bound kids). My hubby has been here for 7 years, but due to his non-stop education and work, he has hardly ever made the effort to mingle with the younger desi generation. All of his friends are gorey and although I don’t mind meeting with them for a movie once in a while, I just can’t seem to mingle intimately with them or their spouses. I’m looking for desi couples, who may be in the age group of 25±35+. Like minded people we can hangout with, have over for tea or dinner, and share similar talks with.

Have any of you been in a similar position? And if yes, how did you manage to meet other desi friends?

Thanks

Go to desi events and gatherings aggressively! Best place is masjid.
