Hello Mr. Nair..
First of all, its really good to see that you are concerned about being impressive and behaving well when it comes to maintain your in-laws relations..

This is very rare on the male side... but hats off to you..

Anyways, coming to the answer for your query, I would say, there is nothing that you have to do special when it comes to being a good son in law... the only thing that u need to maintain and make sure is.. you must think and behave with your in-laws as if there are your own real parents... respect and care for them as you would have done for your own parents..

Give them the same love and affectionate and make sure to them, that you wil always maintain the unity and peace with love and care in this delicate relationship of marriage with their daughter that means your wife...

If this is what you take care about, I dont think you wil have to do anything additional in order to be a good son in-law..

Though this sounds very easy, but till the time I have seen, there are very less males who maintain good relations with their in - laws, especially in india..

And this is a very wrong practice.. Which educated people like us should remove and maintain good and healthy relations with everyone..

Regards

What makes a perfect son-in-law? Perhaps the way you treat you in-laws. Here are some ideas to be an apple of an eye of your in-laws. Though this sounds as an overstatement, you will believe it after trying out a few of these tricks to impress your in-laws.

* Invite your in-laws once in a while for lunch or dinner at your place. Make sure to serve at least one food preparation cooked by you

* Call your in-laws just to wish them a good day

* Visit your in-laws without any occasion just to spend time with them

* Gauge the interests of your in-laws and surprise them with unusual gifts. You can gift you mother-in-law a recipe book

* Make occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, mother's days and father's days special for your in-laws. Why not to wish your father-in-law too a happy father's day?

* take your mother-in-law to visit a temple, if she is highly religious

* Brag a little about your wife in front of your in-laws. They will surely be happy to have a son-in-law like you

Do your in-laws consider you more a son and less as a son-in-law? You must be analyzing your relation with your in-laws. If you do not get along with your in-laws, do not lose hope. Take a first step to improve your relationship with them. It is not that hard. If you share good relations with your in-laws, it is well and good. Be creative and brainstorm to come up with ideas to impress your in-laws.
