PGP has an anonymous Persian Girl come on to discuss the experience of marrying an Indian man. "Niloofar" talks about how she met her fiance and the way her parents have received the Indian culture, getting complaints that she's "too into" the Indian culture, how it's easier as a Persian American to receive an American into their culture as opposed to another rich culture, the way in which not being surrounded by other Persians influenced her conception and relationship towards it. She also shares what her engagement party in Mumbai was like, how she's teaching her parents by leading by example instead of "gar"ing with them every time they clash, and what her Persian-Indian wedding ceremony will encompass.
