In today’s episode, I sat down with Amy Zimmerman, an American woman, married to an Indian man.

She shares with us her experiences of moving from the USA to India.

We discuss the cultural differences in family life, relationships, and the challenges she faced in adapting to a new environment. She highlights the importance of family culture, the dynamics of her marriage to an Indian man, and the warmth and generosity she encountered in Indian society.
