Episode 8: The One That Took Ages.

Sari, Not Sorry!

#Society #The Kanani sisters

51:57

On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices…

In this episode, Sheila and Nikita reflect on their recent cruise – with a heavy focus on the food.

From endless buffets to formal dinners, they share what they loved, what they avoided, and how constantly full they felt

There’s plenty of commentary on cruise dining culture, how it felt to indulge (or overindulge), and the odd surprises along the way.

Note: this one took a little longer to get uploaded – life’s been busy and they’ve both been knackered.

Send us a text Butterflies, Ballgowns & Being a Man In this episode, we catch up after Mum’s operation and dive into everything from Met Gala fashion to the hidden stories in our wardrobes—including the brilliant period outfit posts from Dr Nighat Arif. We reflect on the pain carried across generations—both physical and emotional—through the lens of endometriosis (with a shoutout to Rageshri Dhariyawan’s powerful book), adenomyosis (via Naga Munchetty’s story), and the quiet strength so many women hold. Plus: what would our superpower be for a day? And why would Sheila choose to be a man? Oh—and we make butterflies, literally and metaphorically.…

Send us a text Episode 10: Clean Sheila, Lost Nikki We start this episode in classic chaos - with microphone issues and the question: do you really take meetings in the car? Sheila’s looking suspiciously clean, Nikki’s struggling with geography (again), and we’re both dodging unread WhatsApp messages. From planning school holiday logistics to debating when a podcast season should end, we get into the rhythm of daily life - shoe polish, trainers, Easter cards, and household admin. Sheila’s shredding bread, Nikki’s daughter is making ghee with mum, and we swap tips on railcards and perimenopause. It’s a warm, messy, honest episode - part confessional, part coping strategy, always us.…

Send us a text Episode 9: It’s a Cat Circus In this lively episode, we catch up on life with our cats causing chaos, a trip to the circus under the first warm sunshine of the year, and the whirlwind of Mother’s Day celebrations. We talk about that feeling of being busy busy busy and somehow still squeezing in some laughs – including a night out at a Paul Chowdhry comedy show that felt hilariously familiar. #PodcastLife #CatsOfPodcast #CircusFun #MothersDay #SpringVibes #BusyLife #ComedyNight #PaulChowdhry #LaughOutLoud #WarmWeatherFeels #LifeLately #WeekendVibes #RelatableComedy #PodcastEpisode9 #CatChaos…

Send us a text Episode 7: Curls, Clutter & Conversations in Gujarati This week, we’re deep in the routines—curl care, faith, and the fine art of decluttering (both spaces and minds). There’s a bit of nostalgia, a lot of Gujarati, and, shockingly, not much food chat. How did that even happen? We’re just as surprised as you are. Tune in for a mix of reflection, laughter, and the occasional existential crisis over hair products.…

Send us a text Episode 6 - The One Where We All Cry In this episode, we explore the deep connections between tradition, loss, health, and food and yes, we both shed a few tears along the way. Through personal stories and shared experiences, we dive into the ways grief, resilience, and community shape our lives, especially as women. With a gentle trigger warning : this episode touches on themes of loss, family, and healing, and there are a few explicit words along the way. We talk about the rituals that keep us connected across generations, from the foods that comfort us to the traditions that anchor us in difficult times. This conversation is raw, heartfelt, and filled with warmth, because sometimes, tears are just part of the process. Let’s sit with it together.…

Send us a text We’re back, a little tired, a little grumpy, and very much in the mood to share our thoughts on everything from bike rides to bizarre beauty hacks. In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane to the Science Museum, question the effectiveness of Frownies (do they actually work, or are we just sticking paper to our faces?), and give some well-deserved shoutouts. Things get personal as we talk about cycles, both the ones on the road and the ones our bodies go through, before diving into a surprisingly passionate debate: dental toe or tongue scraper? (Trust us, it’s a conversation you didn’t know you needed.) And to top it all off, we reminisce about the simple childhood joy of licking the bowl, because some habits never die. Join us for another round of sisterly chaos, mildly unhinged discussions, and the kind of honesty that only comes from being overtired.…
