It’s Shyam’s first podcast! Shyam is joined by the woman with the most infectious smile (if this wasn’t a podcast, I am sure you would agree) …. Jigisha Patel! More endearingly known by our circle of family friends as Jigi aunty. Jigi aunty explains to Shyam what it was like for her growing up in Gujarat in a loving home and the Hindu cultural traditions that she would enjoy with her community. Jigi aunty also tells Shyam about how one seemingly innocent trip to the UK, to help her sister out in her shop for a few months, resulted in her settling in sunny Crawley where she has since built a joyous life for herself.
