I swear, you are destined for the stars

albeit I see unevenly

my face is bigger than my body

and my forehead twice the size of mars

I swear, you are destined for the stars

even if it's true

that my ears are inadequate for two

and my fingers can't open huge jars

I swear, you are destined for the stars

so what if there's no place for the skies

between my thighs

and my chest wears growing scars

I swear, you are destined for the stars

who cares if my fears are not near reason

or if my sense organs are out of proportion

the world is ours

I swear, you are destined for the stars

I used to believe I was a storyteller.

Once upon a time, there stood

a mad little meek child, under

grey clouds and a raincoat hood.

I used to believe I was a poet.

With an incohesive rhyme scheme

in my back pocket, words 'ink' and 'me' and

'love' and 'dream' in every verse to show it.

I wrote a letter to you today. I talked of the clouded sun on your face and how you're one call away but I truly believe you're farther than you seem I hate it when I'm rambling It's why I don't read what I write Did I

Did I tell you what I wanted to? ah. back to-

the story, yes- of the steady paced waters of June

years later, falling onto

my black chappals - shoes -

they don't dirty my feet like my

favourite pink & blue disney slip - ons

mom warned me against

but, I believed I was a rebel

Since the first time I peed in bed

the story - of every June smelling different

as another secret travels

from the back of my neck

to the end of my nostrils

from where it goes upwards

to right between my eyebrows

it comes out as the fourth pimple

on my temple. I burst it and cry

Hence, I believe June is rotten

I'll try believing in July.

(filler ep)

A year- end unplanned episode full of life updates and new poems. Happy new year!

In this episode, Himangi introduces her collection of poetry called “parts of the brain” and talks about the writing processes, aspirations and inspirations behind the making of the anthology.

The title sounds a lot like a song, and I like it. In this episode, Himangi reads a few poems and is then joined by Dhruvi Hate, and they talk about movie adaptations - the ones they loved, and the ones they didn't.

(hopefully) a series of short poems read by a more confident and experienced Himangi, along with an introduction to DUSK.

A few of Himangi’s poems she wrote over the past two months. Hope you like it!

(special episode)

Another collection of Himangi's short poems with a hint of slight possible cringe. Hope you like it!
