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.

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.

In the first episode of “Stitching hearts in summer”, Himangi reads some of her favorite works right now and fumbles a lot. She also introduces herself, this podcast and her ideas not – so- flawlessly. She also gives (something special) towards the end of this episode. (NO, that is not clout).
