August 2014


With limited art in herself, Devika hopes to share her mind and life with those around her and to connect with them in the best way she can- through words. With a professional specialisation in marketing and communication, her daily conversations revolve around business and culture. She is particularly keen on baking banana cakes, and literature themed around the unit of the family.

30 Day Writing Challenge

Hello Bloggers!

How have you all been?

I have been okay, for the larger part. Trying to deal with the constant humidity of monsoon, ever increasing demands of adult life, uncertainties from all spaces, and the surety of a never ending task list.

Truly surprised how a few years ago, I felt like I understood the ways of life and universe. In a humbling realization, the years pile on and I accept the la Read more of this blog post »

Devika’s Recent Updates

Devika shared a quote

“What lies beneath the surface?
Of an ocean? Life. Mystery. Fish with eyes.
Of the floor? A ceiling of a floor. Or earth that has not seen sunshine in a while.
Of the skin? Organs. Veins. Blood. Disorders.
Of the mind? Thoughts. Dreams. Wisps of memories.
Of a leaf? Cells. Sunshine. Life.
Of the sky? You. Me. And the only world we have ever known.”
Devika Todi
Devika shared a quote

“Cradles of comfort horrify me.
Yet, I am deep in its clutches. So much so that
The thought makes me uncomfortable.
Isn’t life a circle that keeps chasing itself?
Where does this sense of dissatisfaction end?”

Devika shared a quote
22344519
“Do you ever feel like a stranger to your skin?
A language feels known to the ear, but alien on the tongue?
Thoughts are shaped and reshaped in words of the colonizer.
Clothes of the other world are made to fit your size?”

“Last I remember a beat in my body
My heart felt warm
Lazy, and yellow
Maybe that was love.”
Devika Todi, Sun On My Hands: A Poetry and Prose Collection

“But maybe, I miss who I was.
The capacity I held to be myself.
Beyond the burden of years, and silent deaths of versions
That no longer hold true.”
Devika Todi

“Moments, beautiful and fleeting flowers
Bloom and go in a day.”
Devika Todi

“Cold buildings stand as we shiver within.”
Devika Todi, Dreaming in A Fish Bowl

Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

I come back to it everyday.”

Love comes in small pockets”
