Devis & Divas: Immortal Tales, Timeless Journeys

by Tripti Sharan

They are modern women, but their stories are eternal. Sita, Parvati, Ahalya and Radha have fought extraordinary battles to live ordinary lives. One day they meet over lunch and bare their souls to each other. What unfolds is their intriguing journey, their tryst with destiny. The secret longings, their unfulfilled cravings, the joys and pain, their loss and what they eventually gained. It’s their perspective, it’s their voice. A woman’s struggle is timeless and endless. They change names, wear different garbs but the context remains the same. Each one of them is a revelation and a celebration of a power that can be dented but never broken, a power that comes from being a woman.

Devis & Divas by Tripti Sharan hints at mythological depth but instead offers modern-day retellings loosely inspired by figures like Sita, Parvati, Ahalya, and Radha. Narrated through a contemporary lens, the stories echo everyday experiences, familiar yet earnest. While the names evoke mythic resonance, they don't expand legacy or provoke new insight. It’s a presentation of age-old dynamics, but readers seeking layered reinterpretation might find the stories more familiar than groundbreaking.
