Welcome to my blog
Hi, I’m Devika and I’m so glad you’re here. This blog is my space to share thoughts, feelings, moments, and everything in between. If you’re figuring life out too, I hope something here speaks to you. We’re all just stories in progress. Thanks for being part of mine.

Adventure awaits
I too sat down, laying the spear between us, and tried to explain how I came to Pellucidar, and wherefrom, but it was as impossible for him to grasp or believe the strange tale I told him as I fear it is for you upon the outer crust to believe in the existence of the…

My coffee ritual
I too sat down, laying the spear between us, and tried to explain how I came to Pellucidar, and wherefrom, but it was as impossible for him to grasp or believe the strange tale I told him as I fear it is for you upon the outer crust to believe in the existence of the…

Everyone Is a Little Bit Weird Until You Get to Know Them
I think first impressions are a little unfair. You meet someone for the first time, spend approximately twelve minutes in their presence, and somehow come away with a whole personality profile. They’re quiet, so you assume they’re shy. They’re talkative, so you assume they’re outgoing. They don’t say much in a group, so you decide…

The Things I Romanticise vs. The Things I Actually Enjoy
I have a whole version of my life that exists only in my head. In it, I wake up at 6 a.m. without an alarm, make coffee in a ceramic mug, write in a leather journal while golden light falls across the desk, and go for a run that leaves me glowing instead of wheezing.…

What Happens When You Stop Trying to Be Understandable to Everyone
For years I edited myself before I even opened my mouth. I’d read the room, guess what version of me it wanted, and hand that one over. With one group I was the funny one. With another, the quiet and sensible one. With family, the easy one who never caused trouble. I thought this was…

My Current Personality Is Just a Series of Unfinished Plans
If you looked at my life from the outside, you’d think I was a very ambitious person. I have a half-finished playlist for a road trip I haven’t planned. A notes app full of titles with no bodies underneath them. A language app that sends me passive-aggressive reminders in the voice of a heartbroken owl.…

A Very Honest Review of My Life Lately
Overall rating: three and a half stars. Would not say I’m recommending it to a friend yet, but I’m not leaving a complaint either. There’s potential. The pacing is chaotic, the plot is unclear, and the main character makes some baffling decisions, but every so often there’s a scene that makes the whole thing worth…

Things I Never Used to Like But Have Sort of Gotten Fond Of
I need to start with a confession that would have horrified the younger me. I like cheesecake now. Genuinely, unreservedly, go-back-for-a-second-slice like it. For years I rolled my eyes at it. Too heavy, too dense, too much of a fuss over what is essentially sweet cheese. Then a few days ago I had a blueberry…

Things I Thought I’d Have Figured Out By Now
When I was a kid, I pictured the end of my teens as a kind of finish line. Not the end of anything, just the point where the shaking stops. I imagined a version of me who woke up before the alarm, knew what she wanted to become, and knew what she wanted for dinner,…
