The poems emerged , while I was working on a
chapter - EGO , for my new book. The moot question was , what is ego? Is ego my
identity ? Who am I ? While going deeper on the subject, I realised that there
is a far more powerful force , part of me , working inside me , working on my
body and mind . Is it real "ego
Since its unknown force - I named it "you" . The
following poems are to explore "I" and "you" ... read it, enjoy it and give me
your feedback
