" Identity is not the face,
Identity is not the trait,
Neither is it the success pace,
Nor is it the personality grace.
Let alone it being your cliché phrase,
Or did you think,
It’s some religious faith?
My child, it’s alarming that it’s none,
It’s even not tongue,
Then how can it be, what problems you have overcome
And the person you have become!

This confused the little girl,
and she was amidst a complex whirl,
of thoughts, ideas and questions….

What is it then, Father?
You have declined already,
all that mattered.
I can think no more,
of what makes an individual’s identity?
Help me through, Help me carefully.
(Poem: Identity, Book: Ginger and Honey) "
