Me and Mine M Waqar Raza

The story 'Me and Mine' portrays a uniquely constructed protagonist who has gone through a drastic change in his person, but not so much in his personality. Through this character, the story identifies the self in the person and that which the self owns within the person, setting 'me' and 'mine' apart. It posits questions, never asked before, of ethical, psychological, social, legal and philosophical nature arising from the exceptional situation it thus creates. The work is an integral part of a larger study on 'Reconstruction of Human Consciousness'. The story elucidates how intensely is the protagonist aware of the question of his identity and how badly does he struggle to find out this secret. Whether he is successful in this venture is that which the story is about. It inevitably contains some technical aspects in biology and medicine, but does not particularly require from the reader any background knowledge of these fields. I hope you enjoy this unique story with all its twists and turns.
