"تم کو دیکھیں" ہر چرن چاولہ کا سفر نامہ پاکستان ہے۔ ہرچرن چاولہ نے اپنے اس سفر نامے میں پاکستان کے ادیبوں ،شاعروں اور فن کاروں سے ملاقاتوں کے ساتھ ادبی شعری نشستوں اور علمی مجلسوں کا ذکر اپنے مخصوص مزاج کے ساتھ کیا ہے، اس سفر نامے میں مصنف نے کہیں کہیں رپور تاژ کی صورت اختیار کی ہے تو کہیں اچھے فنکار کی طرح اپنے قلم کو برش بنالیا ہے جس کی وجہ سے جو قلمی تصویریں بنی ہیں وہ نہایت جاذب نظر آتی ہیں۔
