In You....

In you I've found a reason,
A reason to look ahead...
In you I see my eyes,
Craving for a tear to shed..

In you I've found a sparkle,
A sparkle that relit the fire...
In you I see that drive,
To achieve what I most desire...

In you I see the strength,
and the will to carry on...
In you I try and find,
The purpose for which I was born....

In you I see the license,
Of a bird let free...
In you I'd like to be,
what I dont see in me....

In you I see hope,
Hope of a better tomorrow...
In you I see that life,
A life devoid of sorrow...

In - who who do you see this? Ahem!

Neat one dude, but, do you actually think any life is devoid of sorrow? Or, do we just appreciate poetry & flow of thought here?

welll..for who !!!! ahem ahem...im saying it too...

as for a life devoid of sorrow..comes down 2 things again..one of it goes back to our night at mumbai - "perception" !!! n the other ofcourse is what u define sorrow for urself to be !!! btw...to know that..watch this space...its coming up...
nice publicity stunt eh !!! im really pushing my blog into the market now..do u see some results !!!

Shall we tell Aparna in WHO do u see this??? ;-) A life devoid of sorrow is only relative...so in a way its possible I think...at least thats the hope we carry..and thats the inspiration you are getting from the YOU, you are talking about...

"The path to happiness is so narrow..that two cannot walk on it without becoming one"...so make sure you become one with your YOU if you want a life devoid of sorrow and filled with all that you have mentioned your YOU brings to you...!
Btw thanks..and you know for what!

I didn't comment on the beauty of the verse..and I'd like to say its really meaningful...technically the flow and rhyming is perfect...one of your best pieces I must say...and not coz of any ulterior reasons :-) ..i really liked the way you've expressed yourself here and the person you are relating to....

@ tiny...
now the critic inside of u is talking eh ! thanks madamme.....credits accepted (applause all round !) (am i putting too much hype on this now!!!)

APUGONNAB said...

am i missing something? Is Tiny who I think it is? Is someone gonna tell me something here?? Before, I open my mouth and ask questions, and name a few people?

AJ{ax} said...

well sister...the explanation will come your way...but not on a public forum as this one !! and what ur thinking is right if i can guess what u are thinking afterall...going by the genepool we come from..it cant be entirely different can it !

Unknown said...

i think all of us are in search of that 'YOU'. If ur search is over CONGRATS dude.......if not then the search continues.But I guess it is perrenial and life is all about discovering that 'YOU'.

AJ{ax} said...

@ Eeman...

Are you sure life is all about discovering the YOU...what happens once the discovery is over !!! Where then do you bring the thrill in from !!!

And hello...

Anonymous said...

No no no no no...You are getting it all mixed up, Ms. Basu and Mr. Simha...

The question is who is 'YOU'? But I think the more important question is who is the REAL 'YOU'? The real YOU is youself. Life, more than anything else, is a journey, in search of this real 'YOU'. The journey can be happy, and sometimes very painful. The more you discover, the more there is to discover...so, its a never-ending quest...beasue it feeds on its own fuel!!

And BTW....Long time no see. How about getting together (@Eeman: for a ff) sometime soon ?? Wats say?

AJ{ax} said...

@ R
I would differ in this respect. For me, the punch word is EVOLUTION. It's not so much about discovery as it is about Evolution. Every human being goes through an evolution during his tenure on this planet. The idea is to analyze where it is happening, and maybe guide it in a way that would help you. This differs from your angle in the respect that when the change happens, or rather when something new happens, it's not so much of a discovery as much as it is to the process of evolution, and of the fact that the person in question, guided the path to that change or the new event !!

Well, as for meeting...I'm still saying it..New years in Bangalore !!! Ms. Basu - are you listening !!!

CandidConfessions said...

I love the optimism!! I wish it was so easy for me too to be so hopeful!!

AJ{ax} said...

@ Candid Confessions....

it revolves around HOPE !!! it's one of the main causes of life....the HOPE of love...the HOPE of a future..a bright one at that..
as goes the saying...so long as HOPE floats...so shall YOU !!!

CandidConfessions said...

Sure thing! So much for HOPE!

Anonymous said...

Sweet! But who is this "YOU" ?

AJ{ax} said...

Aren't we all on the search for the YOU !!!

Vibha said...

aahaaa!! the discussion over this verse is as amazing as the verse itself!! well...Ajay..we have spoken about this in person..but still I write..it is a beautiful piece indeed...The search of u is eternal...casue it;s the search of 'me'....seeing 'me' in 'you'r eyes...knowingly..unknowingly...else why would we all search for the 'you' when we have already found them in the usual sense of the term? [have i complicated it?]..:):)

@ vibha...
