X-page chargesheet

It started with Ajmal Kasab, now it's Shiney Ahuja. Today's headline on IBN:


What is this obsession of with the number of pages in a chargesheet? Does it really matter?!

This is like our Profs asking us to write a 10-page report on a topic. Is the number of pages or what's in it that matter?!

A Revolution

What's the meaning of this word?
In a dictionary I can find.
What's the meaning of this film?
From the critics I can deduce.
What's the meaning of this poem?
In the poet's history I can learn.
What about life?
Where can I find the meaning of life?
In the scriptures some say.
No. It is not there I can attest.
In it, I saw an equally confused man
Posing question after question
Answer, he has none.

Does the creator have the answer?
None, I feel.
The thinker disagrees,
yet, creation was a mere flip of a dice
To me it seems.
Round and round it goes,
Various facets it reveals over time
Only to disappear and reappear later,
Again and again in random fashion.

Randomness and repetitiveness
We see in history.
Round and round we go.
From the most elementary part within us,
To the heavens at unfathomable distance.
'round the clock,
From east to west,
'round the Sun.
Left to right and back,
The One to None and back.

What's the meaning of life?
The answer, no doubt,
would be Revolutionary.
