"Charge Sheet" is a translation of Mu. Metha's Tamil Poem "Kutrap Pattrikkai" by Dr R.David Raja Bose.
The Poem is written in a freestyle. This Poem is about the broken heart of an adult in his love life. The poem is set in a village background.
At night the whole village is asleep but the narrator can't sleep because of his lover memories. He lay down to sleep by locking all the doors and windows in his home but still her memories entering and kicking his heart. He compares this to Kampar Epic. In Kamba Ramayanam, Rama killed Vali. Like that narrator's lover memories killing his adulthood. He waits in the ration shop where his lover works, she used to send him back by saying "no stock" so that they can meet daily. They love each other and interchange gifts like flowers, kerchief, pen, smiles. He compared his love to a toy in the hands of children. Stay with my love in your hands like children stays with their toy. You can play with my love or roll it but don't break it. But now she left him. When she leaves him, he completely burnt their love letters. Finally, he says, "You left me, you spoilt me by giving an excess of love. This is my Grief".
