Request to Eradicate the Fault in the Judgement

To
The Hon’ble Commisioner;
 Odisha Information Commission;
Toshali Plaza,Bhubaneswar; Odisha.
(Sub- Entreaty to Direct The First Appellate Authority to Execute the Order)
Sir,
     Submissively, I bow before  the erudite personality  you bear and very earnestly make an emotional request to cast off my private suffering.
    That, the Hon’ble Commission clearly knows that in most of the cases, the PIO’s are subordinate employees  of their organisations and the First Appellate Authorities happen to be the heads of the same. Apart from the cases, where the PIO’s without any obstruction yield up the official information to the Appellants, there are a lot of hindrances in the other—especially  the compulsions are created  by the head of the organisations to debar them from disclosing  the facts. This impedes the legal process and the PIO’s get punished and the real culprits remain in the shadow.
     Esteemed Sir! I do not know what jurisprudence says but feel a prick of the conscience to say; where the “Appeal for Information” leads to be an “imbroglio” the First Appellate Authority   and head happens to be one person and a party to the complain/Appeal/Second Appeal[i]; he should either be punished or directly directed to execute the “decision” of the OIC. As in my case; as the PIO (viz. SA 164 /2013) I oblige the principal and executing his verbal order  I suffer and thrusting the onus on my shoulder he escapes.
     Sir; the Appelant; Mr. Pratap Kumar Jena; At- Rekutia P.O- Kochianandi Via- Kushaleswar Dist- Keonjhar applied for some information  on 03-10-2012 and even though Mr Sudhakar Jena ; Lect.  in Math.  was the PIO  then and was too trained for the same by the government of Odisha; I do not know why the day before the penultimate day of giving him the information the Principal appointed me as the PIO on 01-11-2012--the 30 days time period allotted by the RTI to supply the required information was to expire on 3-11-2012--  and handed over his RTI application on the next day to supply him the same as per his dictation. Mr Sudhkar Jena was still there continuing as a lecturer. However, I didn’t find sufficient time to go through everything and maintain all paraphernalia. As a subordinate staff I found no other way but obliged him.
     However, the appellant went to the Hon’ble OIC and your generous self has given the decision as laid down in the Letter No 380 dt 06-01-2014 of the Asst Law officer with reference to the SA164/2013.
     Feeling all such extraneous compulsions and the fear of retarding  the legal process; I resigned as PIO  on 12-01-2014 and just after getting Commissioner’s decision from the Postman I handed over the same to the Principal on 16 -11-2014. On 25-01-2014, I again warned the esteemed principal through an Email to take necessary steps for its execution. He verbally assured me to cooperate properly and to accept the resignation just after the completion of the process.
     Accordingly letters were despatched to different sections to keep the records ready for the exposure and submission to the Appellant on 03-02-2014. The Appellant too was requested to come to  the office on the appointed day.
     After reading the decision of the Hon’ble Commission thoroughly, a select committee under the Chairmanship of the Principal decided to allow him to inspect the document alone. My letter to Mr Pratap Kumar Jena ( Letter No 50-RTI-2014) bears the language of the committee.
     However, at 12.25 PM on 03-02-2014 Mr Pratap Kumar Jena arrived in the College office with an Advocate and wanted to inspect the documents jointly. I did seek for the permission of the First Appellate Authority and Principal verbally and he instantly allowed me to allow them. They were allowed then.
      The process of inspection was running smoothly but after 20 minutes; the Hon’ble  Principal ordered me not to allow the advocate but to the allow the Appellant only. I politely obliged the Hon’ble Principal but with feeble grumbling against his inconsistency. However I requested him to give it in writing and he did it too. The development later has been conveyed to you in the Letter No 70-RTI-2014 dt 03-02-2014 through Email followed by speed post.
    I cannot stand with all these extraneous pressure and the traumatic pain caused in the circumstance. Hope your generous self would accede to the Second Para of this application and oblige.  

Yours faithfully

                                                                Jealousy
The wind is heavy or hot –it hurts me a lot.I fail to inhell.The tired bird is unable to fly in the sky.i am extremely worried –for nothing I feel a sense of insecurity and gasping pain for no cause  or a cause that has no meaning for others.i found  a very close girl coming with a driver in a motor bike  and again in the same bike with the same boy of much below  her standard in the evening.She was extremely pleasant and very happy with the boy –probably a new bent of mind for which both of them are taking  much care of each other.I feel you cannot pull a  man beyond her standard if she does not deserve it.It is Sasmita coming with Naran.14-02-2013

I had a goodwill relationship with a GIRL whom I have been thinking a daughter to me and living on her affection.I do not know why her lover took it otherwise and made her promise not to talk with me which makes me so depressed  that I get unbearable pain.My heart aches and  too my mind becomes numb.I feel as if I am going to die soon.What should I do to survive.such a simple cause becomes the cause of a large pain which pulls me to the  oblivion.I think it would be extremely difficult for any man to bear the pain of a loss of any love whatsoever.

Harassed and puzzled.Life is so.We greatly compromise for our living.I never had done it earlier.Should I better die than doing all these ugly things.I am in the college where I serve.+2 exam is continuing and Eng is the subject in Science stream.Everybody is busy in helping the students except me.I am rather misbehaved and prefer to die than doing all these.

Fresh as a Rose in June: English Romanticism and Wordsworth

Romanticism is not essentially an idea but an historic centre of
gravity which falls in between 1790-1830;Northrop Frye feels and so
also the readers.Whereas,Lovejoy sees romanticism as a general term
for a range of related ideas: poetic,philosophic and social.His
refuters would lay more stress on the characteristic images which
haunt for the romantic imagination.But the central distinctive
feature of the romantic mode is the search for the reconciliation
between inner vision and outer experience expressed through a creative
power greater than his own,because it includes his own or the
synthetic imagination which performs this reconciliation and the
vision it produces of a life drawing upon a sense of continuity
between man and nature ;of course in the presence of the Almighty God
too.But what comm denominator links Burns,Blake,Coleridge,Wordsworth,
Scott, Lander, Byron,Shelly,Keats and such lesser poets as
Southey,John Clare,Crabbe together? To search for it ,a reader has
to go into the fullest statement of the romantic creed;Biographia
Literaria (1817), Keats’Letters,Wordsworth’s Preface to the second
edition of the Lyrical Ballads and Shelly’s De-fence of Poetry along
with Hazlitt’s lectures on English poetry.it will certainly reach at
a denominator that is new and intense faith on Imagination.

The many related symptoms are familiar:the turning from reason to the
senses,feeling,imagination and intuition, from the civilized modern
and sophisticated to the primitive medieval and natural,from urban
society to the rural solitude,from preoccupation with human nature to
preoccupation with the aesthetic and spiritual values of external
nature,from mundane actuality to visions of the mysterious,the ideal
and the infinite,from satire to myth,from the expression of accepted
moral truth to the discovery of beauty that is truth, from realistic
recognition of things as they to the faith in progress,from belief in
God and evil to the belief in man and goodness,from established
religious and philosophical creed to individual speculations and
revelation from normal, generic abstractions to the variety of
concrete particulars from impersonal objectivity to subjective
vision,from public to private themes,from formal correctness to
individual expressiveness,from the ideal of order to the ideal of
intensity,from poetry to prose statements leading to image and
symbol,from poetic diction to common language,from self conscious
traditionalism to self conscious originality,from the rational
sobriety of Latin literature to Romantic Hellenism.

However,romanticism is an intellectual orientation
characterizing many works of literature,
painting,music,architecture,criticism Western civilization.It is a
rejection of the precepts of order,calm,harmony,balance,idealization
and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 19th
century Neoclassicism in particular.
This intellectual movement gained strength in reaction to the
Industrial Revolution and partly too as a revolt against aristocratic
social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment.It was a
reaction against scientific rationalization of nature as
well.However,this movement validated STRONG EMOTION as an authentic
source of aesthetic experience emphasizing intuition,imagination and
feeling caring not a little for the brand—they were accused of-as
irrationals.
Anyway while Industrial Revolution was inaugurating the romantic
movement in England the poets then estranged themselves from the
society and its abominable profile and wanted to listen to an old
Treton blowing conchs or Proteus rising and wanted to become a Pagan
to suck the mammal i from the Nature.Trying to sympathize themselves
the romanticists first found the reactionary suppression in
liberty.However,on such a ground, temperature,and atmosphere; the
germination of romanticism took place.Wordsworth and Coleridge stood
affront to hold the scepter of this culture.They were the Newtons of
this scientific pursuit and the Gandhi's to execute any such hypothesis
in the practical life of writing poetry.
In his “Preface to Lyrical Ballads” the manifesto of English
romanticism-you may call it the prospectus- Wordsworth brands his
poems as experimental ones but later it is considered the central work
of Romantic literary theory.He sees the elements of a new type of
poetry there being based on the real language of men avoiding the
poetic diction of the 18th century poetry.He also gives his famous
definition of poetry as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful
feelings,it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
Oh! yes Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge become friends and
form partnership that would change both poets’ lives and alter the
course of English poetry.They,together,break the decorum of the
Neoclassical verse.
In Lyrical Ballads (1798), which opens with Coleridge’s “The Rime
of the Ancient Mariner” and closes with Wordsworth’s “Tintern
Abbey”-the poems are dramatic in form designed to reveal the character
of the speaker have a new a style too,new vocabulary and new subject
as well.He turns not only nostalgic but also introspective
gradually.The Recluse,The Prelude and The Excursion are hued with the
romantic colour.
Wordsworth sings ,here,of “ Five years, five old summer
parted”beside a Tintern Abbey or on a very paradoxical poem” Upon the
Westminister Bridge” to abnegate the sophisticated society;its
corruption and hypocrisy.He wants to live in the bosom of Nature and
loves “a single solitary highland lass” whose mournful songs of a
distant war tunes in him and echoes in him recurrently too;he loves
the baffling daffodils against the silhouette of the verdure sky and
sings on the long drapery of grasses.Most often he is found—like a
child-he loves to live under the brotherhood of nature,under the
fatherhood of God,under the motherhood of imagination and under the
sisterhood of love.He discloses then the memories which make him a
poet in The Prelude through the growth of a poet.
Wordsworth is the gardener who not only planted the seed of
romanticism in English literature-leave apart the conditions and
situation there around-and manured to develop it along with a co
gardener Coleridge.He paved the path for others to realize its
essence.However,in this;there is the juxtaposition of deep social
consciousness and philosophical idea,inter fusion of revolutionary
spirit and struggle against this desire;and a blending of idealism and
realism.All these ingredients are all the time found in the hands of
romanticism and Wordsworth as like as the balls rotating in between
the two hands of a juggler—nowhere constant and nowhere
temporary.Wordsworth was interested in sociopolitical question for
every enigma and a solution beside it.Taking up a topical issue he
transcended it to impart it a universal meaning.It may be the problem
of technology or industrialization or the bookish knowledge of human
being.He sings:
Sweet is the love which Nature brings
Our meddling intellect
Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things
We murder to dissect.(Poetical Works)
Alas! Such a great poet whose blood is a gift of romanticism and in
whose vein this blood flows sighs and says:
The sea that bares her bosom to the moon
The winds that will be howling at all hours
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers
For this,for everything,we are out of tune
It moves us not.(Poetical Works)
Lastly,not elongate the essay more let us recollect the lines of
John Wilson;one early critic of Wordsworth:” To you,Sir< mankind are
indebted for a species of poetry,which will continue to afford
pleasure while respect is paid to virtuous feelings and while
sensibility continues to pour forth tars of rapture.The flimsy
ornaments of language,used to conceal for a short time captivate the
ignorant and unwary but true taste will discover the imposture…the
real feelings of human nature expressed in simple and forcible
language,will,on the contrary,please those only who are capable of
entertaining them…The poetry;therefore,which is the language of
Nature ,is certain of immortality.
And you-revered Wordsworth- will be/must be immortal for all the
eras to come.Romanticism is an ingredient in all the poetry down from
that time.It has split over to painting ,philosophy,politics and many
other aspects of our lives and angles of thought.Who else will think
English romanticism and Wordsworth are not connect or complimentary
to each other rather English romanticism is Wordsworthian
Romanticism.Oh! yes,but for Wordsworth romanticism would not have been
what it is now or in future.
