DIBAKAR PAL

Abstract

Mood is a temporary state of mind. It implies temper of mind or frame of mind. Also it is temporary state of the emotion or of attitude. It is a person’s emotional state or outlook at a particular moment. It manifests any of human emotions either good or evil or indifferent. It is someone’s disposition in dealing with others at a certain time. It highlights emotional response or attribute toward something seen, heard, or otherwise experienced. It gives jovial, angry, melancholy or mysterious impression. Thus moods imply fits of emotion, especially of depression. It is a personality trait. Man cannot change it but can control it. Temper, humour, disposition, inclination are different forms of mood. Motive is a force. It is driving force. It is inner drive. It is impulse. It is intention. It is reason. It implies goal. Thus it causes movement or action. It is something that prompts a person to do something or to act in a certain way thus to fulfil desire good or evil. It determines fate. The greatest power of mood and motif are enjoyed and exercised by an editor. An editor may accept any manuscript in the morning just with the sunrise and can reject the same in the evening of that very day just with the sun set. He may publish any rubbish. He may reject any innovative idea. He moves as per his sweet will. He publishes if he likes. He publishes not if he likes not. Thus his mood and motif are gloriously so uncertain.
