Randomness

This random blog is output of some of my random thoughts.

Randomness, exists in everyone. The degree of randomness says about physiche of a person. Imagine this, you ask a person where is the next bus stop and he replies "Italy won the world cup!". What would be your reaction?

Randomness exists in every person you meet. Some of them have it less and some more. Some of them hate it. Some of them like it. From wikipedia definition says, "The word random is used to express lack of purpose, cause, order, or predictability in non-scientific parlance."

Isnt this a random definition? This definition lacks purpose, cause, order and is not predictable. Isnt random randomly defined?

Isnt everything you do, everyday random? You wake up at a random time, eat a random breakfast, go to a random place, do some random work, spend time randomly in evening and sleep at a random time. May be play some random game too ! Can you predetermine your future? Can you tell where, with whom you would be five years down the line? Isnt the previous question random? Isnt your answer to it random?

Randomness is not same as crazyness ! Crazyness can be thought as "ordered" randomness, or controlled randomness.

To some people randomness seems strange, to some it seems funny. The most interesting thing is that people start relating somethings to your random answers. My current orkut profile names me as " Vigerin Vagrin Venegerin". This means absolutely nothing. All the three words are not english nor in any language I know. I named myself as this when I started writting this blog. By now a lot of people have infered many things as to why this name was kept. Not even one thinks it to be a random name. Some of funny ones are present in my scrapbook.
