Random......

Random - what does this word mean ?
According to http://www.dictionary.com "random" means 'proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern'. So I can also call it aimless.

What does "blog" mean ? Dictionary says 'an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log'. The word chronological determines that it is an arrangement / order of events. My personal idea was that a blog is an online diary where you can opine.

Now you must be thinking what is the context; or is this one of my other "DADA-isms" - not really.
I have started blogging recently and am an ardent follower of a few blogs ( written by my teachers, friends and relatives ).
Coincidentally, three of them who are regular bloggers have the name "RANDOM" attached to their blogs. I presume its coincidence as they created their blogs without each others' influence.

What initially baffled me was how the three of the "very-recent" bloggers had the random keyword in their blog. But as I kept on pondering I started getting into micro-management. "How can a blog be random ?" was the first question that came to my mind. If you arrange your assorted thoughts what you get is a coherent idea. Of all the blogs I have read, none seemed aimless; in fact they all portrayed the perception of the author. When you tend to blog what do you do - do you think of the title first and then describe it, or do you get a chain of thoughts and you tend to confine it within certain boundaries to suit your opinion. But, in both the cases you are trying to capture your thoughts and defining them into your perception.

"Randomness" is endless, so how do you define your chain of thoughts as random........is a question I am still asking myself.


Have my "random thoughts" compelled me to play a "random stroke" ? Whatever it was it will certainly create some "random noise"..........
