I'm not sure if this is already a part of the documented history of mankind, but for what its worth, here it is...
I was walking around campus the other day, trademark music in ears, and a general sense of emptiness in the air. And while the flowers in red and yellow did call me by name, I somehow chose to overlook their pleas, at least for now.
Then, the following words hit me, from what had been playing for a while:
"The future's uncertain, the end is always near..."
and for some reason, the very next moment I remembered a dream I had had a few night back, wherein I had somehow managed to offend a good friend, and was left with a weird feeling inside first thing in the morning.
Of course, I didn't really bother too much to try and investigate the reason behind this apparent linkage. This inertia had perhaps been instigated by the call I got from an old friend, who reminded me of the big live match, or perhaps by the sight of a Pizza delivery guy. One shall never know.
Randomness.
Over time, as in indirect, complex integration of several experiences over the recent past, I have reached the conclusion that randomness is the back door that infinite, immortal logic and beauty can take, to give us its fleeting glimpse. What we then do from that moment of high inspiration, is of course the function of a million other random variables.
At some level, I think all major (and minor for that matter!) developments must have a greater random component than we humans are willing to accept. So if a war is won tomorrow, or a brilliant musical composition captures your imagination, or a businessman makes an absolute masterstroke, one may safely assume a reasonable factor of randomness that influenced the outcome.
Of course, one doesn't disown the value of hard work and the likes, instead, only gives randomness the place it deserves.
Beyond that, I see I've reached back home now.
And the match is yet to start.
Lets see who is online here...
