Thanks Walter, i appreciate your efforts, i understand your point here,
but what you are saying is to have two separate things, my point is to
show random items with pagination, we can show random items as shown
above but we cannot accommodate this thing with our overall pagination,
e.g

def index
@foo = Foo.order('created_at Desc').paginate :page => params[:page],
:per_page => @per_page
end

As u are saying this would remain the same but my point is that we have
to accommodate that random sample method in the first page rather than
to have it separate from pagination. As in the above index method how
can we pass sample in it just for first page?
