Ideally this post should also be called "after a long hiatus" but then i don't want people to under estimate by blog christening abilities. :-) You are however free to choose from "On the Self" or "Another of her stupid thought pracus after a long hiatus" ( Trying to be TR's follower. Will appreciate a few laughs after this line)
Now now. Back to the serious topic... Where do i start. Secure my blog first..
Statutory Warning :This is purely a view point or rather just a view of the world and the people in it that I have. So even if some of the statements seem very judgmental... kindly ignore the tone of such statements :-)

What does it mean to be you???
A question that every human wants to answer at one or other point of life.. Defining 'being yourself' as doing what you want to do...
This question mostly doesn't arise in a person's mind. Because of two reasons,
The person is already doing what he wants to do or when the person has no idea what he wants and so never cares to think about de question and blindly accepts "what life gives them" or so he states.

Some of the “thinkers" as 'I think' I should call them are however skeptical about everything around. They mostly try to avoid people different from them. Most of them are solitary reapers with thoughts about anything and everything running in their minds 24*7. (A small doubt: am clueless as to why people resort to writing 24/7. Doesn't make sense does it...) When they find people of either their kind they cling on to them (sort of intellectual bonding) some are even sub consciously in search of people from the other group whom they can mould.
The thinkers are efficient enough to find the simplest solutions to the most complicated problems however are equally capable to blow up the smallest of things to outrageous proportions and end up getting confused. A friend once told me that "confusions" can do good as they help us to concentrate on the problem better and hence find a better solution to it. Don’t know how far it can be generalized. In a few men confusions may lead to fear and hence an incapability to find a solution even if there be one.
And now to the Utopian part: The thinkers ought to realize the responsibility that they shoulder. Responsibility towards their own self and towards the society they live in. They should be the motivators and initiators and not mere spectators. We should be able to realize a world full of thinkers. Well at least most of it. Each one of us should grasp that in the end it just boils down to making choices, the Right ones.

So finally (FINALLY.. I know :-)) It doesn't matter if you have a high IQ or not to be a thinker. Just that if you are thinking well enough and for yourself more than for anyone else.

P.S. I am not even sure if the paragraphs have any continuity. If you can relate them, then you can probably comprehend my rather weighty thoughts about the topic. :-p

Well, most people who think they are thinkers, are they really thinkers ? (that sounds contradictory, since they think they are thinkers, one might think they are, but ppl who think anything are not thinkers, are they ? so there is no real contradiction in the question.) If a thinker thinks he is a thinker, does he *want* to be one ? Are ppl not tempted to take the easy route ? hmm...
i'm talkin abt ppl who know they are thinkers. ;-p cuz when they start to they already are aren't they..
Heavy!
Like theories about the 'real value of' money, do we now have one more to figure out?
To me, it seems more and more that as the pace of life increases, one just needs to be (not do.) Does this state of being involve thought?
Sometimes we find a perspective on the value of something one does have, from someone who doesn't have it. So it is with choice I think. But by its very nature choice is subjective! [Right to one, a topic for debate and/ judgment for another].
Unless we talk of the choice that harms than adding value or leaving things as they were. Then, we need doers on the scene a.s.a.p. Not apocalyptic as "Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge" but something on a tangible plane by you, me, they.
