The play ‘Miss?ed?’ mainly highlights the importance of marriage and marrying the right person. At present, in the Indian community, a high divorce rate is more worrying than high single rate and yet, too often our society has a negative view of single-hood. The society sees single-hood like a state that cannot be changed - an immortal condition destined to bring unfulfillment. The play questions whether an individual’s happiness in life is based on their marital status.
The play examines if single women are given the time to make the right choice in their life when it concerns marriage or are they conformed by social conditions. With wit, the play explores how singles are stereotyped, stigmatized, and pressurized to get married and the many reasons for their singlehood.
Miss?ed?, a thought provoking play, looks into issues such as financial security, an individual’s potential for growth, relationships, trust, betrayal, autonomy, power and also the price an individual has to pay because of some selfish and inquisitive people in our society.

When
When is it ok to say enough is enough, I want this to stop
When will I be able to hold what I had loved and wanted so long ago
When will I have the courage to say, no more of me, now it's all You
And when will the answer be "I am done with it, it's fixed. Now back to you."
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

How I know I no longer work in an IT company
1) I only have 10MB email space
2) Noone knows how to use the Q drive
3) I don't have a calculator on my desk
4) I have not used excel in a whole week
5) The radio is playing English music
6) People understand and respond to my one-liners
7) I haven't had to hear anyone say "Like that, hah?" all week
8) I receive no junk mail from anyone offering to sell me cheap Microsoft Suites
9) Noone knows how to change the toner in the laser printer
and the last indication that I no longer in IT
10) NO MORE DAMN PRICE LISTS TO DO!!!!!

New Beginnings
I started my new job on Monday and it's been good. It is a totally different ball game though, because it is so different from working for a family-run SME, but I think I will be learning alot of new things here.
As usual, working in marketing means there will be a lot of people who love you and a lot of people who hate you. In this organisation, there also seems to be a lot of politics - inter-section, inter-department and interpersonal. I think I am going to stay out of it as much as I can. Gossip is just a devious double-edged sword, one that I want no part of.
My team seems to be a very talented lot. Alot of the people here are new, so I think we will all have to adjust to each other. There are a couple of old timers (meaning been here 10 years), but they seem to be nice and friendly people. One of them looks like a neater version of Jeff Goldblum, which provides nice eye candy. :)And he sits right in front of me :) :)
I love my new work environment. So green and luscious, everywhere you look, trees, trees and more trees, which is a lovely change from the dry dusty industrial park I worked in before. Getting to work also takes a lot less time. Thank God for bus lanes, where I travel and happily watch all the cars stuck in the selfish, arrogant desires of one another.
The IT here leaves much to be desired though. My mailbox can only hold 10MB of space (!), and Outlook keeps hanging. And every thing is still paper based, from member records to staff leave application.
Well, that's my first report. I go on my first journalistic assignment today, so I will have more to say later in the week, I am sure.
Cheerio!
