Behind the scenes...

When you watch controversial events of the world unfold on TV, newspapers, and the websites...you wonder...what's actually going on behind the scenes?

Similarly, in our day-to-day lives...if we look deep enough...we can often witness a lot of "behind the scene" actions, thoughts, turmoil, and desperate situations....

Recently I came across a few situations that made me think of possibilities that might be...

- A married couple having dinner at a posh restaurant...clearly with nothing to say to one another...after having discussed the menu and placed the order.

- An over enthusiastic domestic help lying after being caught red-handed while smuggling food for her children.

- A friend insisting on accompanying another for shopping on a weekend...while leaving his family behind.

- A mother and daughter's planned vacation to another city.

- Planning a dinner date with a friend as soon as the spouse decides to go out of town.

- Preponing a resignation by two months.

- A supposedly happy visit by a cousin.

- Posting of photos and videos of political upheavals on Facebook.

- A heated discussion on "racism" over lunch between an Indian and a British colleague.

- A friend taking offence to an out-of-town trip invite by her boyfriend.

- A child's constant cries for attention resulting in a tight slap from her mother.

-A husband's unexpected show of affection and the look of surprise on the wife's face.

The reality of what is going on behind these scenes....is only known to the people involved...

But sometimes it really isn't that difficult to make a guess...and hit the nail on the butt!! :)
