VINOD and Reema have been married for the last 15 years, and have an eleven year old daughter. Vinod is a successful portfolio manager while Reema works as a senior executive for an Ad agency.

They have a swanky apartment, a couple of cars, a good set of friends—in short, life is looking good, right? Wrong.

For both Vinod and Reema have a very poor relationship going on. They fight very often, even in front of their girl.

Vinod often insults and puts down Reema when they have friends over, for dinner. Reema too has been known to be irritable, and argue with Vinod in front of others.

Both of them have even seriously considered separating, though they have never spoken about it.
