Well at this point, I have loads of free time in my hand. What with the Equity Markets spiraling southwards throughout the world and the stream of bad news not approaching any full stop. So I decided to delve into the histrionics of the Other Woman. It started with me recollecting my conversation with her a few months back...

I, over the phone: "How does it feel to take men to places, book rooms and sleep with them?"
Her: "Its better than making out with them in isolated buildings. And yes all the men I have stayed in rooms, are pretty much my boyfriends at that point of time."

I analyzed, (as I said.. lots of free time)... was her explanatory last statement her way of saying... I am not a whore... whores sleep with men who aren't their boyfriends or husbands...?
But notice carefully... she mentioned 'MEN' and 'BOYFRIENDS', all in the plural. I wondered, what category of women like her are called, who have had multiple partners in an extremely short time? Not whores... agreed but then what?
Somebody please tell me!!

Now my explanation for using the term multiple partners in a sentence above...The height of it all is when the Other woman after dumping my foolish ex-boyfriend started dating other men. She took the cake when she dated two guys who happened to be roomies, in succession.
Yeah, she went to bed with both of them too.
And yes, both of them dumped her.
For what reason?
I was told that one of them, with whom she really wanted to be with wasn't singing to her tunes...

What are her tunes???
Her extremely hazy moral lines of being close to men, her wild partying antics, oh by the way... she still does the cheap job of hosting events, in malls and hotels where men view her with anything but dignity. She says she feels glamorous that way.
The fact that she wants the men in her life to accept her with these traits.

Coming back to why the guy dint want her (man he has noooo idea how lucky he is to have her out of his life):
She on her part was ready to change for him.
He on his part dint want to do much with a characterless woman.
Of course which man doesn't want some short fun fling for free.
However I really suspect a bedroom version here.
Now that the total-failure-in-bed stories of the Other Woman are well known I think the guy realized that the short fun fling wasn't fun after all!

To corroborate my conclusions on her character is the statement by her former landlord (lets name him a certain Mr. Shah) who was disgusted to even hear her name. He even enlightened the fact that the on stream of men into his house, where & when she was the tenant, never stopped. That the men were different people... and not just one man coming repeatedly. That the neighbors kept complaining as they dint want a characterless person next door, after all it happened to be a quite, peaceful and morally upright society in Bombay city.
Hearing this I couldn't help laughing. Only a few days back I had walked into the other womans workplace to demand a retracting statement. She dint show up... as expected, but sent in the security manager to talk to me and what he said amused me even further!!!

Security Manger: "Vin*ta is sacred of you. She thinks you will spoil her reputation."

I wondered.. does she even have a reputation??? Leave alone getting it spoilt!
A reputation is spoilt by oneself by the MISDEEDS that we do... not by someone confronting you... Isn't it???
Misdeeds in the Other womans case range from what I've mentioned in the older posts to the paragraphs above, to when she drove my foolish ex-boyfriend to attempt a suicide by telling him to go die somewhere in her cold heartless tone and when he was released from the hospital all that she told him was that he was a weak man (when I told her that she could have been booked for abetment to suicide, she said she had nothing to do with it as she just spoke angry words...yeah right thats why she was so concerned about being politically correct when the cops came to the hospital and noo the shameless bit*h that she is... she dint inform his parents while he was in the hospital)! To the fact when she told me..."Whenever, My EX'S want to meet me or are in town... I always tell them you are Welcome home."

Jesus!!!

What left me dumbstruck is that her Father is aware of her antics!!! That every time she goes out with a guy and stays in hotels he is duly informed. No, they aren't from any industrialist or modern day Yuppie class, but an ordinary middle class family. That the Father in turn, welcomes all the guys in her life at his place too. That he tells all of them, including my foolish ex-boyfriend, you are like a son to me. Now mind you he has a son after this Other Woman as an unfortunate daughter already... How many sons does he plan to accumulate is still unknown...
Which father behaves so casually to the continual shameful (by Indian standards) activities of a daughter soon approaching the marital age???
Another interesting fact came forth.... The Other woman took a position in Bombay and dint bother going back to her home city because she knows her LIFESTYLE, doesn't suit her parents!!! My O my... Girl going out with different guys to different places and staying with them in hotels is Okaayyyy with parents..... I only wonder what more does she do, that is NOT okay!!!Is it her going out for dinner dates with a married man who has a kid, while his wife and kid are away? Or her totally spoilt reputation back in her permanent domicile city, where even her neighbours know about her multiple men life? Or that her best friend is a beyond marriageable age guy but yet unmarried junkie, who is still jobless? Or that she gets too cozy with the husbands of her close-buddies that increase the people in her enemy list? Or she is a girl who is a misfit daughter for a mother who I've heard is a simpleton (but who cares...the father seems useless) ? Which of theses reasons make her 'lifestyle' unfit for her parents???? My guess is still on...............

P.S: After much deliberation and notifications later, the Other woman finally coughed up INR 12500/- for the articles she has kept in her position from my foolish ex-boyfriend. Like a fool she wanted an acknowledgement in the lines of a sale deed via an e-mail!
I on my part am smiling....2 years later..patience and perseverance is finally paying off...Two years back she tried to threaten me by calling the cops and tried for 2 full hours to file me under some section of the IPC/CrPC...when all I had done that day was gone to meet my foolish ex-boyfriend to ask him where we stood. Yeah she had failed miserably, inspite of being a student of Law. Two years back she 'tried to' to steal something extremely precious from me...
But I guess a thief will always be just that... in her case a characterless thief.
Two years from then, I have managed to reduce her association with my foolish ex-boyfriend to a Sale deed via electronic mail.
Thats what I call is the miracle of Hope and Prayers & the Victory of the Human Spirit.
