The Other Woman is a story written by the famous author Dina Mehta, whose works are always noted for satirical irony.
This story deals with a middle aged writer Maganlal, who writes scripts for the films, beside his family business of running jewelry shop.
The main irony of this story starts with Maganlal switching on the lights throughout his house, when his marital life seems to be plunged in darkness.
His wife Vimla sleeps in their dimly lighted bedroom, while Maganlal struggles to cope up with insomnia, being another instance of irony.
Then Maganlal writes a new story to please his wife, which unfortunately makes her suspect him of having extramarital affair with another woman, when ironically no such character really exists.
