Miss Gupta is the quintessential Indian matriarch, stern but loving, and quite dutiful when it comes to protecting her family and the traditions of her people. When Miss Gupta and her former husband Amit moved to the City of Ottawa, Ontario, from West Bengal, Republic of India, three decades ago, they had a lot of adjustments to make. Indians form a sizable minority in the Canadian social landscape, but that doesn't make life easy for the Indian community, especially the women.
Miss Gupta has always been a woman of the world, firmly believing herself anyone's equal. In modern India, Indian women supposedly enjoy the same rights as Indian men but culture, tradition and religion still put bindings on a woman's life. Indeed, that's why there are many clashes between Indian men and Indian women when they move to Western society. The term culture shock doesn't even begin to describe what Miss Gupta and her husband Amit experienced in Ottawa.
It is quite true that Miss Gupta and her husband Amit had a tough time in Canada...at first. The Indians are a hardy, hard-working people and the West Bengali couple adjusted to life in the Canadian Capital. They got new jobs, bought a house and raised a family. Fast forward a bit, and Amit is six feet under, and the couple's two sons, Sujan and Banerjee live in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia. To say that Miss Gupta is lonely would be an understatement...
Miss Gupta is a lovely woman, standing five foot eleven, pleasantly plump, with long dark hair only slightly streaked with gray, and dark bronze skin. The lady's body is curvy and firm, and her buttocks are round and thick. In her hometown of Dankuni, in the West Bengal region of India, Miss Gupta was renowned for her beauty and great height. Women who are close to six feet tall are rare in India, that's for damn sure. Miss Gupta was a model for a time, then she fell in love with Amit, and they got married and moved to Canada.
Miss Gupta studied Nursing at the University of Ottawa, and spent decades working as a nurse at the Civic Hospital in the Carling area of Ottawa. As for her husband Amit, he gave up halfway through his civil engineering studies and became a cab driver. For much of their marriage, Miss Gupta was the breadwinner, something which bruised Amit's ego, and caused friction between the two of them. There were major arguments and all out fights over the couple's finances, and Miss Gupta did not miss those.
Officially, Amit died of a heart attack, and as per Miss Gupta's wishes, he was cremated. A decade before Amit's death, he'd been arrested for domestic violence, and subsequently released when Miss Gupta refused to press charges. Although Miss Gupta played the role of the dutiful wife and mother for most of her life, she truly despised her husband Amit and was not sorry for his death. As far as Miss Gupta was concerned, the bastard should have died a long time ago.
"Any man who beats his wife doesn't deserve anything except the deepest circle of hell," Miss Gupta said to herself as she sat in her living room. Ever since Amit died, Miss Gupta removed all of his pictures from the family living room, leaving only pictures of herself and her son. The last thing Miss Gupta needed was to be reminded of her vile, violent and abusive late husband every damn day. As far as Miss Gupta was concerned, the bastard got what he deserved.
