So you thought everything that could be said about the black deeds within the White House had been said? Not quite. Looking at the unholy mess with a whole new angle is Pune-based graphologist Milind Rajore, who has decided to peer into the life and traits of Monica Lewinsky, courtesy her handwriting 8211; in his opinion, a dead giveaway of her personality.

Having studied Lewinsky8217;s writings closely, along with some of his students, the man has put together a picture of the most talked-about woman in the world right now.

8220;The most obvious quality about Monica Lewinsky is her selfishness and her sharp mind. If you notice her Ns and Ms, they are very distinct, indicative of someone who uses her keen mind to enhance her status and satisfy her urge for good things in life. There is an extra flow of ink in most of her alphabets 8211; this stands for the desire for good food, clothes, shopping and social interaction. Her tilted Is reveal her selfishness and greed.

8220;She also happens to be bookish, very theoretical 8211; evident from her As, that she seems to have retained from childhood. Her Ts are very rough, and she is the same 8211; blunt and capable of hurting others with her remarks.

8220;The middle zone in her writings is very strong, suggestive of her social nature. But, at heart, she is a loner. Her upper zone writing, however, is not too developed, indicating that her brain is not too advanced. Her letters are not connected, revealing her lack of academic excellence.

8220;Her parents seem to have been rather strict, and her mother8217;s influence is obvious too. She also seems to have a lot of financial responsibilities on her shoulders, despite her youth. She is impulsive by nature and prone to changing her philosophy and values in life to suit her requirements.

8220;Unpredictable, manipulative and ambitious, she lives for the present and does not learn from her mistakes. Her Ys and Gs do not loop and go back but come straight down.

8220;Interestingly, her writing is quite similar to that of Jackie Onassis. She is sensuous and knows how to get what she wantsquot;.
