What women are in their 40s.

1. We love our Exs. Expose, explore and experience. Expose ourselves to risks, explore our challenges,(places,hidden talents)and experience them to the fullest.

2.We don’t care anymore. Not about the way we look or the clothes we don’t fit into.

3. We choose comfortable clothing over Spanx any day. We wear what We feel. Not the other way around.

4.We can unabashedly crack jokes at our expense and laugh the loudest.

5.We have started sieving people out. We can meet strangers politely but they dont necessarily convert to friends.

6.We would rather sit in our worn out pyjamas than go for a party or an event just to be seen.

7.Dressing up is a huge effort but we clean up well. So when We do decide to dress up We can look like a diva which We choose over a model any day.

8.We don’t mince our words. And We don’t care about what anyone feels about us. Its not detrimental to our self esteem.

8.We have figured that having the napkins perfectly rolled, towels ironed and spotless walls won’t get us a Padma Shree.

10.We don’t want to wear makeup except of course mascara which We don’t use for our lashes(we don’t flutter them anymore) but for our hairline which starts greying before We have even left the salon.

11.We prefer to keep quite in group conversations not because We have nothing to say but We find verbal diarrhoea a waste of energy.

12.Our drinking capacity goes down. Not just with booze but with water too. The plumbing seems to be getting out of whack.

13.Our libido is as messed up as our lipid profile.

14.We attain nirvana with varying degrees of “I don’t care a f#*@ !!

15.We can wake up late without feeling guilty because We don’t have school and neither an appointment with the prime minister.

16.We have absolutely no qualms about repeating clothes infact I have a uniform which I wear when in doubt. A white lucknowi kurti.(with jeans or churidar depending on my shape for the day.)

17.We have acquired the art of guessing the words on our phone or a book even when they’re blurred

18. We delete forwards without reading them and clean our phone list from time to time like our wardrobes. What you haven’t used in over two months chuck.

19.If we don’t want to we won’t cook. So please feel free to order in. For us too.

20. Not having watched game of thrones doesn’t deprive us of a doctorate.(which I doubt I’m getting anyway)

21. My medicine pouch is way heavier than my make up pouch.

22.Our past present n future can now be classified by premenopausal, menopausal and post menopausal.

23.We can pretend flatulance is a joyous pregnancy without the horror of teething, tests,teens and testosterone.

24. Of course we excercise. We excercise our wish our will and our want without even going to the gym.

25.Patience like B-12, D-3 and calcium is just a deficiency

26. And We Are Hot!!!! Menopause or not!!!
