I knew I
- [AMBIGUITY OF SELF-LOVE](https://fieryoverforty.com/ambiguity-of-self-love/) - We are constantly bombarded with posts, memes, articles, videos, podcasts on one very important topic, namely, “Self-Love”. How vital self-love is for our well-being, for our mental health and our love-life. How it is the instant fix for our pandemic malaise. ​ Women, specially the ones who are 45+, who are often a bit fatigued from
- [The Need for Space](https://fieryoverforty.com/the-need-for-space/) - After reading a blog written by a single woman in her early 30s, about her love for space, my mind started ticking.

The words “shaadi” and “settle down” were being used a lot and I got the feeling that somehow life revolved around just these two things. Needless to say, they were discussing
- [MAKING LOVE TO OURSELVES](https://fieryoverforty.com/making-love-to-ourselves/) - “Apna haath jagannath” - a phrase I first heard when I was in the 11th grade. The naive fool that I was, it took me quite some time to figure it out. I had been a “weaving fantasies in my head” sort from a very early age, even before I hit my teens. ​ I used
- [THE UNIQUE GENERATION - FINDING OURSELVES THROUGH OUR CROSSROADS](https://fieryoverforty.com/the-unique-generation-finding-ourselves-through-our-crossroads/) - Our generation is unique. And the most understanding generation, because we are the last generation who listened to our parents and also the first which has to listen to their children. When my daughter was in her teens, this thought used to cross my mind often. I used to listen to her argue and marvel
- [MID-LIFE WITHOUT THE CRISIS](https://fieryoverforty.com/mid-life-without-the-crisis/) - When I had my first tattoo done at the “ripe old age” of 49, I got to hear things like: “What! Your mid-life crisis has finally caught up with you!”“Now? Exactly when the skin is starting to lose elasticity?”“Why would you EVER do that to yourself!” You know me - if I want to get

It’s just one of those things we have no control over; growing old is inevitable and honestly, not worth fighting. The aches and pains, the wrinkles, the sagging etc. will all be there. There’s no escape. But none of this means that we should stop trying to stay fit, because growing older has nothing
- [WHY I CHOOSE TO BE A LIFE COACH](https://fieryoverforty.com/why-i-choose-to-be-a-life-coach/) - Life coaching is not something I had ever planned or aspired to do; I just grew into it with time.I am moderately active on social media and express myself freely through my posts. I started getting inbox messages from both men and women asking me for advice on certain situations in life that they were
- [MY NORDIC WALKING JOURNEY](https://fieryoverforty.com/my-nordic-walking-journey/) - I literally walked into Nordic Walking. On a cold wintery day in Klosters, Switzerland, when the family had gone downhill skiing, I saw a group of women walking past me with poles in their hands as I trudged along the path in my moon-boots. They were rather fast and I liked the way their bodies
- [HOW FITNESS HAS HELPED ME](https://fieryoverforty.com/how-fitness-has-helped-me/) - As I was doing the side-lying leg-scissors exercises today, my mind raced back to the times when I was in my late teens in my small-town Bengal home doing the same exercise while watching a Jane Fonda aerobics video tape. Dressed in my cheap leotards that I had bought after scouting the market, I had
- [MY FITNESS JOURNEY](https://fieryoverforty.com/my-fitness-journey/) - I have always been a perfect couch potato.I was the epitome of a lazy Bong woman, happy with my books and rather sedentary lifestyle. At school, nobody wanted me in a sports team and sport’s day was something I had deep-seated dread for. For good reason, I had accepted the fact that the sports gene
- [THE EVOLVED WOMAN](https://fieryoverforty.com/the-evolved-woman/) - I’ve been closely observing women over 45 (including myself, of course), of late, and talking to them a lot. And through all my conversations, I’ve also observed a common character trait that runs through us women in our 40s. I feel a kind of restlessness. In them, in myself. Maybe because we have a lot in

- [REDISCOVERING OUR LOVE AND PASSION](https://fieryoverforty.com/rediscovering-our-love-and-passion/) - Love, lust, and passion - these are some of the most hushed up topics of our lives; yet some of the most dominant ones as well because of how taboo they are. When was the last time you talked about passion and sex the same way you talk about setting goals for your life or
- [ALL GROWN UP AND LIVING ON MY OWN](https://fieryoverforty.com/all-grown-up-and-living-on-my-own/) - You know what’s funny? Too many (Indian) women of our generation never had the opportunity to live on our own. We went from living with our parents to living with our husband’s families or with our husbands. We never got a break or even a proper transition between these roles unless we had lived in a
- [RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR BODIES](https://fieryoverforty.com/relationship-with-our-bodies/) - So, I just came across a meme on social media the other day that said this:“I’d rather eat pizza and drink wine than be a size zero.”- Sophia Loren Most men responding to this post went gaga about how they like women where there’s something to grasp, how they like the kind of bodies that

When I was a kid, I’d always wanted to have a photoshoot done for myself - you know the kinds that models have? That one. I think as teenagers in India, so many of us had these little fantasies of becoming actors or models, but I must admit I
- [THE SAFE-ZONED OLDER WOMAN](https://fieryoverforty.com/the-safe-zoned-older-woman/) - A few months ago at a class reunion, I informed my friends that I’d be living away from home because I was exploring new work options.
