When bones begin to shrink in size and density and metabolism slows down one knows that age is catching up. But for women and child development minister, Smriti Irani it is the simple pleasure of choosing to run errands at home over hobnobbing with the holiday hailers' that probably defines age.
The minister took to her official Instagram to share a picture of herself in face mask and a shawl at a departmental store and captioned it,"You know you are getting old when running errands is preferred over hobnobbing with the holiday hailers." She also added a hashtag 'life of a wife'.
