In our genre, a woman( sometimes a girl) has to be either of these two types - one is the brilliant star kid who always comes first (because she has to be way ahead of Sharma Ji ki ladki) in the class or the other homely type who has specialized in household works (or more precisely the winner and the looser). sometimes these two types get overlapped in people's expectations(for better!!)
