    1. One who cooks well
    2. Is dressedup all the time with sola shirngar
    3. Never ever even dreams of speaking up to inlaws, husband, elders etc.
    4. Follows all the rules and regulations of the household to the T, and turns blind eye to what her husband does.
    5. Kitchen, Children and Husband is her only life

    In modern world:

    1. Can train a cook well to cook all the requisite dishes, so that she can balance her career and home
    2. Dresses up tradionally whenever the occasion requires
    3. Generally does not back answer her in laws, but makes her point.
    4. Makes sure her family is comfortable while taking up more responsiblities at work
