Smart Girls are rad, but what was it like growing up as a smart girl? Are they treated differently? How’s their relationship with their parents and dating? Do they suffer from crippling self-esteem or are they confident in their own way? Amber talks with a real live smart girl Pallavi Gunalan about her work, life, and play time.
