Momina and Sumbal; mother and daughter are two completely different personalities with identical issues. Momina being the ugly duckling in a family full of beauty has had extreme inferiority complex all her life and her personality is badly over shadowed by her low self esteem which gives unconditional liberty to people around her to abuse and insult her. Sumbal, on the other hand, is a classic example of self confidence, brilliance and intellect. She has inherited Momina’s physical features but she tackles every problem thrown at her in a stride and survives with grace and self respect.

Baat Umar Bhar Ki Hai (English: It's the Matter of a Lifetime) is an excellent comparison of different attitudes and their consequences in similar situations. It gives the reader an innovative approach towards self awareness.
