Reading it while being in the times when money is the criteria is such an irony. The end was so tragic that I needed few minutes to process it and I finally understood the title while reading last few pages. My heart literally broke for Tehmina and Tahir, both of them deserved better. I also felt bad for Shaggo, She wasn't that bad a girl she was caring for her family and Tahir's family, it was her greed for money that led her to a dead end. It is truly a masterpiece. A tragic masterpiece.

-GENERAL OVERVIEW & ERA
MAA IS A BEAUTIFUL BOOK, WRITING STYLE BOHAT ACHA HAI STORY KA PLOT SIMPLE HA AUR IS TARHA LIKHA GAYA HAI K HAR ERA MEIN FIT HO SAKTA HAI. ZAMAN OR MAKAN KI BOHAT ZYADA INFORMATION AVAILABLE NAHIN HEIN Q K SHAYAD WOH REQUIRED BHI NAHIN THIEN ACCORDING TO STORY. KAHANI K 75% HISSAY TAK MEIN YEH SAMJHTA RAHA K SHAGUFTA KARACHI MEIN REHTI HAI JAB K 75% K BAAD MUJHE PATA CHALA K WOH LAHORE MEIN REHTI HAI.

REVIEW
ALL IN ALL THE SUBJECT GIVEN IN THE BOOK IS REALLY GOOD. KAFI ACHAY OR ASAN SE TAREEQAY SE ZINDAGI KA EK BOHAT AIHAM PEHLO DIKHAYA HA. RAZIA BUTT SAHIBA KISSI TARUF KI MOHTAJ NAHIN HEIN BOHAT HI ZYADA FAMOUS WRITER HEIN EK BOHAT BADI FAN FOLLOWING HAI UN KI. KITABO KI TAWEEL FEHRIST HAI UN K CREDIT PE MERI MOTHER IS VERY FOND OF HER. 2012 MEIN IS JAHAN-E-FANI KO CHOR KAR APNAY KHALIQ -E- HAQIQI SE JA MILI HEIN ALLAH UN K DARJAT BULAND KARE. LEKIN MERE HISAB SE IS KAHANI KA END KA PORTION JO JUST 15% OF THE STORY HAI TOU USSAY ATLEAST 35% HONA CHAHIYE THA JITNI DETAILS MEIN SHAGO KO DEFINE KIYA HAI US KI ITNI ZARORAT NAHIN HAI AS A READER MEIN NE BOHAT SE PAGES SKIP KIYE HEIN Q K MUJHE DETAILS REPEAT HOTI HOI NAZAR AAIN. LEKIN HAN AGHA JAN K CHARACTER OR SCENE KO MEIN NE BOHAT DILCHASPI SE PARHA HAI Q K EK HI BAAT PARH PARH K MEIN AB KUCH NEW PARHNA CHAH RAHA THA JO AGHA JAN KI ZINDAGI SE RELATED THA. MUJHE AISA LAGTA HAI K UNHEIN CHAHIYE THA K THODA SA SHAGU KI IS LIFE K BARAY MEIN ZYDA LIKHTI JAISAY SARI UMAR HUM DOLAT K LIYE TARSAY HEIN AB JAB WOH MILI HAI TOU US K BARAY MEIN BHI TOU BATANA CHAHIYE. SIRF TADAPNA DEKHTAY RAHE AUR JAB MIL GAI TOU KHANI KHATAM HOGI.
