How many of you grew up listening to inumerable sayings from parents/family etc…? Do u guys believe in them…Which one is your most memorable?
I remember some…that stuck with me through the years…Some r in punjabi…I’ll translate them if necessary…
—Wadeh mathe sardaaain deh teh wadeh paer gawarain deh???*( boy! was I glad when I did’nt get big feet to match my height)…
—Apni kulharhi se appni taang katna…(ouch!)
Share some of your own guys???
Anything that your parents said/say that you dont understand right now…or understood it much later then when it was said???
Chore ki darhi mein tinkaa....makes no logical sense watso ever
It makes perfect sense actually. This means that culprit will always have some signs to be identified as a culprit. The sign may be very tricky to find/see because it may be as tiny/small/unimportant/hidden as a "tinka." The thief ("chore") and daRhi are only used as as metaphores in this expression.
Got it...almost like looking for a needle in a haystack...well ok no comparison,,
