అమావాస్యనాడు పొద్దుకు వంగలు కాచునా!

This expression is used to signify that windfalls, special treats, or exceptional circumstances do not happen every day. It reminds one that lucky breaks are rare and one must rely on regular effort rather than expecting extraordinary benefits to be constant.

This proverb is used to highlight irony or the unpredictability of fate. In Hindu tradition, dying on Ekadashi is considered auspicious, while Amavasya is often viewed as inauspicious.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone with a guilty conscience or an inherent bad habit becomes extremely restless or reveals their true nature when an opportunity or a specific triggering circumstance arises.

This proverb is used to mock people who claim to be experts or omniscient but fail at basic common sense or fail to account for things they should have known.

This proverb is used to mock people who make ironic or illogical comparisons between themselves and others. It specifically satirizes situations where a foolish or ignorant person happens to achieve something (like dying on an auspicious day like Ekadashi) that a wise person did not, or when someone tries to claim superiority through pure coincidence despite their lack of merit.

This is a traditional agricultural proverb related to the monsoon season.

This expression describes a situation where someone fails to perform their duties or provide basic necessities even on significant or auspicious occasions. It is used to mock someone who is extremely stingy, negligent, or inconsistent in their hospitality and responsibilities.
