బిడ్డయినా పడ్డ అయినా పుట్టాక విడిచి పెడతామా?

This proverb describes actions that lack a practical foundation or logic. 'Nela vidichina samu' refers to practicing martial arts while jumping off the ground (losing balance/foundation), and 'mati vidichina mata' refers to speaking without thinking. It is used to criticize someone who ignores reality, lacks common sense, or makes impractical plans.

This traditional proverb emphasizes the importance of a proper upbringing, parental guidance, and legitimate social standing in shaping a person's character and future success. It suggests that without the discipline and moral foundation provided by parents, one cannot achieve great heights or leadership roles. It is often used to highlight that a lack of proper mentorship leads to a lack of merit.

This proverb describes four things that are difficult to manage or have unpleasant consequences. The sunlight after a cloud cover is often very intense; a woman abandoned by her husband faces social hardship; a bent branch that is released snaps back with force; and a pot that is dropped breaks beyond repair. It is used to highlight situations that are intense, uncontrollable, or final.

This proverb highlights the traditional social reality that regardless of a woman's high birth, status, or wealth, she eventually leaves her parental home to become a wife. It is often used to signify that certain life transitions or social roles are universal and inevitable, regardless of one's background.

This proverb lists four things that become intense or volatile due to sudden change or release. 1. The sun feels much hotter immediately after clouds clear. 2. A woman abandoned may become sharp-tongued or fierce due to social hardship. 3. A branch that is pulled and let go snaps back with force. 4. A pot dropped from a height shatters violently. It is used to describe situations or people that have become particularly difficult or harsh due to their circumstances.

This proverb highlights three things that are considered uncontrollable, fierce, or difficult to deal with. Just as a bent palm strip snaps back with force and sunshine is particularly scorching after a cloud passes, the expression suggests that a woman who has gained independence from her husband (in the context of traditional social structures) can be formidable or unrestrained. It is used to describe situations or people that have suddenly become intense or hard to manage after being released from a constraint.

This expression describes an impractical or ungrounded approach to a task. Just as martial arts (Saamu) cannot be performed without a firm footing on the ground, and a song loses its beauty without a rhythmic beat (Taalam), any endeavor that ignores basic fundamentals or reality is bound to fail. It is used to critique someone who ignores the basics or acts without a solid foundation.

This proverb is used to describe something or someone that is extremely intense, harsh, or unbearable. Just as the sun feels much hotter and more piercing immediately after coming out from behind a cloud, the anger or behavior of a person who has faced rejection or abandonment is perceived to be particularly sharp and difficult to endure.

One may give a noble speech, even if one is financially poor. The nobility of one does not depend on one’s wealth or the lack of it.

This is a traditional Telugu proverb (Sameta) used to describe people who, after breaking social or moral boundaries and losing their respectability, try to act as leaders or authoritative figures in public places. It highlights how those who lack discipline in their personal lives often try to dominate others in the community.
