చెప్పు కొరికినామని సిద్ది కొరుకుతామా?

This is a traditional agricultural proverb related to harvesting. It means that when a crop grows densely (thickly), it results in a large quantity of fodder/straw that needs to be stacked as 'vamulu' (haystacks). Conversely, if the yield is thin or sparse, the grain or produce is just enough to be stored in 'pathara' (underground storage pits). It is used to describe the relationship between the density of a crop and the resulting storage requirements.

This expression refers to endless, unrealistic, or extravagant demands that are difficult or impossible to fulfill. It is used to describe someone who keeps asking for more and more without any practical consideration or limit.

This expression is used when someone we love and care for deeply ends up causing us significant trouble, pain, or destruction. It highlights the irony and betrayal felt when a person who was expected to be a source of joy or support turns into a source of misery. It is often used in familial contexts or situations where personal affection led to a regrettable outcome.

This expression refers to things that are essential for protection and safety.

It is often used to describe a protective person or a relationship where one takes care of another's safety.

This proverb highlights the irony of high expectations. It suggests that even if you handpick someone (like a daughter-in-law) thinking they will be perfect, they might still turn out to be troublesome or disrespectful. It is used to describe situations where something we desired or chose ourselves ends up causing us distress or irony.

This expression is used to convey that common things are easily found, but precious or rare things (like talent, true value, or high-quality items) require more effort or luck. It implies that one shouldn't expect extraordinary results or valuable outcomes just because they have access to something basic or common.

This expression highlights the extreme difference in perspectives and priorities based on one's life circumstances. It suggests that while those in suffering or poverty might see death as an escape from their miseries, those with resources are driven by the ambition to accumulate even more success and prosperity. It is often used to describe the contrasting mindsets of the 'haves' and the 'have-nots'.

This expression refers to a constant, self-inflicted danger or a situation where one harbors something extremely risky or harmful. It is often used to describe keeping an untrustworthy person close or maintaining a habit that will eventually lead to one's own destruction.

This expression refers to a constant, self-inflicted danger or a source of perpetual anxiety that one keeps close by.
