చూచి రమ్మంటే పెండ్లాడి వచ్చినట్లు

This proverb is used to describe a person who says something incredibly foolish, offensive, or inappropriate when asked to speak or act properly. It highlights the irony of someone ruining a positive situation by being tactless or utterly lacking common sense.

This proverb is inspired by the character Hanuman from the Ramayana, who was sent to find Sita but ended up burning Lanka. It is used to describe a situation where someone performs a task far exceeding the original instructions, often in a bold, aggressive, or transformative way. It can be used both as praise for initiative or as a critique for overstepping bounds.

This proverb is used to convey that certain actions are irreversible. Just as life cannot return once it has left the body—regardless of whether the death was accidental or intentional—certain mistakes cannot be undone, and lost opportunities or broken trust cannot be restored simply by wishing for them.

This proverb describes a person who completely ignores the original purpose of a task or instruction and instead focuses on their own comfort or personal interests. It is used to mock someone's irresponsibility or lack of focus when they are sent on an errand but get distracted by something trivial or beneficial to themselves.

This expression is used to describe a situation where one problem leads to another, or when investigating a small issue reveals a much larger, more difficult problem. It is similar to the English concept of 'opening a can of worms' or 'pulling a thread' only to find a bigger mess.

This expression is used to describe a person who does not understand instructions properly or takes an unnecessarily long and round-about way to do a simple task. It highlights inefficiency or foolishness in following directions.

This expression is used to describe a situation where one should be content with whatever little benefit or payment they receive in a hopeless or lost situation. Since a dead man cannot marry, any dowry received is an unexpected bonus from a failed endeavor.

This proverb is used to describe someone who is extremely lazy or avoids responsibilities. It highlights a situation where, when prompted to be productive or do some work, a person suggests resting or sleeping instead of contributing.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where one person or group gets all the credit or fame (the name), while another person or group bears all the actual work, expenses, or consumption (the food/burden). It highlights the disparity between public recognition and practical reality.

This expression is used when someone exceeds their instructions or limits in a way that causes significant damage or unexpected consequences. It originates from the Ramayana, where Hanuman was sent to find Sita but ended up burning Lanka. In modern usage, it describes someone who does much more than asked, often resulting in overkill or unnecessary destruction.
