This is a traditional Telugu proverb used to describe the unavoidable physical transformations and loss of bodily control that come with extreme old age. 'Ganga' refers to the watering of eyes or nose, 'Songa' to drooling, and 'Panga' to the inability to walk straight (bowed legs). It is used to philosophize about the reality that no matter how great one is, the indignities of aging spare no one.

This is a traditional saying related to the Sankranti festival. Kanuma is the third day of the harvest festival, dedicated to cattle. It is a cultural custom to consume black gram (minumulu) in some form—usually as Vada or Garelu—on this day to ensure health and strength for the coming year.

This proverb is used to describe a person who is so desperate or greedy that they do not care about the quality or readiness of what they are taking.

This expression is used to describe how people with similar bad habits, questionable characters, or dishonest intentions tend to support and protect each other.

This proverb highlights exceptions where things that are usually seen as impure or weak are considered acceptable. 1. The River Ganga remains pure regardless of what flows into it. 2. A child's drool (songa) is never seen as disgusting by parents. 3. Bending (ongu) or bowing before elders or for work is not a sign of inferiority, but a sign of respect or necessity.

This proverb describes a situation where a guilty person suspects others of the very same misdeeds they are committing. It is used when someone's own dishonesty or flaws lead them to distrust everyone else around them, often as a psychological projection.

This expression describes a person who lives a carefree, irresponsible, or nomadic lifestyle without any domestic stability or worries. It refers to someone who eats whenever they find food (stored in an 'Utti' or rope-net basket) and sleeps wherever they happen to be in the village, essentially living without any definite home or plan.
