దున్నపోతు తన వీపు తోముకోలేదు, వాడు తోముకోగలడు అంతే భేదం.

This is a traditional Telugu superstition or 'nammanakam' related to Vastu and sleeping directions. It suggests that sleeping with one's head towards the East (Thoorupu) is considered so inauspicious or contrary to nature in specific contexts that even a strong animal like a male buffalo wouldn't result from it, though it is primarily used as a humorous or strict warning to follow traditional sleeping orientations.

This expression highlights the power of the written word over physical force. While a physical injury from a weapon might heal, the consequences of written documentation, laws, or press reports are permanent and far-reaching. It is used to caution people about the lasting impact of administrative decisions or journalism.

This expression describes a dismissive attitude where someone devalues or discards something simply because it isn't sufficient for their specific needs, even if it has inherent value. It is often used to criticize people who make excuses or pretend that things they cannot fully attain are worthless.

This proverb is used to describe someone who finds unnecessary excuses or points out obvious flaws to avoid doing the work they were asked to do. It highlights the behavior of people who focus on trivial details or 'fault-finding' to escape responsibility.

This expression describes someone performing a completely useless, futile, or unproductive task. Just as brushing the teeth of a blind horse doesn't improve its sight or overall utility, it refers to wasting effort on something that yields no benefit or value.

This expression highlights that written words have a more permanent and devastating impact than physical violence. While physical wounds may heal or be avoided, the consequences of what is written—such as laws, journalism, or literature—are enduring and inescapable. It is often used to emphasize the power of the media or the written record in holding people accountable.

While most people struggle to hide their grief, it is considered a sign of true character and maturity to remain humble and composed during times of great success or happiness without boasting. It emphasizes the importance of equanimity (Sthitapragyata).

This proverb suggests that while physical actions or temporary secrets can be concealed, one's fundamental identity, heritage, or true nature will eventually become apparent to society. It is often used to imply that some truths are too deeply rooted to remain hidden forever.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where an outcome or a consequence is inevitable. No matter how much one tries to dodge or avoid a certain trouble, person, or responsibility, it will eventually catch up to them in one way or another.

This expression describes performing a completely futile, useless, or unrewarding task. Just as brushing the teeth of a horse that cannot see (and thus cannot be used effectively) is a waste of effort, this phrase is used to mock someone who is wasting their energy on something that will never yield a beneficial result.
