ఏకులా వచ్చి మేకులా తయారవ్వడం

This proverb refers to an act that is done without any trace or evidence left behind.

It is commonly used to describe someone who takes advantage of a situation and disappears without a sign.

This expression is used to describe a task that is extremely difficult, tedious, or nearly impossible due to the small size or unsuitable nature of the materials involved.

This proverb is used to describe the irony or ignorance of someone who fails to realize that they will eventually face the same fate as the person they are pitying. Just as a green leaf will eventually turn yellow and fall, people often mock or pity others for aging or facing troubles without acknowledging their own vulnerability to the same circumstances.

This expression is used to describe a situation where things are perfectly matched or in total agreement. It can also imply a state of mutual convenience or being 'thick as thieves' when two people or things work together perfectly for a specific purpose.

This expression is used to describe a person who, out of boredom or an inability to stay quiet/idle, does something unnecessary that ends up causing them great pain or trouble. It highlights the foolishness of inviting trouble through restless actions.

This proverb suggests that all the merit gained from a lifetime of piety and good deeds can be instantly destroyed by one major moral transgression or scandalous act. It is used to emphasize that reputation is fragile and one serious mistake can overshadow a long history of virtue.

This proverb highlights the traditional social dynamics where a son-in-law is treated with great hospitality and formality, making dining together a celebratory or respectful event. In contrast, a father is expected to be deeply involved in his son's education and discipline. It implies that certain relationships are best suited for specific activities based on the roles and expectations within a family.

This proverb serves as a warning about the risks of reckless flirtation or pursuing forbidden relationships. It suggests that just as playing with a venomous snake is life-threatening and unpredictable, involving oneself in romantic mischief or illicit affairs can lead to dangerous consequences, social ruin, or sudden trouble.
