పందుం తిన్నా పరకడుపే, ఏదుం తిన్నా ఏకాదశే

This expression highlights that even a simple or poor meal (represented by the common sour leaf Gongura) eaten at one's own home/birthplace is far more satisfying and comforting than a rich feast (represented by the sweet Kheer) served at an unfamiliar or foreign place. It emphasizes the value of belonging, freedom, and the emotional comfort of home over material luxury elsewhere.

This proverb highlights that some experiences leave an indelible mark on a person's memory.

Both the person who was helped in their time of need and the person who was wronged/punished will remember those moments forever.

This expression is used to describe a situation where people are engaging in repetitive, meaningless, or tit-for-tat arguments. It highlights a lack of constructive dialogue where both parties are simply echoing or countering each other without reaching a resolution.

This expression is used to describe a situation where people are communicating or acting in a repetitive, stubborn, or nonsensical manner without reaching any conclusion. It refers to a tit-for-tat exchange or a situation where two parties are just making noise or arguing without listening to each other, much like the rhythmic but non-verbal sounds of a drum.

This proverb highlights how human memory is deeply impacted by both kindness and suffering. A person will always remember the one who helped them during hunger (gratitude), just as someone will never forget the person who caused them physical or emotional pain (resentment).
