This is a traditional Telugu proverb often used to remark that women tend to realize the consequences of an action after it has happened rather than beforehand. In modern contexts, it is sometimes viewed as a stereotypical or sexist remark about feminine foresight, but it remains a common idiomatic expression to describe hindsight.

This is a traditional Telugu proverb often used to suggest that women may lack foresight or make decisions based on immediate emotions rather than long-term logic. It reflects historical social biases and is typically used in a derogatory or condescending manner to imply that a woman's judgment is backward or arrives too late.

It can also refer to a scenario where one person's mistake leads to an unexpected reaction or result in a completely different area.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone performs a task or facilitates a process but does not personally experience its benefits or understand the value of the outcome.

This proverb highlights that appreciation and expertise depend on one's role or status.

This expression is used to describe a person who is exceptionally stubborn, argumentative, or persistent. It implies that even if you manage to silence them or win an argument, they will still find a way to have the last word or continue their defiance through some other means.

This proverb implies that when people without power or resources get angry, they cannot harm those they are angry at; instead, they only end up hurting themselves. It is used to describe a situation where expressing frustration is futile or self-destructive due to one's lack of influence.
