పొద్దుగాని పొద్దులో పెద్దిగాని పెళ్ళి

This expression is used to describe someone who attends an event or involves themselves in a situation without being invited.

This is a traditional Telugu proverb used to describe situations or people that stay longer than desired.

This proverb is used to describe a person who shares the same (usually negative) traits, habits, or character as their family or origin. It is similar to the English idiom 'A chip off the old block' or 'Like father, like son.'

This expression describes a classic 'Catch-22' or a circular deadlock situation where two necessary conditions are dependent on each other, making it impossible to resolve either.
