Famous oriya proverbs ku Mu janiba ku icha karuchi. Please give the proverb with the meaning.

Let me try a few proverbs at random and see if I remember them properly.

1. Tuchhaku ete, mudi naahin goda kachadu kete?  (There's no toe-ring on your toes, still why do you stamp your foot on the earth to invite others' attention?)  Why do you make so much of fuss to show off when you haven't acually got anything to show?

2. Tulasi dui patra ru baase. (One can sense the fragrance of Tulsi even when the first two tender leaves appear on the tiny plant at the beginning.)  True talent and merit of a person can be sensed even at the very early stage of childhood. 

3. Barsha Jeun ade, chhata sehi ade. (Turning the direction of the umbrella to save oneself, as the direction of falling rains goes on changing from time to time due to heavy winds.) . It's a selfish move - to change your stand and principles frequently to suit the changing times and derive benefit out of it.

4. Thakura ghare kie? Na mu kadali khai nahin. (A little boy secretly enters the temple at midnight to eat the banana prasad kept before the god. He manages to eat the bananas. At this point of time when the priest sleeping nearby hears some sound, wakes up and shouts: "Who's there?"  To this the boy in his hiding foolishly comes out with an instant reply: "No sir, I haven't eaten the bananas", and thus gets caught. The priest had just asked who was there, and he neither knew nor had asked who ate the bananas. But the boy impulsively admitted the crime on his own.) The guilty person foolishly and impulsively admits his own crime without even being asked and thus gets caught.

This much for today.

Thank you.

Now I'm back with another:

Mankada hatare saligram - When I mention this proverb to my non-odia friends they get amused. Because I think they don't have an equivalent proverb in other languages. 
Anasuya
Posted Jan 03, 2010 at 08:16 PM #13 
I would like to mention 3 proverbs that mean almost the same:

1. Dura parbata sundar.

2. Gaan kania singhani naaki.

3. Ganga nikate jete jane - ati parache apamane.


The sense of all these three can be summed up with this English proverb:

"The grass is always greener on the other side".

This is not exactly a proverb it is story about two SAUTUNI which my grand mother used to tell us which I never heard from anyone so far, so I just wanted to share this with you all.

One mosquito has 2 wives. He has to shuttle between his 2 wives. One day 1st wife told her SAUTUNI that, "DHANA (sweetly called husband as DHANA) JAICHHANTI BINA BAJAI, MO PAIN ANIBE RAKATA BOHI". Sautuni felt very jealous and immediately replied her back.."CHAT CHAPADA JEUTHI, DHANA DANTA NIKUTIBE SEITHI"...

one more from my Aai's (grand mother) famous dialogues,

andha pain bohile dasa jana nikima

literal meaning : when a blind man has to carry water he has to take help of 10 other people. Its better 1 person can carry that water.

My Aai uses it, when somebody else enters her kitchen do something and eventually asks her 100 questions, regarding where is this, where is that. She says its better, "I go & do it rather giving answers to 100 questions".

some more i remembered ;

1. chora mana ganthili re
2. godara kode jete made sete
3. kata ghaa re chuna deba
4. godarilo nija godaku ana
5. chaluni kahuchi chhunchi ku to dehare gote kana
6. mularu maipa nahin, pua na gopalia
7. hate mapi chakhande chaliba
8. bapa eiade gaba gachha, pua kahuchi mate chhai hauchi
9. jaha mana jede, ta prabhu sede
10. mana nirmal thile, gadia bi ganga

its hard to translate literally all of them, try to ask somebody in ur home (for them, who are not understanding) !!

"AKALE GAUDA PATHARA BOHILA" means when you accept something in your old age..I heard this in the context when an orthodox brahmin family accepted a very low caste bohu where the head of the family (F-in-law) never had food cooked by any other caste in his life time.

I have one more. Am however not sure if we can call it a proverb.

Bhoke odia nidra Jaae.
 
(An Oriya person, rather prefers to sleep when hungry, instead of working hard to earn something.)

I have read it in some oriya magazines.
Minati
Posted Nov 13, 2010 at 12:36 AM #25 
Yes Anasuya, it's a very unfortunate thing . But I don't think it is true anymore.That's the reason why  all of us are here in this group to make odias motivated and work hard.
Gone are those days Bhoke odia nidra Jaae.( May be I am not not 100% sure but with all of our efforts I am sure we can remove this concept from everyone's mind  soon).

Cheers Ladies...
