I will be posting Panjabi Proverbs, Muhavare, Sayings etc. They come to mind through the day and may interest others. The proverbs convey something of the language and culture of Panjab, and are also often entertaining! There are sound files included for those who want to listen to these pearls of wisdom!

Guroo
ਗੁਰੂ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਟਪਣੇ , ਚੇਲੇ ਜਾਣ ਛੜੱਪ
Guroo (teacher) jinnaha (whose) tapnnai (leap) chalai (followers) jann chharapp
(take very high jump). The teacher leaps a little, but his/her follower leap.
It means students of clever teachers are cleverer than their teachers – this proverb can be used in both negative and positive sense; positively in the way that children can surpass parents, and negatively in the way some assume they have learned all there is to learn.
