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!

Valleou khunji
ਵੇਲਿਓ ਖੁੱਝੀ ਡੂਮਣੀ , ਢੂੰਡੇ ਆਲ ਪਤਾਲ
Valeou (time) khunji (missed) doomni (honey bee) thoodai (searching) aall
(land) patal (water beneath the ground).
The honey bee that has missed the season (to collect pollen) searches land and water (for it).
If the honey bee doesn’t collect pollen from flowers during the spring season, she will be unable collect any pollen in the winter, as there will be no flowers anywhere.
In other words 'make hay whilst the sun shines'.
