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!

Khotha oosereai
ਕੋਠਾ ਉਸਰਿਆ ਤਰਖਾਣ ਿਬਸਰਆ
Khotha (house) oosereai (built) tarkhan (carpenter) biserriaa (forgotten).
When a house has been built people tend to forget people who built the house. In other words, people are forgotten when not needed, and courted when they are. Refers to a time in Punjab when skilled craftsmen were in short supply.
