Tulu proverb

                              Tulu proverb

ಬೊಲ್ಲಗು ಪೋಪಿನಾಯೆಗು ತಾರಾಯಿ ಪಸನು ಪಂಡಿಲೆಕೋ

bollagu poinaayegu taaraayi pasanu pandileko

Translation ---------

bollagu = in the flood
popinaayegu = person who is drowning
taaraayi = coconut
pasanu = catch as a verb
pandileko = as said to him

This proverb illustrates the narrow mind of people. In Tulunadu , coconut trees are more. Since it rains more here , flood is a common scenario
A person is getting drowned in the flood. His main priority is to save his life. At that time, others must do whatever they can to save him.
Instead , if one onlooker ask him to catch the coconut which is also in the water , then what he should do? These type of words is not necessary at this point.
