    GUJARATI PROVERBS AND IDIOMS: KEHVAT

    Bole tena bor vechaay…. Discretion helps! Shakespeare once said the better part of valor is discretion. Knowing when to speak and when to be quiet is a skill we all have to learn.

    Sump tya jump — Strength in Unity Whenever we children fought, my dada – grandpa – would put his Gujarati Newspaper down and have us all come near him. He would say, “Poke me with one finger.” And then ask, “Do you think that hurt?” I would say no and he would move to my brother and say, “Use my other finger and poke yourself, does that hurt?” My brother would reply no.
