બેઠક Bethak

ડંકા વાગે તે છાનું રહેશે?

ḍaṁkā vāgē tē chānuṁ rahēśē?

Literally
When the drum beats, will it remain a secret?
What it means
Said of a matter so public or significant that any attempt to keep it secret is bound to fail.

Also said as

  • ભૂલ માટે ડપકા કે શીખામણ તો બહુ આપી છે.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
