બેઠક Bethak

લુંડું ભાવે નહીં ને રુંડું તાકડે આવે નહીં.

luṁḍuṁ bhāvē nahīṁ nē ruṁḍuṁ tākaḍē āvē nahīṁ.

Literally
The broken one is not liked, and the whole one does not come at the right time.
What it means
People are often dissatisfied because they cannot find exactly what they want when they need it.

  • નાની મોટી કરતાં કુંવારા રહ્યા.
  • જુગત જેઠું મળે નહીં, ને મનની હોંસ ટળે નહીં.
