બેઠક Bethak

તુટયા ફુટયા સાંઘે, બે બાઇડીએ વર હાથે રાંધે.

tuṭayā phuṭayā sāṁghē, bē bāiḍīē vara hāthē rāṁdhē.

Literally
They mend what is broken and cracked, yet with two wives the husband cooks with his own hands.
What it means
Having double the resources or assistance still yields no help when no one takes responsibility.

Also said as

  • તુટયે લાભ નહીં, તે રઢયે શું કરશે?
  • તુંબડીમાં કાંકરા.
