B2 Proverb خنثی

এক ঢিলে দুই পাখি মারা

এক ঢল দই পখ মর

Kill two birds with one stone

معنی

Achieving two things with one action

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The use of 'dhil' (clump of earth) reflects the geography of Bengal, where stones are rare in the delta, so dried mud is often used as a projectile. Efficiency and 'shashroy' (saving/thriftiness) are highly valued. Doing two things at once is seen as a sign of a 'ghat-er khori' (experienced/clever) person. The synonym 'রথ দেখা ও কলা বেচা' refers to the Rath Yatra festival, showing how religious life and commerce are intertwined in Bengali culture. In cities like Dhaka or Kolkata, where traffic is heavy, 'ek dhile dui pakhi mara' is a survival strategy to minimize travel time.

💡
