معنی
A situation good for one, bad for another
زمینه فرهنگی
The proverb reflects the historical reality of the 'Zamindari' system where the harvest month was also the time of high-pressure tax collection. Poush is the month of 'Poush Parbon', where families make 'Pitha'. It's the most celebrated food month in Bengal. Today, the phrase is heavily used in political talk shows to describe how government policies affect different social classes. Rabindranath Tagore and other poets have used the imagery of Poush to contrast the beauty of nature with the harshness of human life.
