Meaning
To carefully examine all sides or details of a situation.
Cultural Background
In Indian offices, saying you will 'gaur karna' is a polite way to say you need more time to think without saying 'no' immediately. It respects the hierarchy. The phrase is a staple in Indian courtrooms. Judges use it to show they are being impartial and exhaustive in their review of evidence. In Hindi literature (Sahitya), this phrase is used to describe a deep critique of a work of art or a social condition. Before an arranged marriage, families 'gaur' over every aspect of the other family's reputation and background.
The 'Ke' Rule
Always remember to use 'ke' (के) before 'har pahlu'. It's '[Noun] ke har pahlu par gaur karna'.
Don't Overuse
If you use this for small things, you'll sound like a politician or a robot. Save it for the big stuff!
