Signification
Being very worried or anxious about something.
Contexte culturel
In Marathi culture, 'Sukhachi Jhop' (Peaceful Sleep) is considered the ultimate sign of a life without sins or major worries. To lose it is a sign of a significant life crisis. During the months of February and March (Board Exam season), this phrase is ubiquitous in every household with a teenager. Farmers often use this phrase when the monsoon is delayed, as their entire livelihood depends on the rain. In cities like Pune and Mumbai, it's now used for 'deadlines' and 'layoffs' (कपात).
Gender Match
Always remember 'Jhop' is feminine. Even if a 100kg wrestler is talking, he will say 'udali' (feminine).
Don't use for 'tired'
If you are tired and want to sleep, don't use this. This is only for when you WANT to sleep but CAN'T because of worry.
