“పండుగ పూట పాత మడుగేనా?” అనేది అసలు సామెత. ఆతకాయిల వికృత చర్యల వల్ల ఈ సామెతను ఒక బూతుగా, అందునా స్త్రీలను కించ పరిచే విధంగా చిత్రీకరిస్తూ “పండుగ పూట పాత మొగుడేనా?” అనే అశ్లీల రూపంలో వాడుకలోకి తెచ్చారు. అయితే, ఈ సామెత అసలు అర్థం ఏమిటంటే: “మడుగు” అనే పదానికి చిన్న చెరువు, కొలను, కుంట అనే అర్థాలతో పాటు వస్త్రం, బట్ట, చీర అనే అర్థం కూడా ఉంది. ఉదాహరణకు: “అడుగులకు మడుగులు వత్తడం” అంటే అత్యంత వినయంతో, గౌరవంతో గొప్ప వ్యక్తులకు వారు వచ్చే బాటలో వస్త్రాలు పరచి స్వాగతించడం. కాబట్టి, ఈ సామెత అసలు అర్థం “పండుగ సమయంలో కొత్త బట్టలు కొనకుండా పాత బట్టలే వాడటం” పై వ్యంగ్యమే. అంటే, పండుగ రోజు కొత్త బట్టలు ధరించాలనే సంప్రదాయాన్ని గుర్తుచేస్తూ, పాత బట్టలతో సరిపెట్టడం సరికాదని సూచిస్తుంది. అంతే గానీ ఇది పండుగ నాడు అనైతిక చర్యలకు (రంకు) పిలుపు కాదు.

@MNageswarRaoIPS I once wrote a news story starting, "Corruption in the police ranks begins at the FIR stage...." as I witnessed the station writers taking small amounts to buy white paper to write the FIR. It thus continues and takes other forms. Sorry state, indeed!

The Stationery Bribe It was 1978, my first year of BSc. I lived in a rented room in Mattewada, Warangal, surviving on the Rs. 200 my parents sent each month. One evening, while cycling home, a little boy playing in the lane suddenly darted across. He crashed straight into my front wheel. We both tumbled to the ground and both got hurt. The boy began wailing. Within seconds his father stormed in, shouting that I had deliberately knocked his son down and demanding Rs. 200 as compensation. I explained it was an accident, pointed to my own bleeding knee, and said I was sorry. The most I could offer was Rs. 50. That only made him angrier. He dragged the matter to Mattewada police station. A constable soon showed up at my room, seized my bicycle, and ordered me to appear the next day. I barely slept that night. My landlord’s elder son saw my worried face the next morning. When I told him everything, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I know the Head Constable.” He took me to the station himself and got us into the Sub-Inspector’s room. The SI heard the story, then asked calmly, “So the boy ran into your cycle?” “Yes, sir. I even offered Rs. 50, but it wasn’t enough for them.” He nodded, looked me over, and asked, “What do you study?” “First-year BSc, sir.” He said, “Give a ream of A-4 white paper to the Head Constable, and take your cycle back.” I did exactly that and took my bicycle. For years the incident baffled me. Why paper? Only much later, after I had joined the Indian Police Service myself, did I understand. Police Stations across the country were, and often still are, desperately short of basic stationery. The government barely supplies enough stationery, as police budgets are woefully short. That morning in Mattewada, I had paid a “stationery bribe” and got my earliest glimpse of how the system quietly keeps itself running.
