"Sara Ghar jal gaya phir chudiayaan puchi."
This is a phrase from North India. The story behind this phrase goes like this:
There was a lady in a small village who always wanted to get noticed and appreciated. She saw to it that her friends would praise her new saree, mehndi, chappals etc. She would fell very delighted when someone would notice and praise her new bindi or her hair style.
One day she bought a set of bangles. They were the best crafted porcelain bangles from the nearby city. She eagerly wanted someone to notice them. So she would make noise of her bangles to attract people's attention. She would make noise of them while drawing water from the well, while sweeping the yard, feeding the cows. But his time no one noticed her new bangles and she was dying to be appreciated.
She failed in every way to seek attention. So she decided to take a drastic step. She decided to burn down her house. At night when the village was asleep she lit the straw- grass on the roof. Every one came shouting and threw water on the house. When the fire got extinguished one lady asked her did you get burns anywhere? She immediately showed her hands. Someone got a medicine to apply. While applying medicine the lady noticed the new bangles and said ," Oh, you have got very beautiful bangles!" Hearing this she says" The house got burnt and now you are asking about the bangles"
That's the story of people who desperately seek attention. They can go to any extent to be noticed.
