| Title | English proverb of the day: ‘The pot calling the kettle black’ — how an old kitchen saying became a lesson in recognising our own flaws | Source | Times of India |
| Description |
 The saying, "the pot calling the kettle black," perfectly illustrates the irony of hypocrisy, where people spotlight the flaws of others while harboring similar shortcomings. This proverb, which dates back to 17th-century England, is still pertinent in modern conversations, serving as a powerful reminder to embrace self-reflection before casting judgment, as the accusations often reveal more about the accuser than the accused.
