Re: English equivalent of Hindi/vernacular proverbs/idioms
Neem is bitter. Karela is even bitterer. Bitter Karela producing vine having grown up in close proximity to bitter Neem tree, double whammy. Someone extremely bitter, extremely vengeful, extremely revengeful. Light example.. you ban a mentally disturbed id. Id returns sounding sane. You ban the sicko again. 3rd time, you're dealing with an id filled with personal hatred for your moderator's id. Something of sort.. ek toh Karela upar se neem chada

Regret does not exactly match the weight of पश्चाताप. Repent may be. But may be that is प्रायश्चित
