अधजल गगरी छलकत जाए 
Adhjal Gagari Chhalkat Jaaye

Meaning: The liquid spills more in a pot that is half full. A person with half knowledge is more vocal/eager to brag about their knowledge. A truly wise person stays quiet.

This is used when someone is trying to brag about a subject/ show off without having real depth. Such display of power/money/knowledge is frowned upon in India.

Usage: वह कहीं से योग का कोई कोर्स कर के आया है, और १५ दिन से सबको सूर्य नमस्कार के फायदे बताता नहीं अघाता। वो कहते हैं न, अधजल गगरी छलकत जाए.
