कुछ अलौकिक और दिव्य चीजें इंसान को मरने के बाद ही प्राप्त होती हैं। अब भारत रत्न सर्वपल्ली राधाकृष्णन जी को ही देख लीजिये। ऐसा सांस्कृतिक वातावरण में सम्पन्न होता शिक्षक दिवस उन्होंने जीते जी कभी नही देखा होगा। मने कि पठन-पाठन का इतना उच्चस्तरीय वातावरण किसी को क्या ही नसीब होगा।… pic.twitter.com/adxBwaqJRL
