Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, a great Teacher, Philosopher, and former President of India - in whose honor Teachers Day is celebrated, was an exceptionally witty man.!!
The King of Greece came to India on a State visit.
President Radhakrishnan welcomed him at the Palam Airport.
"Your Majesty.. you are the first King of Greece to come to India on "Invitation"..!!
The last time, Alexander the Great came "Uninvited.”
********************
Gandhiji said: Do not drink Milk because it is the essence of Beef.
Radhakrishnan replied: In that case, we all are Cannibals - For we drink our Mothers' Milk, which is the essence of Human Flesh.
******************
Winston Churchill while having a cup of tea said to Dr. Radhakrishnan:
Sugar is the only English word where "S" is pronounced as "Sh" ..!!
Dr. Radhakrishnan jested: "Are you Sure?"
**************
Once Winston Churchill hosted a State Banquet in honor of Dr Radhakrishnan who washed his hands before eating and used his hands for having the food while Churchill used Spoons and Forks..!!
Churchill advised Dr.Radhakrishnan to use Spoon and Fork because they were more hygienic.
Radhakrishnan replied..
Since nobody can use my hand to eat, my hand is more hygienic than any Spoon or Fork you use..!!
***********
On one of his travels, Dr.Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan was asked a question by someone in the audience.
What's the difference between a Station Master and a School Master..?
The question was irrelevant and bordering on impertinent, too..!!
However, the brilliant Dr. Radhakrishnan replied calmly...
While a Station Master minds the Train,
A School Master trains the mind..!!

ReplyDeleteExcellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this entertaining story! It made me chuckle and laugh! :)
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, even though being witty can be classified as light-hearted fun and humorous, its a wonderful quality to have. It demands that a person is always aware of the environment he is in and analyzing the current situation at hand( otherwise no witty remarks are possible). It allows a person to think on his feet. These are important characteristics of a Saint, who will experience many scenarios living in this Materialistic world where quick thinking and self-analysis will aid in walking on some arbitutary "correct path".
Thank you so much for sharing Ji!
