Appreciation night? I'm celebrating appreciation day.
Ahem ahem! Today Mr. Hamza (the name itself engenders tears in my eyes - although I don't know whether they are of joy of his departure or of sadness that we don't have anyone so fantastically self-effacingly jocular anymore) left the PCNL and now it seems that PC is never the same as before. Just when I logged in today, and visited his profile - so tranquil, so fascinating as ever, with that 'Banned' usertitle - I was suddenly taken aback! His welcome message, "Hi Guys Welcome To My Profile" took the remaining spirit of partying off me
(Hell yeah, I partied so hard yesterday!) That red light pierced through me, and I subsided into a state of despondency soon after. All the memories, all his posts, reminded me of a great person. A person, who, admired and was patriotic to his (virtual) team more than anything and anyone - just like, but more than, any Alliance member. His posts - that creative confusion of all those capital letters and that terrible, but yet fascinating grammar. He had his share of controversies, but then, what is a great man without controversies to give him strength to take on the world? Nothing. That sharing of beautifully written words 'Idiot' and 'fool', and that constantly taunting (His Banter Skills - So Amazing!) User2010, another member who might be seen as a blemish upon this forum. And not to mention his batting, the way he carried his team forward against the
match-fixing Doosras. As I remember them all, tears have again appeared in my eye - although I still do not know whether they are of pure joy or sorrow or perhaps due to that stifled mirth, which has been barricaded by my imbecile heart, and is trying to come out.
I can't speak any more. Hope the people here don't criticize him anymore and realise his greatness. He's banned from the forum, went back to the draconian, evil real life, but hopefully he will have the inner strength to tackle it away.
Before ending this speech, which you have probably read with a dictionary open, I would like to implore all of you great men here to come to my house tomorrow and
we'll have a wine and beer party! we'll pay homage to this great man!
Don't take it seriously please, especially Great India, and 6ry4nj, and the mods of course.
No offense to the Alliance.
Why would I mind? If it's malicious (not suggesting it is), it's sufficiently well hidden! It's the best-written post I can remember seeing from you. Good work! Shame Hamza isn't here to see it.
