Sohail,

I know you find it funny that they call me Sam Bhai. Somehow, today many young people on this forum call me that and it's catching on.

I used to find it odd earlier too, but then realised, it does mean "brother" and is a sign of great love and respect. While I don't think I deserve so much of it, it truly feels wonderful.

Honestly, thank you for the kind words. You guys make the Forum what it is. Without the members, Team-BHP is just a bunch of empty webpages.

And don't worry kk2krk2k2krrk2kr2r2k2, the tagline will always be there. I won't take it off.

With guys like sam around makes you feel proud to be part of this large family we call team-bhp.

Yes Sam Bhai it was full dandiya session here...with about more than 20 members having same avatar..

dude i never knew you did so much for TBHP, YOU ROCK,

3 cheers for SAM.

Yeah, i remember that sam, with so many of the folks here having the same avatar, i was totally confused. i think even now someone has the same avatar. I used to think this is some dandiya festival thing & was hoping to do the same for christmas, but never did. LOL

Zak ji,

My magazines are everywhere from drawing hall to under my bed. I have some issues autocar india, Overdrive, bike india, BSmotoring and god knows what.

Morning when i saw this thread, went and took all those that i could find and qouted those. Sorry if I missed something.

May be, someone who has the rest of the magazines and qoutes can take the pains to qoute them here!

yeah, me too remember seeing one of them with that dandiya thingy, but by the time i joined in tbhp, in sep 2006, i think most of them removed it, except one... i forgot who it was, but there was another guy with a upside down of that avatar.... i think it was khaadu.

Khaadu had a mirror image avatar. Ajmat had the upside down one. Some later had a dancing puppet Gif. I believe Mad Monkey still uses the dancing puppet avatar to date. Did you know that the avatar is royalty free?
heelntoe still uses the stationary avatar.

Oh, those were the good old days, my friends. And Rtech is such a good sport.

[SumitB]

I remember having seen Rtech on one such avatar!

Sam Bhai, you rock man! I have been a fan of your sense of humor and your helpfulness...now this. Boy oh boy...you sure rock man (and I put this thread, from the bottom of my heart. Ta Da Ta Dum Pum).

I think Rtech's wedding wasnt publicised at the time when guys started having that avatar. I had pm'd a few guys asking them why are they having the same avatar .. who in turn told me about the ad.

But .. being a part of TBHP, I havent felt the need to get any of those mag's. So, Sam, you cant really blame us for the late reaction, can you ?

Thanks, Sam Bhai. You Rule, Oh Lord of the Yeti's !
