The great vizier of Persia, Abdul Qassim Ismail (who lived in the 10th century), never parted with his library. If he went anywhere, the library "followed" him.

Who was Robin? Robin was the original creator of all the channels you appreciate. Yes! @ThinkPositiveWords @RealRelationship @TheOpenUniversity @TechnologyBoxs all were created by him. I’m just keeping them alive. Who am I? Doesn’t matter. He was such a nicest person I came to know online. He was from Kabul, Afghanistan. Although he never told us his real name but his cousin told me that it was Agheel. In September, 2017 he died in a terrorist attack in Kabul. Gone so soon 😞 But he’s still with us with his channels. Robin was like brother to me. I remember I met him on his group Best Friends in January, 2017. He was always so nice to all the members. I was moved with his behaviour towards me, I was so immature at that time but he always tried to guide me. In such a short time we became great friends, we talk shit and raiding other’s chat groups and getting banned for making silly jokes 😂 such a great time it was! Robin was quite popular on telegram. He made successful channels. Always wanted to make another channel and grew it so that in future he would make money out of it. He would have been so happy seeing the current advertisement system for channels. He keeps asking me to open a channel here and not to waste time on chat groups. But at that time I was in love with cars (I still am) and made a cars channel, he was so disappointed 😂 He knew that it will not grow like other channels. But he still started promoting it on his channels without any money or anything in exchange, weird right? That’s what made him special, he never hesitated in helping others grow on telegram. He told me that I would never reach 2k subscribers and I should delete it and change it to another topic but I was mad after cars (Patrolhead) The channel I’m talking about it is still there - @iDesigns and yes Robin! you were right it didn’t grow like our other channels. But it did reach 2k Robin, you challenged me but also it was you who made it possible. Why I’m writing this? Maybe you think it’s useless but I want subscribers to know who the original creator was and this is my way of remembering him. I will share more in my other posts here!
