AL: I was studying / watching cricket at my friends house between classes. Every day a gorgeous girl would walk down the road and enter a neighbouring house. I was mesmerised and would wait by the window each day for the opportunity to see this beautiful creature through the blinds. On the third day I could take it no longer and ventured out of the house and introduced myself. “Hi I’m Al” I think I said. I was rewarded with the friendliest smile and reply I have ever encountered in my life.
