Bikes, Beers and a Babe

“Stumbling upon a girl in college. Falling in love. Movies. Cafes. Innocent love. Then getting intimate in cabs, parking lots, and at the back of an office building. Falling into the hands of cops to make out on an open ground. Buying contraceptive pills for your girlfriend. Kissing the cousin of your girlfriend on some ride of some amusement park. Breaking up for making out with the cousin of your girlfriend. Moving on from a failed love affair only to fall back into it. Guys abusing the hell out of each other just for the sake of fun. Getting drunk at the night when you have to catch a flight the other morning. Running away from the entrance of a brothel for the fear of prostitutes. Messing up with the leader of a gang for a girl. Getting into a race just to save your ass. Then actually preparing to win to allow none to win the girl you love the most. Finding her back after months, getting cosy with some other guy. Abeer has known all of it. This is Bikes, Beers and a Babe… Life’s a cocktail with passion, illusion and seduction.”
