Enterance

A guy from Iraq, most of the times sitting on the enterance of the hostel, has interesting stories with him but the only role he can offer you is of listener. He can talk continously without intervals for a long period. when alone, sitting with his cigrette, he looks quite sad and lost to me.
He is too generous though and loves to invite people on meals and tea. Yeah, the only condition is that the guest has to listen him for a while. He says openly, I am fond of talking so you dont have any option other than to listen me.
Once, I have asked him for a portrait. He refused and mentioned that he never allows photographs. Then I have told him that I will not move back and make his candid shot one day. Not a best one today of course but can try some other time when he will be at better position.
