About Shoumeshwar Sen
Shoumeshwar SenConnect with this authorCar enthusiast, dog lover, foodie, wannabe footballer.

And maybe end the day with a game of football with friends, preferably at the Bernabeu, since I honestly believe thats the stage which will do justice to my football skills (my mates dont really share that opinion, though).
