Oh, I know him/her very well”, is an oft heard statement! But do we really? I from now,after meeting one such person, can dispel such a thought. Guess, no one ever can claim to know a person completely. I realized this while chatting with Rupesh Baid, whom I have known as a professional and a friend for more than a decade. The fact that we both belong to “parents of twins” club only cements the relationship. His never -say-die attitude, ready smile and willingness to learn apart from his reputation and achievements as a designer were reasons enough to put him on the cover.
