Saurabh, a friend of the author for more than 40 years. He thinks beyond thoughts creating visual stories. From an itsy-bitsy Sinclair Spectrum, he added 256 kb RAM and a cassette player as a storage device & enjoyed programming in BASIC & playing games. He went on to the x86 series and then on from his bedroom to the classroom. . . he acquainted himself with C & C++ / Artificial Intelligence and a lot else.
In ’92 he got involved in developing a design institute since then Saurabh creates visual stories as a visual designer. He loves that his creations translate ideas into something he can see and eventually smell the freshness of the printed version. Wasn’t long before he fell in love with photography…he captures all that happens around him. . . . he is drawn to anything that seems odd, out of place …..and now they say, “it’s just about being SAURABH”.
