Hi Gopi,
          The explanation of the twin paradox is very nicely given in H.C.Verma 2
in the chapter special theory of relativity. Please look into it. The twin paradox is actually based on an example when one of the 2 twins goes on a space journey and returns to earth. According to each twins calculations each is younger than the other. But if we use the principles of special relativity like the time dilation and the length contraction, the twin paradox is easily resolved.
