Boundless is one of those books that will stay with me. As I started, It was like I was flipping through someone’s old photo album where each chapter is filled with memories, emotions, and moments that shaped a life. The author’s journey from a curious child to a determined entrepreneur felt so personal, yet so relatable. It’s not about grand success, but about choosing a path that felt right, even when it wasn’t easy.
What truly was the essence of the book was the story of his wife, Raj. Their bond felt real, not at all perfect, but deep and enduring. She was there through every turn, quietly holding things together, even while facing her own battles. Reading about her illness and how they faced it together was really very painful but also heartfelt in a strange way. It didn’t feel like a tragedy, but a quiet tribute to love.
The writing used is simple and unpolished in the best way. The author doesn’t try to impress at all; he just speaks from the heart. And that’s what made it unforgettable.
K.R. Thakur's "Boundless" is a passionate memoir that goes beyond a conventional autobiography, providing deep insights derived from a life of adversity as well as victory.

Aside from the commercial sense, "Boundless" is also a moving love story, chronicling K.R. Thakur's strong bond with his wife, Raj.

"Boundless" by K. R. Thakur is a memoir of the author's journey from that day when he was five years old but had to leave his home in Pakistan at the time of partition and make a torturous train journey to Ajmer to start a new life in a foreign world. And how he established his own company internationally at the end.
But I will remember the book as, through the book, the author conveys his eternal love for his wife. The author recollects from day one when he first met his wife, even sharing the pic that was sent to him. The author also shared the letters they sent to each other, which will touch your heart and beyond. Then when the author talks about his wife's incurable rare disease and how he lost her early, it will tear your eyes.
Apart from his wife, the author's family and their bond and how they try to keep their family values even in the chaos will inspire you, and that calls for respect in every way.
Not to mention the author's own journey of success and how he showed resilience to reach the goal he set is remarkable. Each chapter of the book is more interesting, insightful, and thought-provoking than the other. And each chapter is equally engaging with little stories and personal pictures from the author's life. Which makes the whole reading a compelling one. And I'm very grateful that the author shares his inspiring, heartfelt journey with us.
