Memories With Bound.

The Wonderful Life of Anup Kothari
by Tara Khandelwal (2022)

Memoir & Biography

Anup Kothari, one of the most prestigious architects in India, has successfully built 50 medical facilities, and thus was deemed ‘the Hospital King’. Kothari has also conceptualised many of New Delhi’s famous Embassy buildings, as well as a variety of truly spectacular hotels and homes across the country. Months of research, interviews, excursions to his various sites, and conversations with his close friends and family offered the basis to create a truly memorable book. Together with Mr Kothari, Bound explored his humble beginnings, his architectural signature style, and his larger-than-life personality, resulting in a book full of entertaining tales, eye-opening travel anecdotes, and the testimonial of a career dedicated to grand architecture.

Gulf
by Michelle D’Costa (2021)

Poetry

Michelle is an accomplished poet and writer, who has been published in over 70 publications. She is also the beloved Head of Mentorships & Learning at Bound! Her debut poetry chapbook Gulf is critically acclaimed, and was well received in the poetry community.

Published as an eBook, Gulf offers a collection of 15 poems, of which multiple pieces were longlisted for the TOTO Prize for Creative Writing, 2021. Each poem addresses the word ‘Gulf’ in its own way as she endeavours to make sense of her place in a world fraught with the universal feelings of being lost, rejected, and alienated.
