Broken Crayons Can Still Colour is a true life account of Captain Rakesh Walia which charts his scarred childhood as an orphan boy, to chasing his childhood dream of becoming a proud officer of the Indian Army, and later climbing the ladder of corporate success.
His story has all the elements of perseverance, will, grit and determination which holds the power to inspire and motivate people in their darkest hours, and in the face of adversity.
Captain Rakesh Walia is a decorated ex-Army Officer who served the nation in some of the most challenging operations within and across Indian borders, but was constrained to resign from active service on compassionate grounds. He began his corporate foray by joining one of the largest travel conglomerates where he got associated with some of the most iconic brands word-wide and won innumerable citations and awards at the national and international levels.
An inspiring story of a remarkable man who never let life’s challenges get the better of him. Captain Walia’s book reminds us that human endeavour is limitless and shall always triumph over adversity.

Rakesh, it has been a great honour to read your life journey. You have so beautifully beaded words of emotion, humour and conviction to give the readers an experience that will last for a lifetime. Taking baby steps from a lonely, uncared child to making long leaps as a man of wisdom and success, you have always raised the bar for yourself, which are the true qualities of a great leader and a wise teacher. Congratulations for the hard work and dedication in writing this beautiful book, which I am sure, will most definitely, touch the hearts of many.

Capt Rakesh Walia’s autobiography Broken Crayons Can Still Colour is a highly motivating book and a must-read for the youth who dare to dream big. An extremely absorbing and gripping narrative of his personal life, the book was difficult to put down once I started reading it. Captain, as he is fondly called, has an amazing personality and a pleasant demeanour with no trace of his traumatic childhood experiences. He joined Matrix in December 2006 and has been an asset to Matrix – one that I have come to greatly value.
