Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book - Kuroopa (Change Stories - Book 1) ‘Why did God make me so ugly? Am I not your daughter? Was I exchanged at the hospital? Or did you leave me in the sun one day and that’s why I became so dark?’ Meera, one of three siblings, has been struggling with her identity since childhood. She is subjected to mean, insensitive remarks by neighbours, relatives, and random people around her due to the lack of pleasing physical attributes. Constant comparison with her fair, blue-eyed sister further deteriorates her relationship with friends, family, and most importantly, herself. Will Meera be able to find her footing in this hypocritical world that preaches “looks don’t matter” while constantly objectifying and running towards beautification? Will she be able to accept herself for who she is and overcome the hatred she has for herself? About Change Stories: “...gritty, timely and thought-provokingly insightful.” – The Hindustan Times Change Stories by Kapil Raj is an amalgamation of five independent short stories. Each short story interweaves a heartening story with a deeply imbibed social issue, hardened public belief, and associated fabrications. As you read the narrative, you watch and evolve with the characters, sometimes feeling yourself in them – empathising in circumstances that may or may not have existed in your lives. About the Author: Kapil Raj is a professional, speaker and writer-activist based in Delhi-NCR, India. With the heart of a philosopher, mind of a realist, and a deep-rooted non-conformist, he lives many lives, yet stealing the time for the most precious thing that matters to him: crafting plots, playing with characters, and weaving the stories, challenging the social dogmas.

His debut novel ENDURER A Rape Story is critically acclaimed by the media and loved by the readers. Connect with him on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram @ikapilraj
