Shadows Between Streets

Ishwar Singh

Summary

Life moves fast. Streets fill with noise. Faces pass, unknown and fleeting. But beneath the bustle, beneath the glow of streetlights and the hum of engines, there are shadows. Shadows that watch. Shadows that judge. Shadows that whisper truths we are too afraid to speak aloud.Shadows Between Streets is a story of choices. Not the loud, dramatic choices. Not the ones that demand applause. But the quiet ones—the ones that arrive in silence, unannounced, hiding in pauses, in glances, in words left unsaid. It is about responsibility. About ownership. About the courage to act when every step carries weight.Jarnail Singh walks these streets. So do Deepti, Niranjan Singh, Dyal, and others. Each carries secrets. Each carries consequences. Some are seen. Some remain hidden. And in between, the city moves. The city breathes. The city watches.This book does not promise easy answers. It does not offer comfort. It challenges the reader to consider what it truly means to choose, to weigh, to act—and to own what follows. It is a mirror, held against a city and its inhabitants, against shadows that linger both outside and within.If you read carefully, you will feel the flicker of the streetlights. You will hear the echoes of decisions. You will walk alongside Jarnail and his companions, feeling the tension, the hesitation, and, ultimately, the weight of consideration.Some choices change everything. Some pauses end everything. Some shadows reveal everything.Welcome to the streets. Welcome to the shadows.

Frankenstein

Mary Shelley

A POWERFUL FULL-CAST DRAMATIC MARATHON “Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.” Mary Shelley was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus in 1818, which is considered an early example of science fiction. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet, and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin and her mother the philosopher and feminist activist Mary Wollstonecraft.Shelley's mother died less than a month after giving birth to her. She was raised by her father, who provided her with a rich if informal education, encouraging her to adhere to his own anarchist political theories. When she was four, her father married a neighbor, Mary Jane Clairmont, with whom Shelley came to have a troubled relationship.In 1814, Shelley began a romance with one of her father's political followers, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was already married. Together with her stepsister, Claire Clairmont, she and Percy left for France and traveled through Europe. Upon their return to England, Shelley was pregnant with Percy's child. Over the next two years, she and Percy faced ostracism, constant debt, and the death of their prematurely born daughter. They married in late 1816, after the suicide of Percy Shelley's first wife, Harriet.In 1816, the couple and her stepsister famously spent a summer with Lord Byron and John William Polidori near Geneva, Switzerland, where Shelley conceived the idea for her novel Frankenstein. The Shelleys left Britain in 1818 for Italy, where their second and third children died before Shelley gave birth to her last and only surviving child, Percy Florence Shelley.
