Chapter 3
1. In what way is Iswaran an asset to Mahendra?
Ans- Iswaran is an asset to Mahendra because he is a dedicated and resourceful cook, caretaker, and storyteller. He takes care of Mahendra’s daily needs, cooks delicious meals, and entertains him with fascinating stories, making Mahendra’s life comfortable and enjoyable.
2. How does Iswaran describe the uprooted tree on the highway?
3. How does he narrate the story of the tusker? Does it appear to be plausible?
His story seems highly unrealistic and exaggerated, making it more entertaining than plausible. However, Mahendra enjoys his storytelling style despite its unbelievable elements.
4. Why does the author say that Iswaran seemed to more than make up for the absence of a TV in Mahendra's living quarters?
5. Mahendra calls ghosts or spirits a figment of the imagination. What happens to him on a full-moon night?
6. Can you think of some other ending for the story?
Alternatively, Mahendra could confront his fear, only to realize that the "ghost" was an illusion created by his own mind, teaching him the power of imagination and self-control.
