What qualities of Iswaran make him a fascinating story teller ?
Or
There is always a teacher to bring out the latent potential of a pupil. Justify with reference to the role played by Ron Forbes and Ustad Faiyaz Khan in the lives of Evelyn Glennie and Bismillah Khan. (80-100 words)

Answer 1

Iswaran revealed that the place was a burial ground. He, further, adds that he has seen ghosts at night, sometimes. Mahendra got scared and shivered at Iswaran’s description of a ghost of a woman but rubishes his claim. At night, he got restless and went close to the window. Not far away, he saw a dark cloudy form, clutching a bundle. He broke into a cold sweat and fell back. All this shows us that Iswaran was a fascinating story teller who could make the listener believe that whatever he said was true.
OR
Evelyn Glennie had a hearing loss and was discouraged by most of the teachers but she did not give up. Percussionist Ron Forbes helped her and encouraged her not to listen to the music through her ears but to sense the music through her body. Evelyn, with the encouragement, learnt to open up her body and mind to sense the sound and vibrations of music.
At the age of 6, Bismillah moved to Benares. There under the guidance and training of his maternal uncle, Ali Bux, he started picking up the finer nuances of Shehnai. He used to spend most of his time practising on the banks of River Ganges. Bismillah was so much fascinated watching his uncle practising the Shehnai that he used to accompany him daily to the Vishnu Temple.
It is true that there is always a teacher to bring out the latent potential of a pupil.
