Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
This is a story about Mahendra, a junior supervisor and his cook, Iswaran. Mahendra’s job was to supervise at various construction sites and he had to keep moving from one place to another such was the nature of his job. He was a simple man and so were his needs. But he had fortunately an expert caretaker, Iswaran who cooked his meals, washed his clothes and chatted with him at night. He would follow his master without complaining wherever he went.
Iswaran was very fond of reading Tamil thrillers during his spare time. As a result he innovated his own thrillers and would tell about it to Mahendra. He was so much influenced by those tamil thrillers that even the smallest of incident he would describe by giving his own touch to it. For example to describe an uprooted tree, he would call it a big bushy beast sprawling across the road. The latter used to hear patiently without finding any loopholes in the story. In short Iswaran played the role of a TV in Mahendra’s quarter.
Iswaran often in his stories narrated about elephants. For example, he told a story about how he paralyzed a mad elephant that had gone berserk. He told that there were timber logs loaded on trucks. But if an elephant went mad no mahout could control it. The elephant now entered a school ground where children were playing, breaking through the brick wall. Children and teachers ran helter and skelter to save their lives. The elephant was stunned when Iswaran then only a little boy took a teacher’s stick and hit at the elephant’s third toe nail. The secret was if the elephant is hit there, his nervous system gets paralyzed.
Finally, one day talking about spirits of the ancestors, Iswaran began to talk of ghosts. He said that the place where they had their shed was once a burial ground. He also had come across ghosts but he was not scared of them. He told Mahendra about a woman ghost seen only on a full moon night. She moaned and carried a foetus in her arms. This terrified Mahendra so much that he finally thought of that woman ghost on a full moon night. He could hear a low moan outside his window. He peeped from his window and there stood the ghost of the woman. He flung himself down and found that he was often dreaming of that woman ghost. Iswaran used to ask grinning at Mahendra, “Sir, you were angry with me the other day when I told you about the ghost but didn’t you see her yourself last night?” Mahendra never used to listen to Iswaran’s questions and finally decided to resign from his job and leave that haunted place.
Answer:-
Iswaran would make Mahendra's breakfast early morning and prepare the lunch for him to carry. When Mahendra was away he would finish off his daily chores and have a leisurely bath after that, He would then have lunch while reading fora and then take a nap.
