What sort of quality is demonstrated in the decision taken by Mahendra? Should we accept his decision?
Answers
Mahindra's decision to leave the place shows that he was fearful in nature.
He saw an imaginary female ghost in the night which did not allow him to sleep.
He requests Iswaran to avoid telling such stories in the future.
No I do not accept his decision because Mahendra was showing his superstitious nature.
Listening is a necessary part of any story telling.
Being a great and a tolerant listener helps you achieve not only meaning of the story but also the terms and the intentions of the story teller.
Iswaran was an remarkable story teller but Mahendra was a similarly good listener, Iswaran used to create such a magnificent appearance around the story that Mahendra used to listen to him with rapt interest he used to make eye contacts with Iswaran to either show's awe or horror depending upon the tale.
