Iswaran the Storyteller

He added suspense to simple incidents, He used dramatic gestures, He created surprise endings

Iswaran was influenced by Tamil thrillers and would add suspense, use dramatic gestures with arched eyebrows and outstretched hands, and create surprise endings even for the smallest incidents.

False

Mahendra listened to Iswaran's stories uncritically for entertainment, but he didn't necessarily believe they were all true. He enjoyed them because of Iswaran's unique storytelling style.

It was once a burial ground

Iswaran told Mahendra that the entire factory area they were occupying was once a burial ground, and he claimed to have seen skulls and bones there.

He dismissed them as imagination and nonsense

Mahendra interrupted Iswaran sharply, calling him crazy and saying there were no such things as ghosts or spirits. He called it all a figment of imagination and told Iswaran he was talking nonsense.
