Solution and Explanation
The author makes this claim because Iswaran gave Mahendra wonderful company. After work at night, he would have conversations with Mahendra. Mahendra would also be entertained by Iswaran's storytelling. Mahendra never experienced boredom and never felt the need to own a TV for entertainment when Iswaran was around.
