Dear Renu

My husband was tired and sleepy and was about to sleep when I alerted him and asked
him to be silent as I felt there was someone trying to get into our house.
We were not scared but we were very alert. My husband out of nowhere said if we have a son we will name him ‘Rama’
I at once understood that he had some plan in his mind, So I too joined him in calling out the child.

The husband at once knows that the noise has stopped so someone has got into their house. He is alert and spins a story. The wife quickly understands the plan of her husband and they together trick the robber.
Rama, the Kotwal is also active and dutiful.
The moment he hears his name being called out loudly he rushes to help them. He is alert enough to run in the right direction and arrest the robber who is unaware why the name ‘Rama’ is being called out repeatedly. He is not alert and is soon arrested by the Kotwal.
