The word Bholi means simpleton. Throughout the story she had been a simpleton who hardly expressed her opinion on any matter. The word Sulekha means ‘a person with a beautiful sense of letters’. In this story, this word has a larger meaning of being literate, intelligent and mature individual.

Teaching is more than just a job, it is a responsibility. A responsibility to help shape career..

Sulekha was called Bholi because everyone considered her to be a backward child and a simpleton. The name Bholi thus symbolizes her under confidence and ignorance. After mentioning her real name at the beginning of the story, the author mentions it again only in the second-last paragraph.
