hi i am facing problem in the usage o0f pronouns:
Ram and Rahim were two brothers, Ram went to see the zoo but Rahim did not, He(Rahim) stayed back at home but Ram enjoyed the day. When he (Ram)came back he asked Rahim,Did you feel bore brother".
My question is ,is it right to use the pronoun HE for both the nouns.

It's correct but potentially confusing (of course your parenthetical notes remove the confusion and are an acceptable solution in rare cases). In general you should always be aware of your pronoun usage and reword your work if necessary to avoid such confusion. On a more general note I find it very annoying when people are sloppy with their pronouns.

Grammar should be written with an "a" after the doubled "m" (not with an "e").
Ram and Rahim were two brothers (period). Ram went to see animals in the zoo, but Rahim didn't.
Rahim stayed at home whereas Ram had a great time in the zoo. When Ram got back at home,
he asked Rahim if he had been bored.
