How to pass variables to res.render() in Node.js

I was trying to figure out how to render a view inside a view, as I was stuck with this issue.

Horrible Effects of Misplaced Extensions ;)
I was using Node.js platform with ejs template engine.

My index.ejs file has an included header.ejs file.
Everything works well except that I can't pass values to the variable status in header.ejs.

Talky Messenger Documentation & Setup

(Github)
Just created a chat app that runs in Node and Socket. By the Grace of God, this attempt was worthy.

Talky is a messenger app built with Node, Express, Socket, Angular & Bootstrap.
It's like a server-client structure. (But obviously not like the one we done at OS lab using shared memory). It has a broadcasting structure. Talky does not keep a log on chat. i.e., It doesn't have a memory or database. When we close the browser window, chat history is lost. There I also added a basic console, protected by a password, to send real-time notifications to active clients.

The name 'Talky' was suggested by a friend of mine. (hey, thank you for that. The fact is that I am not really good at naming...😝)

What if sometimes your college blocks WhatsApp? Try Talky.

(There is also a website on internet in the name of 'Talky' which has no connection with this one.)
