How to : Display Related Posts in Vigilance Theme WordPress

I have been fiddling around with the newly installed theme Vigilance. There is a cost involved to it if I wanna take some help from the Theme Author. But at this point in time I can not afford it. So I thought of doing it on my own. There are number of modifications done on this theme. I am not even able to remember it. I am just a part time coder so there is a very good chance that I might forget what I did to make that thing work.
I will soon publish the list of modifications done in Vigilance Theme. As of now I am posting how to display Related Posts on a page. You can laugh if I tell you the purpose of posting it here. I wanted to make sure that even if I forget what I did it stays here on my Blog and I can refer to that later on. And it might be help to others as well.

< ?php comments_template(”, true); ?>
