Explain how the title of the story, 'Change of Heart', is suitable.
The title 'Change of Heart' is highly suitable because the story is about Prabhat's transformation from someone obsessed with winning to someone who learns to enjoy games for their own sake.
Initially, Prabhat 'could not bear losing' and would only play games he was sure to win. He even cheated to defeat Surya.
However, after observing Surya's joyful attitude regardless of winning or losing, Prabhat experienced a 'change of heart'. He realized that 'to enjoy a game, you did not need a scoreboard' and began 'enjoying every moment.'
By the end, he had 'even begun playing hide and seek' and was joking while playing badminton. The title perfectly captures this journey from an unhealthy attitude to a healthy sporting spirit.

Neither did you have to worry about winning and losing.' The phrase 'Change of Heart' aptly describes this shift from his earlier mindset to a new understanding of what truly matters in sports.
