How did Surya's attitude differ from Prabhat's?

Correct Answer

Surya's attitude was completely opposite to Prabhat's. While Prabhat was obsessed with winning and could not accept losing, Surya enjoyed every game regardless of the outcome.

Surya laughed, joked, and smiled even when losing at badminton or performing poorly at basketball. He played for the joy of playing, not for victory.

The chapter contrasts the two characters: Prabhat 'could not bear losing' while Surya 'enjoyed everything equally.' Surya 'was paying so little attention to the match' and 'did not feel bad about losing.'

Even when 'he could not score a basket for ten minutes' at basketball, 'his happy smile never left his face.'
