What is the narrative point of view of "Games at Twilight" by Anita Desai? How does this point of view influence your understanding of the main...

The narrative point of view for this story is always third person; however, the third person narrative voice does shift from a third person omniscient narration to a third person limited narration.  

The story begins in the omniscient point of view, and then the story shifts to the limited point of view a little bit after the game of hide-and-seek begins.  At that moment, the reader is taken into the limited perspective of Ravi. We only know what he knows and sees what he sees.  The shift allows readers to more closely experience Ravi's fears of Raghu and deep desires about winning the game and becoming a champion for a bit.  The narrative shift also lets readers really feel the crushing disappointment that Ravi experiences at the end of the story.
