You try to run qgis as a shell process after you tried to change the
window title. That doesnt make sense to me since to use iface, you
already need to have a qgis instance available.....

By the way, if you type

qgis.utils.iface.mainWindow().setWindowTitle("ankur workhard")

In the qgis python console it does what you expect.
