Life lessons from Badminton Court-Side Discussions

Writer's picture: Guru Shankar Muthu RajGuru Shankar Muthu Raj

In the midst of our usual badminton game last week, our conversation took a turn towards the evolution of photography. Those days with a roll camera, limited to 36 precious shots, had a special charm that seems lost in today's world of endless digital snapshots.

In our era of digital abundance, where photos are limitless, there's a risk of overlooking the significance of each click. The ease of snapping countless pictures might unintentionally lessen the value of individual moments.


Thinking about this, I realized the worth we placed on those limited clicks and how much we cherished each photograph. The restriction made us selective, bringing mindfulness into our photography – each shot became a carefully planned moment, a snapshot frozen in time.


This realization made me ponder life's broader implications of limitations. Our time, much like those 36 shots, is finite. Can constraints be catalysts for greater appreciation and mindfulness in life? Life is a bit like that roll of film; we have a limited number of years, just like those shots. Embracing this fact makes every day more precious, urging us to appreciate the beauty around us and cherish the moments we have.


So, in a world full of choices, finding beauty in life's limitations means understanding that our time is special. It's like taking a photo; you've got to focus on what matters. Let's savor each moment, do meaningful things, make meaningful connections, and enjoy the beauty that comes with our time-bound journey.


Embracing limits challenges us to prioritize, appreciate, and make the most of what we have, fostering a deeper connection with our surroundings and experiences. So, let's pause and consider – in a world of unlimited possibilities, could the wisdom lie in reverting to a mindset that appreciates the beauty of limitations? Our lives are limited, and in recognizing this, we have the opportunity to embrace mindfulness, prioritizing what truly matters, and finding profound value and meaning in each passing moment.
