When generation changes,, things get outdated but then if you

Satish Kaushik, artist of stage and screen, once spoke with the wisdom of one who had seen the ebb and flow of time: “When generation changes, things get outdated but then if you have talent and patience, you bounce back.” In these words shines the eternal rhythm of life — the rise and fall of fashions, the fading of what was once celebrated, and the rebirth of those who endure with talent and patience. For no age remains forever; each gives way to another, and what is admired today may be forgotten tomorrow. Yet Kaushik reminds us that the soul of true artistry cannot be buried by the dust of passing trends.

In every epoch, the changing of generations has brought disruption. The instruments of the old become relics; the songs of the past are mocked as quaint; the heroes of yesterday are overshadowed by new idols. But history proves that those who carry genuine talent, sharpened by skill and nurtured by time, do not vanish. They endure in silence until the world, weary of novelty, returns again to recognize their worth. For fashions may fade, but mastery does not. The oak outlives the grass because it roots itself deep, waiting through storms until the sun returns.

Consider the story of Leonardo da Vinci. In his lifetime, many of his works were overshadowed or left incomplete, and his inventions were seen as curiosities rather than necessities. Yet generations later, the world rediscovered his genius, and his name rose higher than those who once eclipsed him. He was a man whose talent transcended the generations, and though time buried him for a season, he bounced back into immortality. So it is with all true creators — their light may dim but it never dies.

Kaushik also speaks of patience, the silent companion of talent. For without patience, even the greatest gift withers in frustration. When generations change, when one’s art or work feels forgotten, the temptation is to surrender, to abandon the path. But the wise endure, holding steady through the lean years. Like a farmer who waits for rain, they trust that the season will turn. Patience is the armor that protects talent until the moment of return arrives.

The cinema itself gives witness to this truth. Actors and directors who seemed outdated in one era have often been rediscovered by another. Charlie Chaplin, who once faced exile and rejection, found his works honored decades later. Kaushik’s words echo their journeys — that true artistry is not imprisoned by time. It bows to change, it adapts, and then it rises again, renewed.

The lesson of this teaching is clear: do not despair when your work, your style, or your vision seems out of step with the world. Do not measure your worth only by present applause. Hold to your talent, cultivate it as a craftsman tends to his tools. Embrace patience, for time is a river that turns back upon itself. What is cast aside today may be cherished tomorrow, if only you endure.

Therefore, let the listener act with courage: when the age changes and the world forgets you, remain steadfast. Do not abandon your gift. Learn, adapt, and wait with dignity. For as Kaushik has spoken, the union of talent and patience ensures that you will bounce back — stronger, wiser, and more enduring than before. This is the law of all true creation: that time may bury, but it also resurrects, and what is authentic will always find its place again.
