This generation will tell you to be empathetic, to not bully others, to be sensitive to LGBTQ people, to have sympathy for poor kids of Palestine, that mental health matters, spread love and not war...

Watched Satluj last evening. An honest take, because the film deserves both its due and its scrutiny.

First, the craft. This is a brilliantly made film. Tight script, gripping screenplay, top-notch performances from almost the entire cast. On pure filmmaking merit, it delivers.

Now the harder part.

My genuine critique: the film decontextualizes Jaswant Singh Khalra and the human rights question from the bloody Khalistani insurgency that decimated Punjab. Mass murders, rapes, atrocities on Sikhs and Hindus alike, Guru Ghars hijacked for terrorist recruitment. Punjab lived through all of it. Stripping that backdrop away is not nuance, it is omission.

Two men, CM Beant Singh and KPS Gill, get most of the credit for crushing what was effectively a Pakistan-backed proxy war, and rightly so. Portraying Beant Singh’s brutal assassination as a consequence of human rights abuses under his tenure is malicious framing.

And here’s the context the film refuses to sit with: by the early 90s, Punjab was not a law and order problem, it was a war. A neighbouring state was arming and funding it. Elections couldn’t be held. Civilians were being pulled off buses and shot for their religion. No state on earth, democratic or otherwise, absorbs that indefinitely. The response was brutal, and parts of it were indefensible. Both things are true. A film that shows you the second without the first isn’t telling you history, it’s telling you half of it.

There’s more. The film’s quiet justification of internationalizing domestic issues, and Khalra’s press conference line, “chahe mujhe koi gaadi se uda de yaa goli maar de”, read to me as indirect references to Deep Sidhu and Sidhu Moosewala’s deaths respectively. That subtext is hard to unsee.

To be clear: I have complete empathy for victims on both sides, of terrorism and of the police brutality that followed. But terrorism cannot be whitewashed under the blanket of human rights abuses that occur in every conflict zone.

And beneath all of this sits a genuine grief for Punjab. This is a land that has absorbed blow after blow for more than three centuries. Gurus gave their lives defending our land, our faith. The British brutalized it. Partition tore it in half, and its people were killed, maimed, raped, and left with nothing. Then came Khalistani terror, Operation Blue Star, the assassination of PM Indira Gandhi, then the Delhi pogrom and subsequent state excesses. And today: drugs, gangsterism, deindustrialization, an exodus of its young, families hollowed out, entire generations gone as if they never existed. Few regions of India have given more and been given less. But grief is not the same as grievance. Some of Punjab’s wounds were inflicted on it, some it inflicted on itself, and the tragedy is that an industry now exists to keep those wounds open rather than heal them. Punjab deserves better than both its enemies and its self-appointed avengers. That distinction is exactly what this film needed to hold, and didn’t.

Verdict: for all its goods and bads, Satluj is a MUST WATCH. But it carries a real risk, strong potential to be weaponized by Khalistani sympathizers to justify their actions. I’m all for free speech and every kind of filmmaking. That is exactly why context matters this much.

3.5/5

Sometimes - parents do have a tendency to talk about irrelevant stuff.

I mean - if asked about duration of fever - they will start with ‘how child was fine on Monday morning , went to school, had a fight with a boy - came back - was angry -then slept and woke up . Was fine in the night also - ate his favourite chicken curry.
Next day also he was fine - then on Wednesday morning he started having fever. So, since it’s Thursday morning - 1 day’

We thought he didn’t want to go to school due to the fight and still sent him but later call from school came that he is actually sick.

Now I understand- why this talk happens. And it’s actually okay for parents to blabber.

But many 50+ year folks have lost patience and are actually way to good with diagnosis. Their brain works like an algorithmic machine which needs data - relevant one.

More importantly - while a doctor in private practice might listen to everything that you say - including your chachi ki nani ki mausi stories - a doctor in Govt practise really won’t. They simply don’t have the time. They will actually shut you and ask - tell the damn answer to my relevant questions.

The said Senior Pediatrician- I’m not sure who he is. I’m reasonably sure - he also works in govt hospital along with his private practise.
He can’t turn of the govt persona which a lot of people expect.

Which is why people like Chat GPT.
Not because it’s better.
I can argue it’s objectively worse than any run old the mill doctor.

But becuase - it has that ego satisfying tone. It’s not you , it’s X. Oh - I’m very sorry.

It’s ‘Her’ movie on steroids.

People who go to a doctor are looking for ego massages + treatment.

People who use ChatGPT will get the ego massage.
I’m not sure whether they’ll actually get the correct treatment.

Which I may say - it’s better to have your ego bruised with an alive kid than a dead kid with your ego massaged.

I have zero respect for someone who feels the need to put down other professions. You don't realise how many things have to go right for you to be a doctor until you meet someone for whom things have never been in their favour

This guy had to be removed from his job because of one joke that went viral online.

No unprofessionalism at workplace
No compliant regarding any work
No misbehavior

We've seen many controversies where people are taken to court, have faced hate and now this.

Ideally cannot be considered as a joke but losing a job on a mistake done outside workplace is like a nightmare.

[Hakase-kun @Resipiscences]

It's soooo relieving when people disappoint you finally you don't have any expectations from them lol

My mamaji is on ventilator. He had all his life’s savings within PSU bank in FDs. All his accounts have been sealed as due to being bed ridden he could not do re-KYC in person. His kids asked bank to take humane view. Bank said if he cannot come in person, accounts will not open.

FDs in PSU banks can be useless in time of need due to KYC regulations.

@narendramodi @RBI this KYC mess is draconian. Please help in this time of need

Otoh, I have had legit patients' parents offering me chai naashta, asking me if I'm ok when I'm visibly sick and acknowledging how much we have to run around. In paeds, parents can be quite toxic because their one and only focus is on their kids

During my paeds rotation,I had a severe gastritis flare while consulting alone on a busy day I was vomiting, dizzy, weak, and unable to keep water down. I tried pushing through to see patients, only to overhear a parent say I ws “just wasting their time” after I ran out to vomit
