I am excited about what we will discover at the end of this stint,” Khan added. “I don’t wish to disturb the students in the midst of the task. The competition will end on January 26, which is when the diaries will be opened and read. Audio- visual aids are increasingly necessary, which necessitates the need to re-introduce them to writing.” If you expose them to the same stories as animation, they will sit through it. They are bored of conventional mythology in the form of bedtime stories. He added, “This generation is born in times of technological and developmental leaps. This is a radical change compared to earlier generations that needed more guidance,” he said. They make use of logical progression while expressing their thoughts. “As students have greater exposure to media, their writing becomes more mature. Refuting the popular cliche of dying readership, Khan asserted that in addition to textbooks and novels, children are now also laying hands on internet articles, e-books and mobile applications. But it will enhance observation skills, handwriting, regularity and time management among kids,” he said. “Obviously, not everyone participating will turn into a writer. As much as they appreciate literature, they understand that they need not get overwhelmed by it, which reflects in their writing.” Khan was of the opinion that there is no promising contemporary Marathi author as of today and that this diary writing competition would be a means to lay a foundation for the same. They are naturally conditioned to separate fiction from reality. Confident that participation will continue to grow even at this stage, Khan told Mirror, “Today, children are much faster and more practical compared to those from earlier generations. More than halfway through his ‘diarywriting’ project to inculcate a love for Marathi literature among school children, literatteur Rajan Khan sounded upbeat about the fact that over 4,000 children had opted to participate in the initiative.įrom Augto January 26, 2013, Khan’s project aims to work with students between classes VIII and X of government and private Marathi schools to initiate them into literature, through the art of diary writing.Ī contest will be announced by the Akshar Manav literary organisation at the end of the stint, where the best five students are to be felicitated. Rajan Khan with students he hopes will be encouraged to take up writing in the future

zeezerizer: I have a tune at the end of the latest episode of the wonderful new show @bettyhbo from the brilliant @crystalmoselle and my very dope old pal @lesleyarfin. I highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy youth, comedy, joy, things that are good, skateboarding, epic girl gangs, and heavy vibes. Also my refrigerator plays the first three notes of the old @hbo theme when you open it and then I sing the rest of it every single time and have a good chuckle...to myself...alone...in my house...every day.

Betty (prod. Crystal Moselle & Lesley Arfin).

Based on the cult indie film Skate Kitchen and the real-life female skateboarding collective of the same name, the HBO series adaptation recreates much of the same loose energy and fun through an even more slice of life, verité style. What’s most remarkable is how it so earnestly yet quietly celebrates female friendships, youth, and everyday life just hanging out in being in the moment.

[thecomedybureau]

Crystal Moselle’s Skate Kitchen sparked a lot of buzz at festivals and wherever it played as an emotionally resonant drama following the lives of an all female skateboard crew. 

Now, Moselle has teamed up with co-creator of Love (Netflix), Lesley Arfin to adapt Skate Kitchen into an HBO comedy called Betty (just having received a series order). It’s another very, very intriguing move by HBO whose direction in comedy (i.e. Los Espookys, Black Lady Sketch Show, My Favorite Shapes, Ramy Youssef’s Feelings), across the board, has gotten way more adventurous, which we’re very glad to see.

Kevin Cage of @spotlightsaga reviews… Love (S02E03) While You Were Sleeping Airdate: March 10, 2017 @netflix Ratings: Streaming Only @loveonnetflix Score: 8.75/10

**********SPOILERS BELOW**********

I try to imagine having sex with Gus in a public place, in a car… And then I ask myself, why the fuck are you trying to justify this or even thinking about fucking Gus… Even if it’s just theoretical. You can’t help who you love, and sometimes you can’t even help you fuck. It’s primal. Eww. The way Gus kisses Mickey right before exiting the car they just had sex in is probably the most awkward moment of the episode… And ‘While You Were Sleeping’ is literally just one deliciously awkward moment after another. The 'You’re an asshole’ comment Gus murmurs to himself as he drives off is the cherry on top. And so begins another ridiculous episode of 'Love’.

Once again the show separates Mickey and Gus and we see them go through an 'average’ day at work. Nothing about life in LA is average, and these moments prove it… Gus watches a stuntman take a massive accidental fall who is playing a woman he accidentally killed off in his 'story by’ credit… Coincidentally it’s the same women he 'accidentally’ fucked to push Mickey away at the end of S1. Heidi’s recounting of the incident proves that 'Love’ is really good at pinging off their own comedy… It’s yet another cherry on top of another scene… Heidi is an emotional wreck, “It’s particularly traumatizing for me, I basically watched myself die.” My god, this show is gold!

While Gus is having a terrible day at work on what should be a career high, Mickey is saving the day at her office… Sort of. She covers for Truman who is MIA, she later finds him at home claiming a wild story about how his MMA fighter girlfriend stole his car and that was a good enough reason to skip work. Mickey takes Truman to retrieve the car and while Lily is as every bit as terrifying as he claims her to be… Everything else was a lie. He actually left the car there and hilariousness ensues. I hope we get more Truman and Lily in S2, this was fucking great. Mickey continuously tries to send Gus a text saying what they did was a mistake, but there’s always something that gets in the way.

After a bad day on set, Gus chats it up with his boss Susan, who he rightfully tries his best to avoid… Even trying to slide under a moving rack of costumes. Susan is a total fucking bitch, excuse my French, but what else do you call her? Cunt? I suppose, but thats even more offensive. She’s smoking weed and makes it a point to throw it in his face and then not offer him any. Now, I’m not a smoker, but I’m pretty sure the rule is 'Puff Puff Pass’. I mean, who doesn’t pass? Isn’t it like a social ritual?! Susan ends up forcing Gus to drive her home 'because she’s too stoned’ and then invites him in for sex. What the hell? It’s as if suddenly Gonzo is finally dating Miss Piggy and now everyone wants to fuck Gonzo. This show is too much. Gus turns her down…Mainly because she’s terrifying, but also because he really is trying to stay loyal to whatever he and Mickey have.

Mickey finally erases the 'this was all a big fucking mistake’ text and Gus gathers back with his weird friends and improvises a theme song to 'While You Were Sleeping’… Mickie goes into Bertie’s room and admits to ducking everything up and then justifies it by saying she really likes Gus. Bertie feels very 'motherly’ giving her advice from a tucked-in position in bed. Yup, this is 'Love’.

GQ‘s annual comedy issue is on stands now — with recent SNL host Dwayne Johnson on the cover — and as is tradition, the issue names this year’s “New Class of Comedy,” a handful of comedians and writers poised for their really big breaks.

This year’s New Class includes Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Rachel Bloom, Crashing creator and stand-up Pete Holmes, Detroiters’ Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson, Catastrophe co-star Sharon Horgan, I’m Sorry writer and star Andrea Savage, Hood Adjacent host and stand-up James Davis, Insecure‘s Issa Rae, and co-creators of Netflix’s Love, Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin.

Because comedians can rarely be celebrated without making them the butt of a joke, GQ dressed the group up in ill-fitting throwback outfits, complete with uglifying makeup, for their big photoshoot. It’s kind of mean but also, everyone looks amazing (especially awkward marching band kid Holmes).

The photos are running alongside a transcript of a roundtable discussion on the state of TV comedies, and their visions for their own shows.

Here are all the comics’ yearbook-style shots:

Rewatching the Netflix series "Love" created by Judd Aptaow, Paul Rust, and Lesley Arfin:

Rewatching the series after getting sober and staying that way for a bit as well as doing a lot of self-work and relationship work, I realized how much more this show said than what I thought it had almost 2 years ago now.

Having seen it before, rewatching with the knowledge that Guss' mom is an alcoholic, he and Mickey's love story makes so much more sense to me. He projects a manic pixie dream girl ideal onto her and then is quickly reminded of her human-ness. Refreshingly, as he watches her unfurl as she begins the process of sobriety, self-actualization, change, and healing. As their relationship progresses, you get to see how through her newfound and adamant honesty with herself and those around her she puts Gus in a position to turn the lense back in on himself and his own mal-coping mechanisms (co-dependency/people pleasing/being a push over/etc.) in a way that let's them both hold onto their personal agency and independence and feels like two people healing together with the reality of rough patches/etc. Neither is the others savior. I really love that about the show.

Anyway, back to the point I'm trying to make... My first time through, I identified with Mickey mostly. At the time I was also going through a lot of what she was wondering how I was going to make it out there. Giving myself to the wrong people, using, chasing after the first shiny thing to cross my path time after time... most importantly avoiding change past the time I should have and alienating those around me.

Now, having worked on myself and seeing how different my life has become after these past 2 years (1.5 of them being sober), I put this show on again remembering how much I needed it. This time through, and with knowing about Guss' family dynamic, along with how his own mother faced and still faces alcoholism within the show, it reached a part of me that grew up trying to live and love after being raised by an addicted parent. Of corse we are drawn to the love our parents taught us to recieve... that is why so many of us end up in bad relationships. Either because we try so hard to end up with someone so different that we forget our own desires for this need to feel safe above anything else, or we find someone so similar that we end up suffering the same way we did when we were little if for no other reason than the enemy you know is better than nothing. The enemy you know feels like home, even if its broken.

What I love about this show is that while Gus does have an initial attraction to Mickey, he doesn't truly start to fall for her until she becomes human to him by sharing her sobriety journey, as well as her journey with addiction to sex and love.

I can tell you from the perspective of an adult who grew up with an addicted parent that being met with someone who has the courage to say they fucked up, come to you as a human, and then actually try to get better... like really try, not just say they're going to... and not to attract you, but because they are putting it all out there to be a better person whether anyone likes it or not... they make your heart glow.

After growing up with an addicted parent, spending all this time wishing that they could heal, throwing yourself in the ring or watching others throwing themselves into the ring to help them battle their deamons, you grow desensitized to it to make it through. You, at some point, stop feeling any hope that they will ever try. You get older, get some distance, and either cut them out or love them from a distance. When they never change, you hold a place inside yourself that convinces you no one ever changes so that you don't get your expectations up again.

One day, you'll be walking down the street and you'll see someone walking into an aa/na meeting and you'll think, " they got up today and chose to try." One day you'll speak to someone who has had a rough go of it and out of all odds, they chose to take everything that happened to them and turn it into kindness towards others. One day you'll cry out in public with bruises all over your arms, and the waitress will sit next to you and without saying anything, put her hand on your shoulder just to let you know you're not alone, you don't have to say anything for her to understand exactly whats happened, but she tells you about all the jobs hiring nearby and that you can open a secret bank account with a hidden feature. One day you'll be buying hair dye and the woman helping you laughs with you when you talk about how your head got shaved, and when you say "yeah, I don't get drunk anymore" she smiles and says, "I have this job cause I don't drink anymore... good for us, yeah?".

And then you look around you... and every now and then you meet someone who decided to change. You see them trying their hardest to get better or try to figure themselves out. You see them facing their flaws and trying so hard to be better for not just the people around them, but to themselves... You see these people, and you love them. You see them out there in the world or even in your own. You see them and you know they're waking up and choosing to heal. Those people make me glow from the inside out with love. More importantly, they soften you a little bit. They let you to do the impossible again by allowing you to hope when could scarcely remember how.

Remembering to hope is what falling in love feels like. I think this show encapsulated that feeling quite well without sparing the gritty, cringy humanness of it all.
