Dear Mindy Kaling

hey! missed ya! on the onset of the sex lives of college girls season 2 premiere, Saniya and Kian raise you: motherhood! a theme more prevalent in Mindy's body of work than the naked eye might reveal. We talk about realistic copyright, debunk the myth of Indian hotness (and apparent lack thereof), and where we're at in our motherhood journies, as former teen mom wannabes.

Happy Diwali!! We made sure to make this episode extra long so you could listen to it while doing your Diwali Cleaning! We cover eggs, whether people from high school think we're lame and the presence and potential influence of Female Friendships on the works of... Mindy Kaling obvi.

In part 2 of our Danika series, we make the totally meta choice to talk in worthwhile tangents a la Mindy's first piece of work, Matt and Ben, and cover John Mulaney, BJ Novak, and personal take-aways from a very formative year in both our lives.

Did the YouTube algorithm decide my college major? my profession? the friends I have? This week I am joined with the LOVELY Danika Jackson and we discuss weddings, different artistic tracks at NYU, glee of course, and Mindy's play and first piece of work, "Matt and Ben"!

This week, your favourite trio discusses an abundance of Joshes, the world ending and beginning in 2012, vomit, the humble beginnings of one key actor on The Mindy Project, antiquated harmful shit schools have done and oh, also touches upon a super fun topic: body stuff!

hello!! This one is a bit of a longie because as empaths we sensed that you missed us in our unplanned hiatus (you're welcome ;*). This week we discuss a hot topic and provide some hot hot takes, touching upon colourism, diaspora, the responsibilities that come with being a minority creator/success and of course, Bigg Boss. Ditch your plans and listen to episode 3 now!!

tw: annoying. Welcome back! This week, Saniya, Parthiv, and Kian discuss the male presence within Mindy's work, her time on The Office, her more recent works, the Bechdel Test, among much much more. Join us in the first further installment after introducing the RomCom framework into the Mindyverse (Kian will wish on an eyelash on your behalf if you do).

In the inaugural episode of Dear Mindy Kaling, Saniya Jaffer discusses Mindy Kaling, Mindy Lahiri, Romantic Comedies, and where orphans come from, among many other things, all in the company of Parthiv Chhabria and Kian Khareghat.
