Summary
What if only kind of knowing your family’s heritage is actually kind of lame? For Mindy Kaling, the number one bestselling author of Why Not Me?, the search for an answer begins with an Edible Arrangement of chocolate-covered strawberries and a Hindu priest.
Like Kelly Kapoor on The Office, Mindy is engaged with her Indian heritage to the extent that it is fun and convenient. So apart from a tolerance for spicy foods and an appreciation for Ravi Shankar, Mindy isn’t all that Hindu. Her daughter’s Jewish godfather--TV and film’s B.J. Novak--prompts her to reconsider her religious beliefs and ask herself: How Indian do I want my daughter to be?
From the acclaimed writer, actor, director, producer, and New York Times bestselling author comes Nothing Like I Imagined. In these essays, Mindy Kaling shares the latest chapters of a multitasking life in Hollywood. Listen to them in a single sitting. They’re pitch-perfect.

A sweet personal insight to traditions
I’m not an immediate fan of Mindy Kaling, I think a lot of the times her humour has been self deprecating, and there are notions to this audiobook that speak to Mindy’s uncomfortableness, yet curious mind about how she fits into her culture, religion and traditions. I also watched her show Velma which I think could have benefitted more from the complex and more personal narrative shown in this audiobook. Overall it was insightful to see Mindy’s lived and personal experience as a South Asian creative and how her experience has shaped how she identifies with faith, culture and traditions. While this may not be representation for many South Asians, Mindy does capture the voice and complex navigation of identity for most NRIs/ABCDs. Overall it’s a quick 20 minute listen, would recommend.
