Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck - impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence "Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I'll shut up about it?"
Perhaps you want to know what Mindy thinks makes a great best friend (someone who will fill your prescription in the middle of the night), or what makes a great guy (one who is aware of all elderly people in any room at any time and acts accordingly), or what is the perfect amount of fame (so famous you can never get convicted of murder in a court of law), or how to maintain a trim figure (you will not find that information in these pages). If so, you've come to the right book, mostly!
In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls. Mindy Kaling really is just a Girl Next Door - not so much literally anywhere in the continental United States, but definitely if you live in India or Sri Lanka.

Humorous autobiographical essays and television comedy scripts provide sharp observational commentary on career ambition, personal relationships, and modern adult life. Mindy Kaling established her signature writing voice through her bestselling memoir Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, bridging her work in television screenwriting with relatable narrative prose.
Born Vera Mindy Chokalingam on June 24, 1979, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Kaling first gained wide recognition through her television career. She served as a writer, executive producer, director, and cast member on the NBC workplace sitcom The Office, where she portrayed Kelly Kapoor and wrote over two dozen episodes—more than any other writer on the show. In 2012, she created, starred in, executive produced, and wrote for the sitcom The Mindy Project, which aired on Fox and Hulu. She also co-wrote the play Matt & Ben with Brenda Withers, co-created the television series Champions and Netflix's Never Have I Ever, and co-wrote the Hulu limited series Four Weddings and a Funeral. In 2012, she founded the production company Kaling International. Her honors include six Primetime Emmy Award nominations, a Tony Award, the National Medal of Arts in 2021, and the PGA Norman Lear Achievement in Television Award in 2023.
Kaling's literary and television writing relies on candid self-deprecation, observational wit, and conversational narrative rhythms. Her autobiographical essays explore themes of body image, female friendship, romance, professional ambition, and the realities of working in creative industries. By blending personal anecdotes with pop-culture commentary, her work examines the anxieties, expectations, and humorous contradictions of adult life.
