Running is a quick trigger for a good mood. The great thing about endorphins, you don't have to be in great shape to get them.
Mindy KalingI love women who are bosses and who don't constantly worry about what their employees think of them. I love women who don't ask, "Is that OK?" after everything they say. I love when women are courageous in the face of unthinkable circumstances, like my mother when she was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Or like Gabrielle Giffords writing editorials for the New York Times about the cowardice of Congress regarding gun laws and using phrases like "mark my words" like she is Clint Eastwood. How many women say stuff like that?
Mindy KalingI used to forget that I was an Indian woman. I would even forget that I was a woman. I don't think of myself as bringing to the table a lot of 'women's issues.' I don't feel the need to write about maternity. I grew up thinking that the talented people in comedy were hard-joke writers.

Mindy KalingIโm not complaining about Romance Being Dead - Iโve just described a happy marriage as based on talking about plants and a canceled Ray Romano show and drinking milkshakes: not exactly rose petals and gazing into each otherโs eyes at the top of the Empire State Building or whatever. Iโm pretty sure my parents have gazed into each otherโs eyes maybe once, and that was so my mom could put eyedrops in my dadโs eyes.
