my mother, who is an ob/gyn, emigrated to this country, and worked backbreakingly hard to have a career here, especially after moving from africa. i virtually never saw my parents growing up because of how hard they worked and i aplield that to entertainment which worked out, which to me just makes me feel kind of good about the country in a way, because i couldn't have done this in india, i don't think. >> rose: and you have in fact said if i knew i was going to have my own show, i'd have to do it myself. >> absolutely. >> rose: what's the vision for ""the mindy project"? >> i love romantic comedies and i've spoken about it a lot. and what are silly about them and what are wonderful about them. in general i found recently in romantic comedies the focus is on romance and not comedy at all. i think now it's just about romance and silliness and girls wearing fancy dresses and falling into cakes and things like that. and i came up "the office" and i came up from a group of very hard comedy writers, and they're -- >> of which you were one. >> i believe i am. if i can say that. and i believe
