Kailing,
while
talking
about
the
show
in
an
interview,
said,
"For
all
of
us
in
the
writers'
room,
particularly
those
of
us
who
were
the
children
of
immigrants,
which
comprised
most
of
my
staff,
it
was
about
sharing
those
stories
of
feeling
‘other'".
Mindy
is
a
first-generation
Indian-American
and
said
she
time
and
again
wished
to
see
stories
of
people
like
her
on
television.

Ramakrishnan
"One
of
the
best
parts
about
being
in
that
room
was
realizing
that
they
felt
so
many
of
the
same
things
I
did,
and
it
was
such
a
relief.
It
made
me
feel
like,
‘OK,
I'm,
like,
normal.'" Kailing
added.
She
revealed
that
the
show
was
previously
decided
to
be
set
in
the
80s,
but
she
wished
to
speak
to
the
kids
today.
"I
really
wanted
to
speak
to
kids
now.
I
also
thought
it
would
be
a
really
great
way
to
hire
a
lot
of
young
Indian-American
writers
who
can
remember
their
teenage
years
more
recently
than
me
and
fill
our
staff
with
them."

"I
was
also
really
greedy
with
the
young
actresses
on
the
show.
Maitreyi
was
a
resource
in
herself.
When
she
would
do
table
reads,
we
would
change
the
vernacular
so
it
made
sense
for
someone
her
age." added
Mindy.
