The quirky comedienne and powerhouse behind The Office turns 33 today! I love love love this woman for her unabashed humor, hilarious advice and no holds barred personality that she’s simply a-okay with sharing to the world. If you haven’t read her book, Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me?, it’s a quick read that covers her childhood and present career with the humble yet absurd tone she has grown to perfect. Her chapter on romantic comedies is a winner on its own.

Kaling already has much to celebrate – in May, she was given the greenlight from FOX to write her own new comedy series, now titled The Mindy Project, about a single gynecologist. Here is a promotional shot for her show, due this Fall!
