The Mindy Project has been renewed.

• Have you missed Mindy Lahiri? Of course you have. Which is why she — and the rest of her colleagues — are coming back to Fox for a third season. Fingers crossed that in its third outing, the show finds its creative footing. [Jezebel]

• A documentary you won’t want to miss: A biopic about Noor Inayat Khan, a Muslim Indian-American woman who fought against the Nazis in World War II. [Colorlines]

• You can’t spell victory without Kush. Shout-out to Kush Sharma, the Kansas City 7th grader who won a mammoth spelling bee that stretched out over the course of two weeks! He’ll be competing in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in D.C. in May. [Gawker]

• A white guy made a blanket generalization about the state of domestic work across Indian homes based on statistics and nothing else. Read all about it here! [Quartz]

• Apparently, ABC’s The Neighbors had a whole Bollywood-themed episode (despite not having any South Asian characters) on Friday. What is cool is that Dan Fogelman, who serves as The Neighbors‘ showrunner, was inspired by his college roommate — Goldspot’s Siddartha Khosla — who also serves as a composer on the show. Read our interview with Khosla here. [E!]

• U.S. and Indian political officials are finally getting over their differences after Nannygate strained tensions. [Hindustan Times]

• Which is all to say: Beware of Delhi’s gourmet food boom. [BBC]
