In Mindy Kaling's book, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?", she expresses a profound emotional connection to Stevie Nicks's song "Landslide." The lyric about fearing change because one's life has been centered around another person resonates deeply with her. Kaling suggests that this emotional trigger could serve as a litmus test for determining humanity, implying that anyone who doesn't respond with tears may not truly be human.
Kaling's humorous and dramatic take on the significance of the song highlights how music can evoke strong feelings and reflections on personal relationships. The exaggeration about identifying robots through their lack of emotional response adds an entertaining twist to her discussion of vulnerability and the human experience.
