Some time ago at work, I was called to a meeting and told, "Sayesha, we would like your editorial involvement in the new series of kindies (pronounced 'kin-deez') we plan to publish."
"Kindies?? What on earth are kindies??" I enquired.
"Oh. Sorry. Kindies are books for kindergarteners."
"Kindies" it seems.
Boy, am I glad we don't publish books for undergraduates.

ROTFL @ MYSELF!
ROTFLMAO!! Ladies and gentleman...this is the future of 'conversational english' as we know it!
Anyway me wondering why wd someone think u as a choice on "Kindies" editorials..!! U share any traits..!!
Nope.. it's not goodbye.. I'm just being selfish.. reading your great posts but not commenting.. Just that I find it hard to study, work and blog at the same time.. :-(
Btw, what does it take to blog every single day????
#ROS,
:D
#Nandya,
I'm an editor, I work on books and a science magazine for kids.
And yes, kindergarteners do read! :)
#ROS, Nandya,
You too, what's goin' on at Sayeshaz? ;)
ps: Nandya, tu jitna bhi delete kar le, I get all comments in my gmail! ;)
#Thanu,

#Puneet,

#Ashish,
Gosh, you're back at it?? :D
Aaj mera insult nahin kiya waise? Not that I'm missing it though! :P
#Vikram H,
If the future is filled with talks of "editing undies" well well, I dunno what to say...

//me wondering why wd someone think u as a choice on "Kindies" editorials..!!
Mental age, I suppose? :O
#Leon,
Oh you are? No worries, buddy!
ps: Hey, I do the exact same things, work, study and blog!
//what does it take to blog every single day????
Incredible amount of thoughts in the head and feelings in the heart. It also helps me to cope with work and study stress. My blog is my 'cope bhavan' remember? :)
#Vikram,
//how would an editorial for children under 5 look like?
Something like your comments on my blog posts.
Kidding!!! :P
Serious answer - The kindies don't have editorials. It's mostly cutesy pictures and very few words on each page.
# Nandu,
Oho! You need not have deleted those msgs:( Take a chill pill dude;)
#Sash,
Good morning to you:)
Funny...!
// Aaj mera insult nahin kiya waise? Not that I'm missing it though! :P
:O
who put that ideas in ur hypothetical brains that I intended to do that [-X
Oh but now that you've given me a nice idea, I am missing not doing it :P =))
byee
going back to sleep, to think of something bizzare to put you down :-? *devilish grin*
lol !!
lol...keep us posted about the "kindies" stuff only....;)
I do remember your talk about a 'cope bhavan'.. but I thought that you were talking about your 'tiny balcony' not your blog...
Or was I mistaken.. :p :D
:-)
if pornography books can be called pondies then kindergarten books should be called kindies na??
may be the guy who called the meeting was too much into porn...
hehehe...
HAHA....not bad idea though u can publish the book called UNDIES..though not many undergraduates buy book they ll but this one for other reason..;)
LOL! That was hilarious!
hey!my comment is missing :(
I had put a comment in the morning...n now...now its...gone!!
:'(
oh wow...hilarious!! and mindblowingly so too!!
gotta thank u...need some laughter in my life, and u seem to be providing plenty! :)
#ROS,
Good morning to you, girl! :)
#Bhole,
Back at ya! :)
#Viv,
Hehe! :P
#Ashish,
// ur hypothetical brains
Yeh hui na baat! Ab lag raha hai ki Ashish ka comment hai.
ps: The next time I go to India, I'm gonna hunt you down and kick your ass!
#Keshav,
:D
#Parth,
Trust me, I have no plans to keep you guys updated on the "undies" stuff! :D
#Leon,
Yes, my post was about how my triangular balcony is my 'cope bhavan', but Sahil pointed out a very interesting fact -- that my blog is my other 'cope bhavan'. And I can't agree more! :)
#Jai,
Got a surprise (or is it a shock?) coming up for you! :)
#Virdi,
Achha khasa innocent sa post tha, uska satyanash kar diya! Kabhi toh kisi ka bhala soch le yaar...
#Aethyr,
Eeeeks! "Undies" by Sayesha. Even I wouldn't buy a book like that!! :O
#Dreamvendor,
Yes, it was! :P
#Angelsera,
Girl, what did you post?? There's nothing here. Nothing in my gmail either!! :O
#Anonymous,
Life is hilarious, isn't it? :P
ashish maybe you were looking for something like this.
Didn't you know? Kindies is the new brand of kids UW. Sorry Sayesha for spoiling the whole mood. I couldn't resist.
PS: I simply cannot let my word verification for this comment go into oblivion. It is "ajuraju" sounds like "ajaa raju" or what?
#Ravi,
I dread to think what you'll make your kids wear. Aju and Raju are going to be one heck of a confused, traumatised and scarred-for-life lot.
#Sayesha
Haa I can almost see it in front of my own eyes - The future.
2015 - Ravi has 3 kids - two boys aju & raju and one girl kaju. He is made sure they get all the kind of UW they could dream of.
When they were babies - it was bandies, as toddlers - it is tondies. Now aju is protesting that he needs kindies as he is not a toddler anymore.
Sayesha is very happy - She has just been chosen in the Fortune list for the 10 most successful businesswomen of the year. She was instrumental is bringing Kindies (the market leader now in kids UW) back to health owing to her rich experience in kids books editing & illustrations. She gifts aju a "digitally autographed" kindie - She is after all now a celebrity. :D
#Ravi,
Hahahaha! I can imagine Aju saying, "Sayesha bua, why do you give me the same birthday gift every year????"
;)
This Ravi bugger needs help man.
#Sayesha
Did you just say bua? Mera dil pyar se gad gad ho gaya. *sniff* Thanks behen.
#eww
After all these years somebody finally understands my pain. Thank you eww.
#Eww,
Ravi's doing fine. I think it's you who needs help. At least he speaks his mind, and does not hide behind an anonymous nick, what say? :)
#Ravi,
Ab company har saal itne saare free kindies degi toh koi baal-bachon wala bhai toh chahiye hoga na! ;)
I literally burst into laughter as I finished reading this one...Thank God not many ppl are near my cubicle right now ;-)
