koojium ...

i was 5yrs old back in the dark ages ... 15 yrs ago !
i actually remember it like it was yesterday ... no chordless phones , no cell phones, a lotta fiat n ambassador cars(with gears in the side of the steering wheel) , no UPS, no CDs, no laptops , no fevistick, no alpenlibe, n no cabel TV
the one n only channel was DD national ....
but i was a happy child .... :D
a quirky , sickly, skinny, slightly insane n HAPPY child
on sunday nite i used to watch the tamil news rite after the sunday movie ,... n i still remember the news reader used to end each day's session with an address ... i think it was some address that the 'fans' could write to.
the pin code was something like 641 002... (aaru naalu ondru "koojium" "koojium" rendu)
i now know that the woman was saying "POOjium" .... but my lil 5 yr old yrs always picked it up as koojium ! ... i used to love that word ... KOOJIUM ....
i actually used to spend hrs in my room , by myself , walking arnd in circles , chanting koojium, koojium,koojium !
lolz i used to have so much fun with tht ..
