Remembering the great Bohemian of our times

John Abraham who had become a living myth even during the short span of his nomadic existence due to his constant rebellion against all establishments and social conventions, was killed in a tragic mishap in Calicut on 30 May 1987.

He belongs to the glorious group of artists who were part of a tradition of Bohemian "experiments in living". Despite all the hardships, his life was a celebration. The intensity of the friendship, fun, colour and above all the freedom of life which he brought to the simplest details of his life made it worthwhile and memorable.
