A week after it all happened, I found myself looking a photo album from my college days. It must be close to five years since it was taken, but that picture sure left a lump in my throat. So much has gone past in these five years and all our lives have changed mostly for the better. Some of us are set for a good life while some of us are slowly motoring along that path. Everyone but Johnny.
While I can't say anything for those people who were with "Space Jim" Johnny on that day or even Raapi, my view is that life is too unpredictable to live without taking on a few challenges. It will always be discussed whether PJ could have avoided what he did that fateful day last week. But then Murphy's law is ubiquitous and if you ask me, sitting down on a chair is as dangerous as driving at 90 mph on wet roads. So where do we draw the line? So do we live as we think we should? I guess so... I know this is muddled, but I can't put it in any other way. It's the classical catch-22 situation! Decide for yourself! Make the choice and remember that you may live or die with it!
And for want of better words to eulogize PJ, I am just echoing the Don's classic words....
thinking he is gone...
he will always be remembered, dear john....
R.I.P Johnny!
