Mahesh V, Senior Creative Director at O&M, Bangalore, passed away due to a Heart Attack on March 20, 2006. He was just 32. He is the key man behind the most famous Hutch Campaign that rocked India couple of years back. Mahesh and Rajiv were a dream team, who won many awards including two gold and two silver lions at Cannes, a silver pencil at the One Show and two grand prizes at the London International.
As an impending creative person, I was astonished by the way Hutch campaign was done. It was simple, amazing and brilliant. I’m sure this news is a great shock for the Indian Advertising industry.

how can life be so cruel?
Heart attack at 32! That is a worrying trend.
Life can be cruel. Lost my brother in law (wife's brother) in October last year to a heart attack. He was just 34. Peace to them wherever the departed souls are.
Life isn't a being, it isn't cruel. It's a terrible happening, let's get over it.

I knew him personally, and its definitely the worst shock. Mahesh was truly special. There are no answers, and no questions can be asked. May his soul rest in peace and may he live on in our hearts through his work.
Sad about Mahesh. I too work in advertising (over 20 years now, was with O&M Bangalore too long back). Advertising is a field where what you do for as living does not save anyone's life; unlike, say, in the medical profession. But you can kill yourself with all the stress... stress that's caused by things outside your control. Mahesh, wherever you are, here's a silent prayer from a fellow writer.
