mahesh dies

mahesh, cd at ogilvy bangalore died day before
remember kieslowsky's comment in his bio-he just gave up on life...
35 is just not the age to give up. its strange, its sad, its shocking. but more than all this, it speaks of burning out, candle in the wind, & landing at airports.
mahesh landed at the airport & died. every time i land i will remember this...
didnt know him, but knew his exeplary work, didnt know his medical history but am shaken by his demise.
simon died at mica on holi day a few days back. another maverick, greatly admired in the advertising circles.
after a sabbatical of 8 days, i bought a bottle of whiskey last night to raise a toast to this twosome i wish i had known & worked with...
