It is with deep sadness that we post this. Kannada actor Vishuvardhan passed away due to cardiac arrest in the wee hours of the morning in Mysore. Vishuvardhan was 59.

Born as Sampathkumar on September 18, 1950 to HL Narayana Rao who was an artist and a scriptwriter, he was named Vishuvardhan in his debut film Vamshavruksha in 1972.

Vishnu (59) is survived by his wife, Bharathi Vishnuvardhan, and two adopted daughters, Keerthi and Chandana.

Thousands descended on the streets to give their Sahasasimha, Dr Vishnuvardhan, a grand farewell. Karnataka Governor H.R. Bharadwaj, Mohan Babu, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Tamil actor Sarathkumar, Radikaa and many others paid their last respects in the National College Grounds.

Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa has allocated two acres of land next to Abhiman Studio on Mysore Road for the memorial of Dr. Vishnuvardhan.

Dishtv unveils new Brand Identity, ‘Ghar Aayi Zindagi’

DishTV gets ‘emotional’, and unveils its new brand identity campaign, Ghar Aayi Zindagi

DTH player Dish TV today unveiled a new brand logo and TV commercials featuring brand ambassador Shahrukh Khan as part of its Rs 30-crore brand restructuring plan.

The 360-degree campaign will have multiple platforms like television, out-of-home, print and digital media.

“Our new brand identity is progressive, dynamic and contemporary. It revolves around ‘Ghar Aayi Zindagi’ and positions the brand around emotional values,” Dish TV Chief Operating Officer Salil Kapoor told reporters here.

The campaign had a total budget of Rs 30 crore, he added.

The T.A.G Ideation-created campaign showcases the brand ambassador, Shahrukh Khan as a 75-year old grandfather (see picture), romancing Tanvi Azmi, his wife. In the second TVC, Shahrukh Khan is paired with Tisca Chopra where he brings home an orphan girl child who settles into the family only after an experience with Dishtv.

The DTH brand, which has about 6.3 million subscribers, has moved from its ‘Santusht’ campaign (where the aim was to educate masses to demand for more than basic cable services) to connecting with the masses.

“After Santusht, we had the ‘Sabse Zyaada’ campaign, which promised the customer the widest channel bouquet as well as advanced active services,” he said.

The new campaign has been designed by Mccann Erickson and the TVCs have been directed by film maker Anurag Basu.

On why the shift now, Kapoor feels that it was necessary to move from mere functional communication to a more emotional paradigm. “It was a result of extensive research, and we’ve now come a long way from the initial phase of the ‘Santusht’ campaign that aimed at educating the masses to demand for more than basic cable services – ‘Sabse Zyaada’,” Kapoor points out.

Mahesh was a science student at the North Kentucky University and his parents, who received his body only on Thursday, are inconsolable.

“As an only son we not only lost a son but we lost everything,” his mother Sharvathy Subramaniam says.

The death of 20-year-old Mahesh is yet another incident that has raised questions about the safety of Indian students in America.

On January 18, 2008, 29-year-old Abhijeet Mahato of Jharkhand, who was a PhD student at North Carolina’s Dukes Pratt School of Engineering, was shot dead at an off-campus apartment complex.

On December 13, 2007, two Louisiana State University research students from Andhra Pradesh, Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam, were shot dead in a flat near their campus.

In Mahesh’s case preliminary autopsy reports haven’t been able to establish the cause of his death.

His family has been asked to wait for six weeks for the final report and they say the US authorities are yet to contact them.

But they do have a request for the authorities.

“In future this should not happen to other students. I request both governments to take more precautionary measures for international students,” Sharvathy pleads.

And the family waits for a word on what exactly led to this tragedy before they can file a police complaint. Source: IBNLive.com
