Good Bye G - Bee

IT is with deep sorrow that we report the sad demise of our dear friend, Principal Commissioner of Service Tax, Pune, Gautam Bhattacharya - G Bee to some of his friends.

He wrote a few articles for us with the byline G-Bee. We started our column, "ST se GST Tak" with him on 6th August 2007 and the article given above was carried by us on 21.08.2007. We have been running this column for the last nine years, though GST seems to be elusive.

We in TIOL had a very exciting friendship with him. He addressed many of our seminars and could easily win over an audience with his knowledge and humility.

The memories of the hours spent with him come in flashes. It is difficult to believe that the sweet smile is gone - forever.

Goodbye Gautam, we miss you.
