DDT is 3000

Heartfelt congratulations to Vijay and TIOL for this huge achievement.

But, saddenned to note that DDT will cease to exist. As rightly stated by Vijay, whoever would have though a daily column on some mundane topic of tax will be read by netizens, let alone be lapped up with unbridled interest on a daily basis by thousands. There is no denial of the fact that the column was a bridge between the confusing laws and confused stakeholders.

While understanding the huge efforts required to sustain a column over such a long time, I only hope that the reason has nothing to do with the lack of written response of netizens in the column. As everyone will agree, the column was being read on a daily basis by tens of thousands (industry, government and advisors all alike) but did not evoke major comments, responses etc. simply due to the indisputable highest quality of the contents. The number of hits of the DDT page will have vouched for its huge popularity.

I was one among such silent thousands who avidly followed DDT, and will miss it from my heart.

I sincerely hope Vijay and TIOL team reconsider the decision and continue with DDT for longer time.
