Professor Sambasiva Swaminathan, known to many of us as Professor SS and ‘Sama’ to his close friends, one of the senior most and distinguished organic chemists of this country passed away on 24 February 2020 at the age of 97 at his residence in Chennai. It was only a week before (on 17 Feb), one of the authors and his former Ph D student (SCN) visited him and had long chat with him about his health. While he appeared cheerful at that time, it was clear that he was slowly sinking and the end came a week later. It is truly the end of an era.
