DDT is 1500
Legal Corner Icon — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.TODAY we humbly present to you the 1500th edition of DDT.
My God! It's a miracle. Now I believe in GOD! People tell me, it's a record - there is no tax column running without a break for 1500 editions.
When Khushwant Singh was the editor of the Illustrated Weekly of India, there used to be a caption, "Make the Illustrated a weekly habit". Today DDT is a daily habit with many connected with taxes.
The other day, a lawyer told me, "I would like to read DDT before going to Court, but you never upload it before 10:30, with the result my clients see DDT before me and inform me a lot of things before I come to know of them – this is really emabarassing."
Many a consultant feels that we are giving a lot of information free cutting into their fees.
A frustrated Consultant asked me, "Why should you analyse the notifications and Circulars?, Why can't you leave that job to us?"
Journalism can never be silent. That is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.
DDT prays,
God, Give us:
The Strength to change the things we can,
The Courage to accept the things we cannot, and
The serenity to know the difference.
We celebrate DDT 1500 with a New Home Page. Hope you like it.
