Sam Dastoor 's views ..
"Publisher is the person ultimately responsible for what is written in a Newspaper. Publishing is a big time Industry, today. Till some years back, the owner himself used to be the publisher. Today, it is considered a separate professional function. "
"Internet is working very well for everyone. It is working exceptionally well for us. Internet can help gather the news faster and also to send it out faster. Though, not faster than the Television. Also, on the net you cannot give details that can be given in the Newspaper. Yes, we save a lot of time and effort sending the News to all our Centres. No two ways about it that it is a great thing."
"Photography- It is a tremendous art form. These days any one can take good picture with the latest gadgets. Photos can be exchanged on the Net. I do not find as much time as I would like to pursue this activity. But close-up Photography is really a passion with me. Imagine a lovely flower! You can go right down to the last pollen grain. You can see what you cannot see. I hope, when I retire, I shall be able to devote a lot more time to my passion."
