Tata Sky

The SJA and Hostel Welfare Committee decided to bring in some extra cheer for the residents of the hostels of NUJS during the festive season by getting TATA SKY connections for both hostels. The idea was that the students could catch the latest sporting action; enjoy a better viewing experience with the vast number of channels on offer and the superior picture quality. Unfortunately, residents spent the diwali holidays with no television because the trial period of the TATA SKY had expired and the local cable connection had also been terminated.

The mandarins returned from their extended holidays to find that though the new connection was up and running, the university administration, in its usual display of fiscal prudence and concern for student welfare, had subscribed to the TATA SKY “super saver” pack, meaning that all the sports channels as well as most of the movie channels can be viewed only by subscribing to them. However, students have been assured of immediate action in this regard. After all, Liverpool still has a chance of winning the Premier League!
