I was shocked to see that he had Russian Satellite TV
September 15, 2009
I have always been fascinated by Russia. It probably has something to do with the fact that very little was known about Russia when it was behind the Iron Curtain. I joined some Russian classes and learnt Russian so that I could read some books on Russian literature and watch some Russian movies. I wanted to visit Russia some day. I was particularly interested in going and seeing Stalingrad, Leningrad and Siberia. After I had gained a working knowledge of Russian, I got some books and started reading. Initially I took forever to read one page, but slowly my speed improved and I was able complete the first book of some 230 pages in about 25 days.
One morning I got a call from a dear friend of mine. He sounded all excited and wanted us to join him for dinner that evening and said that he had a surprise for me. Despite numerous entireties he refused to divulge what the surprise was. I was restless all day and kept wondering what he was going to show me. Time passed really slowly. I kept ringing him up on some pretext or the other all day, hoping that he would drop a hint, but he was very careful not to give any inkling of what he had planned.
Finally the day passed and I along with my wife got ready to go to my friend’s house for the party. We reached there at 8 PM on the dot. He and his wife received us and after a few minutes of small talk he said he asked me if I was ready for the surprise. I said I was dying to know what the surprise was. He took us to the living room and switched on the TV set. I was delighted to see that there was a Russian Movie being screened on the channel. I asked him how a Russian movie was being screened. He said that he had managed to get Russian satellite TV and could get me one too if I was interested. I was overjoyed ! I had never imagined that I would be able to get Dish Net work with Russian Satellite TV. It was like a dream. He told me that Dish Network offers a Russian Mega Pack with a variety of programs in the Russian language including 15 of the best movie channels. I told him that I could not wait to get the connection and he promised me that all I needed to do was give Dish Network a call and the Russian Satellite TV would be installed the next day.
