Introduction

Dear Friends

As you know I already have two blogs, one on Finance (http://ajoy-finsight.blogspot.in) and the other on general issues, discussions etc (http://ajoy-reflections.blogspot.in).  I have not been very active in blogging for quite sometime due to various preoccupations.   But, I have decided to be an active blogger from now.  I am launching a new blog 'My Sessions'.  It is an initiative from my side to scribble down points related to various concepts that I discuss in the class room.  Today, many professors from leading Institutes world wide are uploading their teaching materials, discussion papers, student assignments etc. on their websites.  In this background, I thought it is appropriate to take a small step in this direction by scribbling brief discussions based on my class room teaching on a regular basis on this blog.  This would help my students, ex-students and friends to have a look at what I teach and participate in the discussions through this blog.

The contents of this blog would be a short description of the concepts that I teach in the classroom, some interesting aspects related to the concept, practical examples, links to related articles, research papers and any other interesting literature related to the concept being discussed.  Many times, it so happens that after I come out of the class, I feel that I should have given some more examples or explained the same concepts in a different manner.  But, since the class is over, I hardly get a chance to go back and discuss the same things again.  Even if I plan to do so in the next session, the time constraints of a course do not permit such extended discussions.  Hence, I can use this platform to scribble down such afterthoughts.

I look forward to all my students, ex-students and friends visiting this blog regularly.  I also request my ex-students and friends to participate in the discussions here as you can bring in lot of practical knowledge and relate the theoretical concepts with what is being practiced.  Let us learn from each other and make learning a collective and continuous exercise.

Thank you
