Though I had not been in direct touch with Prof Kushal Sen, but after going through these video-lectures,  I realize he is an extraordinary teacher and has ability to make one understand the real-taste of this subject. I had so many doubts which I raised in discussion forum. And, he explained all those questions/doubts. I am really grateful to him.
