Hurrah people. Here is the mail sent by the Prof -
Dear Kiran,
I am surprised there are so many fans out there. Thanks for this initiative. I will see what can be done next year as this year’s lectures are almost over. I will also try to get more active on my blog. You can tell that to all the petitioners and please do thank them for all the interest as well as all the adulation I get from them.
Once my course is over, I will also invite any petitioner to become a member of the class google group where there are lots more material than just slides which I put up on my site.
Hope this will make you (and the petitioners) happy 
Cheers,

Dear Sir,
At the outset, I, on behalf of more than 100 investors (in India and otherwise) would like to thank you for putting up your BFBV material on your site. The more we read about your investing thought process and your ppts over the years, the more we learn about investing and worldly wisdom in general.
However, there exists a pain point within the value investing community today where majority of us haven’t learnt from a terrific Finance Prof directly. Although you have been generous to put your ppts online, we all feel that it is no where close to listening directly from a Master.Many of us, at various points in time, would have pondered as to how it would be to listen to the Prof, sitting in his class. But we have wondered only ‘individually’ (and I am sure you would have heard such thoughts on your blog).
I wanted to rectify the situation in some small way by putting up a petition online requesting you to put up your classes online and asked people to sign in, if they were interested. I am delighted to let you know that more 100 people (and counting, by the hour) have signed this petition within a space of one day. I wanted to forward you their signatures and comments and let you know that there is a huge audience out here who is willing to learn investing and worldly wisdom from you directly if you could put your classes (along with ppts) also online. I understand that there might be logistical issues, but I hoped that a ‘collective’ audience would do a much better job in persuading you to put up your classes online than ‘individually’.
Please do go through the petition, signatures and comments which emphasize our commitment to learning from you, even from a distance. Hope you accept our petition and request and put up your classes (whenever they happen - streaming or recorded) online.

Thanks
