He described it to a primary school teacher in US (with whom he interacted, while there), as follows (parts edited):

…so my exam had started 10th september… so far the subjects i finished are social studies art and english litrature my next subject is science.

my next complete exam is on feb.

So i have been getting a few study leave’s to study but in a study leave i stay home and ashwin (my brother) goes to school and when i actually do go to school i get a half day but my mother picks me up so i am at home by 11:00 o’clock (usually).

Right know I have a gmail account, and Youtube.

Not much is going on for me so basically i just sit at home and do something or the other and at school i finish exam and sit there waiting for my mother to pick me up…

i actually think i will do very well in exam except for in these two subjects art and 2nd language is hindi. well thats a brief story about me but a true story. I don’t think it even is a story.
