Excuse me?  "Excelling?"  That isn't the take of his teachers, from what I understand.  Of course, they don't mention that he never graduated from elementary school nor did he go on to receive any higher education...... nooooo, of course not. 

Well, maybe not quite...... Charanand does mention telling Mata that he'd bring him back to India to complete his education in "3 weeks."  Man...... that's a long three weeks Char-baby!  You told a little fibbie-poo, didn't you.... chuckle, chuckle, chortle, smirk!
