Ms Pattu walks out of Mother India

and the producers had to rope in someone else to be ready for release for Independence Day.

Yes, Pattu was supposed to hold the flag and stand at the center while other older children danced to a patriotic number. But Pattu felt that the role does not give her enough opportunities to display her talent (too much nenappu (attitude) for being so damathoondu (small) I thought!!)

"Amma, I also want to dance like the others...I don't want to just stand"

That'll take a while my dear...maybe next year.

Instead, she was happy winning 2 prizes for sports and participating in a drawing contest. 

Psst: The drawing was too funny...it just had some blobs of colour though she called the blobs 'house', 'tree', 'sheep', 'sun', 'flower', 'cloud', 'girl' ...

'too much nenappu (attitude) for being so damathoondu (small) I thought!!' - Lol... But, to be fair to Pattu, how boring and frustrating will it be to stand still and see other kids dance??! :(

Congrats to kutti ponnu on winning those prizes! Way to go Pattu.. And how boring really to simply stand in the centre and not do anything.. its all good nenapus only;)

All - true, boring to just stand ... but this is the first step. But then she didn't even crawl as a baby...she just sat up and walked... that says something I guess

yeah, she enjoyed the sports though...
