The Flowers and the Bees
​
Everything in the BeeLand was spick and span. All the bees were doing what they were supposed to do. And the colony was buzzing. Until Stripes was born. The most intelligent bee ever born, she pushed the limits of what a bee can do. She made all the bees see the bigger picture.
See how this worker bee fought her way against all odds, and how she did not settle for anything less than excellence.

I Died Therefore I Am
​
We are defined by what we've been through in life... and in death.
"I Died Therefore I Am" is a story about how death becomes a threshold to a new life, a door to another existence, a purpose. It is not the end, but a beginning of something, something wonderful.
Find out how Strauss, the most intelligent bench in the park, saw all these things happening right in front of him.

WHAT IS PLEASURE WITHOUT PAIN
​
This story is inspired by a friend who went through 34 hours of labor, to give birth to a sweet beautiful girl, Mishika.
Here we see the meaning of pain, and , by just going through it, how we deserve the pleasure and the rewards. To those who decide a short cut in life to avoid pain, they always suffer in the end. Those who do not accept failure, do not deserve success. Those who do not want to go through pain, do not deserve pleasure.
This story is all about it.
TOUCHDOWN
​Birds display there full grandeur when they spread their wings in the air. But they all go back to their nests or to the trees, and everytime they do that, there is that brief moment that they slow down and carefully do the Touchdown.
In life, we too have our moments of glory, and we are oftentimes so high up in the air with pride that we too have our Touchdowns where we are brought down back to earth for a reality check and eat some humility pies.
This story is about such moments. What happens next depends upon how we handle each touchdown.
