Magic of the Bird is about having courage and doing things differently. The print portrays a boy on the back of a bird flying through the clouds. Vikash: One day a boy was thinking that he would love to touch the clouds. Then he jumps on a bird and flies into the sky.

Then he looks up, touches the clouds and all his fears melt away.
