Coffee mug

The thing about sipping at some of that precious and deeply comforting mug of dark gold, in the wee hours of the morning and, in my case, the wee hours of the night too, is that it gets you through the day. It's almost like a subtle form of meditation. To me, it certainly is. My mind goes into draft mode where I'm just thinking about making the perfect cup of coffee. I take it black. Deep, deep meditation and sole focus on how many teaspoons I add, to how many pots of boiling water and the amount of sugar I felt like having that day. Or on some days, I don't even need any.

However, what I do need now, I decide is a new mug.

 A new feeling to caress each morning. I find myself browsing the stores, feeling the feel of them in my hands and imagining how it would feel with the warm liquid in it and I keep looking. There is just one mug that I like so far among about sixty odd kinds I've looked at so far. Some are too round, too small, too big, too thick, too heavy. What is the right kind?

Saw these on flipkart. I adore the 'Happiness is' series. They have very comical, light-hearted and heartwarming mugs. I have also seen them in Home centre, attached to Lifestyle stores at the mall. I felt the designs were also better there.

Now, this is my kinda mug :)

For those that fancy a wooden mug. This one is from flipkart.com too

Not a coffee mug but it's so cute!!! flipkart.com

I've seen these at Spar in their mug section. They are also available on flipkart.com I like the one with the cow on it. Say, "Moo!"

Available on flipkart. Fancy a cute tiger on your mug?

There are those days when all you need is a glass. This mug serves well for those see-through kind of days.


The above design is from Crate and Barrel, they ship to India. So is the design below.
Now, this is my kinda mug. I like that it's pristine white and just right. A little floral design like a lotus or something very simple would have been great but this is what I am looking for.

So, at the end of the day. I am still looking for lovely mugs. There are a wide selection to choose from. I have spotted good ones on the cafecoffee day website, on the Chumbak website (they have such amazing and quirky designs!!), Pepperfry.com and few others. My hunt goes on but this is something I love looking out for.

Where do you get your coffee mugs from? Do you enjoy shopping around for them like I do?

And on that note, this is my first post of this year. I have been traveling, taken ill and finally back home recuperating. Nothing major and already on the road to recovery. On a great note, Happy New Year 2016 all of you and Stay Blessed. Keep reading and thank you for the love you always share.
Watch out for more!

Lots of Love

    1. Happy New year, Naz. I thought of starting the year with a post close to the heart. I was not regularly in to drinking any beverages myself till I discovered black coffee when I was visiting an aunt. Now I'm hooked and it's s daily ritual. I even search for the perfect mug just to celebrate it. Haha

  4. Hope you're doing better now, CC. Please take care of your health! :)

    And coming to the coffee mugs.. Hmm no I don't drink coffee.. or tea.. But of course I love mugs and my dad gifts one to me each time I break the existing one! lol. Btw, I've 3-4 right now. The 'happiness is' theme looks interesting. If I get one, I probably will start picking more on that series after that.

    Wishing you a wonderful new year! Take care, once again.

    1. Hi Lancy!!! happy new year! so happy to see your comment. How are you doing? I am recovering.....not the January I pictured in my mind but hey! things could have been worse. So in that way, i think I'm better than good ;) hehe I have a habit of breaking things...by mistake ofcourse, that's usually when I go get myself a new mug. The 'happiness is' series is really cool.I think it reminds us daily about things we can be grateful for. take care, sweetheart :)
